Wester Tyne Brae, Pencaitland, Tranent, EH34

Enjoying a desirable setting on the fringes of Pencaitland, this charming detached dormer bungalow offers a beautifully designed contemporary home with excellent energy efficiency. Three double bedrooms are served by a principal en-suite shower room, a family bathroom, and a guest WC, while interconnected living and dining spaces flow onto an enclosed south-facing garden. A gated driveway with EV charging and a detached single garage provide ample private parking.

The delightful country home forms part of an attractive community in one of East Lothian’s most charming conservation villages. The village is on a half-hourly bus route to the city centre, and walking is particularly good with easy access to the Pencaitland railway path and Winton Walks as well as local woodland. Pencaitland offers local amenities, including a primary school, while idyllic countryside, the East Lothian coastline, and Edinburgh—approximately 30 minutes away by car—are within easy reach. Behind the symmetrical façade, crisp muted interiors are enlivened by bold colour, botanical patterns, and stylish finishes, while the established garden creates a private green oasis with a summerhouse.

A light-filled entrance hall creates an uplifting first impression, with rich navy décor, plush carpeting, and built-in storage. A stylish guest WC features striking patterned wallpaper for a playful flourish.

Natural light streams into the spacious carpeted living room, where an olive-green accent wall adds warmth and personality. Glazed double doors open into the adjoining dining area, with the kitchen beyond and French doors to the garden, creating a clear sight-line through the reception spaces.

Facing south over the rear garden with two external entrances, the bright dining kitchen showcases Scandi-inspired minimalist styling, with streamlined taupe cabinetry complemented by warm wood-effect worktops and flooring. A casual seating peninsula complements the sociable layout, alongside an integrated oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher, plus a gas hob with a stainless-steel splashback and chimney hood. A utility cupboard provides a concealed, plumbed laundry area.

Situated on the ground floor, the principal suite is well suited to guests, live-in relatives, or those seeking single-level living. The bedroom is elegantly presented with soft carpeting and a richly patterned feature wall, while a mirrored fitted wardrobe provides plentiful storage. Completing the suite is a naturally lit en-suite shower room, finished with tasteful neutral tiling and practical storage for toiletries.

On the first floor, a landing leads to two further carpeted double bedrooms, both featuring characterful coombed ceilings and dormer windows. One is currently arranged as a generous home office and sitting room, enhanced by colourful accent décor, while the other benefits from two mirrored fitted wardrobes.

The upstairs bedrooms are served by a bright, neutrally styled family bathroom, featuring excellent vanity storage and a bath with an overhead shower. A patterned tiled surround adds a distinctive finish.

A neat front garden enhances the home’s attractive approach, while the enclosed south-facing rear garden offers a wonderfully private outdoor retreat. A lawn, meandering paths, established trees, and richly planted borders create year-round colour, complemented by several seating areas and a charming timber summerhouse, perfect for quiet relaxation.

The private driveway accommodates two cars behind secure gates, with space for a third vehicle in front. An upgraded electrical system serves the EV charging point, while the detached single garage provides further parking and storage.
