Grieves Cottage is a traditional stone-built home set in an open, rural location less than a mile from the east coast. The house offers comfortable accommodation across two levels with a dual-aspect sitting room and a wood-burning stove, three bedrooms and a large south-facing garden that enjoys countryside views and multiple outdoor seating areas.
The property suits buyers seeking a peaceful, characterful home with substantial outdoor space — ideal for gardeners, hobbyists or those wanting room to entertain outdoors. The separate externally accessed store room/home office provides useful workspace or secure storage away from the main living areas.
Practical factors to note: heating is by oil-fired boiler, water is from a private meter and drainage is to a septic tank. The Energy Performance Certificate is rated F, and a servitude/right of access will be retained by the current owners. The single bathroom and some period features may require updating to meet modern standards.
Location is a strong selling point: the cottage sits between Dunbar and Cockburnspath, within easy reach of coastal scenery and the Lammermuir Hills, while road and rail links give reasonable access to Edinburgh. The property is freehold and offered with fixtures and some integrated white goods included.
