Meadowside, Strathearn Road, North Berwick, East Lothian

Dating from around 1910, Meadowside is an impressive detached house occupying a peaceful position on the edge of North Berwick, a short distance from North Berwick West Links golf course and the coast. Extending to over 4,700 square feet, the house offers generous and flexible accommodation, combining period character with modern convenience.

An entrance vestibule with stained glass opens into a reception hall with original timber panelling. The ground floor provides well-balanced living and entertaining space with two spacious reception rooms including a dual-aspect drawing and dining room with timber panelling and a bright sitting room with a large bay window, both featuring working fireplaces. The kitchen dining room forms the hub of the house, designed by Christopher Howard with granite work surfaces, a central island and a gas and electric four-oven Aga. There is ample space for dining, with direct access to the garden. The adjoining former butler’s pantry has been converted into a bar, with a serving hatch to the drawing room. A conservatory by Mozolowski & Murray creates a light-filled extension to the living space, opening onto the garden. Also on this floor are a study or seventh bedroom, a utility room, a bathroom and two shower rooms.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes a decorative fireplace, a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, an en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower and a large dressing room with built-in storage. Four further double bedrooms, all retaining period features, are served by a contemporary, tiled family bathroom with a bath, a shower, WC and wash hand basin.

Outside
The house is set within approximately 0.64 acres of beautifully maintained grounds. A private driveway provides ample parking and leads to a generous single garage with electric doors. The picturesque gardens, which lie to both the front and rear, are predominantly laid to lawn and framed by mature trees, shrubs and herbaceous planting, creating a sheltered and attractive environment that is particularly well suited to family use. Within the grounds sits the Garden Cottage, originally a tennis pavilion and now converted into a comfortable self-contained annexe comprising a sitting room, bedroom and en-suite shower room. This provides ideal accommodation for guests, staff or potential short-term letting subject to necessary consent. Further outbuildings include a generous single garage, a greenhouse, a timber garden store with original coal and log store.
