Period charm with an extraordinary private garden.

Beautifully presented and full of period charm, this delightful two-bedroom lower main door flat forms part of a traditional stone-built house in the heart of the sought-after village of East Linton. Combining elegant original features with generous accommodation and an extraordinary private garden, this is a home that offers both character and lifestyle in equal measure.

A welcoming vestibule with a beautiful coloured glass door leads into a long hallway, where impressive ceiling heights and ornate cornicing immediately set the tone. To the front, the spacious sitting room is flooded with natural light from a large sash window and is centred around a striking cast iron and marble fireplace. Ornate cornicing and a traditional Edinburgh press, now utilised as a bookshelf, further enhance the room's timeless appeal. To the rear, the bright dining kitchen enjoys lovely views over the garden and features an excellent range of shaker-style cabinetry, generous worktop space and room for freestanding dining furniture, creating a welcoming hub for everyday living and entertaining. A practical utility room sits just off the kitchen and provides direct access to the garden. There are two generous double bedrooms. The principal bedroom enjoys a peaceful position overlooking the rear garden, while the second bedroom, currently arranged as a home office, demonstrates the flexibility of the accommodation. This charming room also benefits from a beautiful fireplace and a second Edinburgh press. Completing the accommodation is a characterful bathroom with a delightful country cottage feel.

The gardens are a true highlight of the property. To the front, a neatly planted garden with mature shrubs enjoys the morning sunshine, making it the perfect place for a morning coffee. To the rear, the substantial private garden has been lovingly established over many years and unfolds into a series of beautiful spaces, including sweeping lawns, colourful borders, gravel pathways, patios and an abundance of mature trees, shrubs and planting that provide year-round interest. Enjoying sunshine throughout the day and into the evening, it offers a wonderfully peaceful retreat for relaxing, entertaining, or simply appreciating the changing seasons. A shared stone-built external store (shared with the upper flat), separate log store, garden shed and drying area provide excellent additional storage. Ample unrestricted on-street parking is available directly outside.

A charming period home offering elegant accommodation, beautiful original features and one of the most impressive private gardens in East Linton, all within easy walking distance of the village's excellent amenities.
