Elvingston House is an imposing Victorian country residence set within about 12.5 acres of formal gardens, paddocks and woodland. The house retains strong period character — high ceilings, ornate cornicing, marble fireplaces and an impressive principal suite — and offers exceptionally large rooms arranged over multiple floors.
This B‑listed property requires renovation in places and some areas offer scope for modernisation; the stable block also needs restoration. The house benefits from an on‑site biomass heating system that currently generates RHI income, but its listed status will restrict certain alterations and will require specialist consent and care.
For families or buyers seeking a grand country home, the estate provides flexible accommodation (8–9 bedrooms, multiple reception rooms and several kitchens), excellent privacy approached via a private drive, and direct access to countryside pursuits. It is well connected: Longniddry station and road links to Edinburgh are within easy reach, while local schools and golfing and coastal recreation are nearby.
Buyers should budget for renovation costs and higher on‑going charges: the property has very expensive council tax and listed‑building responsibilities. Taken as a whole, Elvingston presents a rare opportunity to restore and personalise a significant historic house with substantial land and versatile outbuildings.
