SITUATION

at the foot of the Lammermuir Hills just 2.5 miles to the

East Lothian Countryside. Gifford is renowned for its
picturesque houses, church, village green and 18th century
Mercat (market) Cross. It has a church, several shops,
two traditional hotels, a garage, large park and two golf
courses - Gifford Golf Club is on the western edge of the
village, while Castle Park Golf Club is to the south. The

which is located approximately 7 miles away and offers

The Coach House combines exceptional privacy with
convenient accessibility being just 23 miles from the City
of Edinburgh and its International Airport. Edinburgh is
a renowned cultural centre, and the home of the National
Museum of Scotland, the National Library of Scotland, and
the Scottish National Gallery.[9] The city is also known
for the Edinburgh International Festival and the Fringe,
the latter being the world's largest annual international
arts festival. Historic sites in Edinburgh include Edinburgh
Castle, the Palace of Holyroodhouse, St Giles' Cathedral,
Greyfriars Kirk, Canongate Kirk and the extensive Georgian
New Town built in the 18th and 19th centuries. Edinburgh
has several independent, fee-paying schools including
Edinburgh Academy, Fettes College, George Heriot's
School, George Watson's College, Merchiston Castle
School, Stewart's Melville College and The Mary Erskine
School.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The Coach House is a charming country house, occupying
a private position with breathtaking views across East
Lothian countryside towards the firth of forth. Approached
via a private drive and with a sunken cottage garden and
stone outbuilding this idyllic spot resembles a scene from a
Beatrix Potter tale. Constructed circa 1850, the house was
originally two properties which have since been developed
into one larger family home and whilst some modernisation
and reconfiguration may now be beneficial the property
has the potential to become an outstanding country
residence.

The house is of traditional solid stone construction
rendered externally under a slate covered roof
with predominantly timber framed double glazed
windows. The accommodation is arranged over two
storeys, as detailed in the accompanying floor plans:

Ground Floor: Garden Room leading to entrance hall
with cloakroom and stairs rising to first floor, access
to; Sitting Room with wood burning stove; Kitchen
with range of wall and floor units; Dining Room with
wood burning stove and double doors to garden;
Rear Hall with Cloakroom, access to Porch and stairs
to first floor.

First Floor: South landing leading to four double
bedrooms, including the principal bedroom; family
bathroom, study and shower room. North landing to
bedroom and shower room.

GARDENS
Enclosed gardens surround the house,
predominantly laid to lawn with attractive borders,
shrubs, hedging and woodland. Features include a
cottage garden and pond to the north, a patio to the
south which is a real sun trap and gravelled parking
area for several vehicles to the front and side of the
house. Part of the grounds were previously used for
a grazing paddock and there is potential to revert
some garden space back to create a pony paddock
if desired.

OUTBUILDING
A short distance to the north of the Coach House is
a standalone 'L shaped' traditional stone outbuilding
(circa 89 sq.m GIA) currently used as a workshop
and for storage but equally could be redeveloped to
create a home office/games room or additional living
or holiday accommodation (subject to obtaining the
necessary consents).
