Links Road, North Berwick, East Lothian, EH39

Wonderful renovated Victorian three bedroom home in central North Berwick

Description

Accessed via a private gated entrance from the street, Links Road is a well proportioned and beautifully presented three-bedroom home occupying a south-facing elevation connecting to a Victorian villa. Renovated by the current owners, this unique two-storey property combines character, style and modern convenience.
A private garden gate opens onto a paved terrace that leads to steps up to double storm doors and the entrance vestibule. A useful store is located to the left, while an inner door opens into the central inner hallway. From here, the accommodation flows through to the heart of the home, where an open-plan kitchen connects seamlessly with the impressive sitting and dining room. Both spaces benefit from vaulted ceilings, an abundance of natural light and attractive views over the garden.
The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units together with integrated appliances including a gas hob, electric oven and dishwasher. A practical utility cupboard provides additional storage and laundry space.
A couple of steps lead down from the kitchen into the principal living area; a generous sitting and dining room featuring beautiful parquet flooring, a log-burning stove and bifold doors opening directly onto the garden. Adjacent to this space, and concealed behind sliding barn doors, is a versatile study/studio which could equally serve as an additional dining room, family room or home office.
Completing the ground floor accommodation are a cosy snug, a ground floor bedroom and a conveniently located WC.
The first floor comprises two further double bedrooms, both benefiting from access to a separate dressing room. The family bathroom is fitted with a traditional slipper bath, wash hand basin and WC, while a separate shower room is situated alongside.
Externally, the fully enclosed private walled garden has been thoughtfully landscaped for ease of maintenance and provides several sheltered seating areas from which to enjoy the sun throughout the day. A shared drying green is accessed via a separate side gate and leads to the rear of the property.
