Firs, Dovecote, Haddington, East Lothian, EH41 4HA

This exclusive four-bedroom new-build detached house is an outstanding family home of the highest standards. Spanning over 2695 square feet, the contemporary residence offers impressively large rooms presented with a sought-after blank canvas and all-new fixtures and fittings throughout. It features a substantial living area, a state-of-the-art kitchen/dining room with integrated Siemens appliances, and the convenience of three en-suites and a five-piece family bathroom. Externally, the home sits within generous wraparound grounds too, providing private parking for multiple vehicles and suntrap gardens. It also has an integrated garage and superb built-in storage. Forming part of a family-friendly development, the property enjoys a highly desirable location as well, set close to the East Lothian countryside that surrounds Haddington while remaining within swift reach of all the market town offers.

Inside, a naturally-lit reception hall firmly establishes the home’s luxury standards, thanks to crisp white walls and an oak floor. It provides a strong first impression and an understairs space for coats and shoes.

The living room has an expansive footprint that spans 326 square feet, providing abundant floorspace for a wide array of furnishings. The dual-aspect room also boasts French doors to the north and south, which ensures a flood of natural light and easy access to the surrounding gardens. The neutral decoration further enhances the airy ambience, while a plush carpet ensures maximum comfort.

Organised around a central island, the open-plan kitchen/dining room has a statement design by Kitchens International. The ultra-modern aesthetic features sleek cabinetry in white alongside solid quartz worktops, housing a deep sink with a Quooker tap for instant boiling water. A wood-fronted double unit (housing an in-built TV) complements the internal oak door, while a neat line of integrated Siemens appliances (in black) bring a monochrome touch to the aesthetic. The large, dual-aspect room leaves plenty of space for a family-sized table and chairs as well. Plus, south-facing French doors to the garden ensure a seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A separate utility room (with built-in storage) matches the kitchen’s high-end design.

The four bedrooms are all king-sized spaces with built-in wardrobes, each room further benefitting from neutral styling and thick carpets. The first-floor bedrooms all come with Juliet balconies too, bringing a leafy, natural ambience indoors. Additionally, the large principal bedroom boasts a superior four-piece en-suite bathroom with a freestanding deep-soak bath and a walk-in shower enclosure. Bedroom two also has its own premium en-suite shower room. Plus, the fourth bedroom on the ground floor has a Jack-and-Jill style en-suite shower room, making it ideal as a guest suite.

In addition to the three en-suites, Firs has an equally high-specification family bathroom fitted with a five-piece suite. It features a hidden-cistern toilet, twin stone washbasins by Lusso, an illuminated mirror, a ladder-style towel radiator, a double-ended freestanding bathtub, and a double-sized (walk-in) shower cubicle with a drenching ceiling mounted showerhead (like all the en-suites).

Optimal efficiency and comfort are assured via triple-glazed windows and a Vaillant air source heat pump, with underfloor heating throughout the ground floor and radiators on the upper floor.

The property is enveloped by beautiful wraparound grounds, incorporating neat patio areas and a manicured lawn, as well as a generous driveway that can readily accommodate multiple cars. The driveway comes with an electric vehicle (EV) charger and it leads to an integrated garage as well. Meanwhile, the garden areas (framed by dedicated plant beds) create plenty of opportunities for lounging and dining in the sun, especially at the large south-facing patio which is perfect for summer entertaining.

Extras: all fitted floor coverings, light fittings, integrated Siemens appliances (induction hob with in-built extractor, two self-cleaning ovens, microwave combi oven, warming drawer, bean-to-cup coffee machine, full-height fridge, full-height freezer, and dishwasher), a washing machine, and a tumble dryer to be included in the sale. Please note, no warranties or guarantees shall be provided in relation to any of the moveables and/or appliances included in the price, as these items are to be left in a sold as seen condition.
