Recently renovated coastal chalet on a rare, generous plot at Belhaven Bay.

Located just moments from the sweeping sands of Belhaven Bay, 8 Chalet, Back Road offers a well-proportioned two-bedroom coastal retreat in one of East Lothian’s most desirable seaside settings. Recently renovated throughout and set on a generous plot, this chalet provides wonderful modern comfort in truly move-in condition.

Both bedrooms are of a good size, with the principal bedroom benefiting from built-in sliding wardrobes that offer excellent storage. A modern shower room completes the internal accommodation.

Externally, the chalet is in excellent condition, and sits on a substantial wraparound plot, providing ample garden areas and scope to potentially extend or reconfigure, subject to the necessary consents. High quality composite cladding has the additional benefit of low future maintenance.

8 Chalet, Back Road represents an appealing chance to secure a modernised, low-maintenance holiday base within easy reach of Belhaven’s iconic coastline, with generous outdoor space and further potential seldom found in the area.

Location

Historic Dunbar, which is surrounded by fantastic scenery, is a vibrant thriving town with a real sense of community. There is a bustling high street with an excellent selection of independent and artisan shops, restaurants and galleries with the convenience of a large supermarket on the outskirts. The two colourful working harbours beneath the ruined castle are the hub of the town and the Harbour Trust is an active part of local life. The Dunbar Battery has recently been spectacularly restored to create a unique open-air venue with an amphitheatre and a coastal garden. There is also a leisure centre with a swimming pool, wave machine and flumes, a newly opened platinum fitness centre, two golf courses, beautiful sandy beaches, spectacular cliff top walks and the John Muir Country Park. The town is also home to Coast to Coast, Scotland’s largest surfing school. The convenience of easy access to Edinburgh City Centre by train (25 minutes) or via a regular bus service and access to the A1 and City Bypass is easy and straightforward, which combined with accessibility to Newcastle and the South by train or car adds to the appeal of this sought-after town.
