A distinctive B‑Listed former Post Office in the centre of Tyninghame, this detached three‑bedroom cottage combines period character with bright, minimalist interiors. The living room, warmed by a log burner, and the country‑style kitchen/dining room run the full depth of the house, creating naturally light, sociable ground‑floor spaces. Fitted floor and window coverings and light fittings are included, making the house ready to occupy.
Upstairs the principal bedroom is generously proportioned and benefits from built storage and a luxury en‑suite shower room; two further double bedrooms and a second modern shower room complete the first floor. The footprint and room sizes give flexibility for reconfiguration or extension, subject to consent, and the property’s above‑average internal area for a three‑bedroom home is a clear selling point.
Practical realities are straightforward: plot and garden are small to average with a neat side garden and an external store/lean‑to; parking is unrestricted on‑street only. As a B‑Listed building, any structural changes or extensions will require listed‑building consent and may limit options and add cost. The house lies in a pleasant village centre location with village amenities close by, but the wider area records some local deprivation indicators to note.
This home will suit a buyer seeking character and space in a village setting — a family or couple who value period detail and light, adaptable living rather than a large private plot. Those planning major alterations should budget time and cost for listed‑building permissions.
