Large 5-bedroom detached house over three floors
A substantial 1930s detached house set in about 0.5 acres on a sought-after Longniddry street, offering generous family accommodation across three floors. The house blends original period features — bay windows, stained-glass window, original tiled vestibule and working maid’s bells — with later improvements: a rear open-plan kitchen/living extension, second-floor roof conversion and a garage conversion. There is a useful garden studio/home office with heating, electricity and fast broadband, plus workshop and sheds.
The layout suits a large or multi-generational family: five bedrooms (four en-suite), multiple reception rooms, a spa/gym room, utility and boot room, and roughly 4,312 sq ft of internal space. Well‑manicured formal lawns, terraces, an oak gazebo and a productive fruit and vegetable garden create private outside space and strong curb appeal.
Practical points to consider: the property is in Council Tax Band H (very expensive) and has an EPC rating of D. It sits in an area recorded as very deprived, which may affect resale perception despite the strong local amenities and good commuter links (train to Edinburgh, A1). Mobile signal is average, though broadband speeds are fast. Overall the house is well maintained externally but, given age and size, buyers should expect some ongoing maintenance and potential cosmetic updating internally to suit modern tastes.
