Detached house for sale in St. Abbs Road, Coldingham TD14

A rare opportunity to purchase a magnificent Edwardian Arts and Crafts house, which has stunning period features. The Arts and Crafts Movement promoted the appreciation for the handmade in retaliation to the mass production in the Victorian era, which is evident throughout this wonderful family home. Characteristics of the movement stand out from the onset which include features like the covered porch with timber frame, mock-Tudor timbers to gables, stained glass, bay windows and casement crafted timber windows with inset arches. Internally the period features include a fabulous inglenook fireplace with banquette seating to each side of the hearth, crafted design balusters, with the real Nouveau style organic designs coming through on the brass doorplates and the cast iron fireplaces. This stunning home has been sympathetically upgraded without losing any of its charm to include electric heating, multi-fuel stove in the cosy breakfast room overlooking the rear garden, fitted utility room, office space and has some double-glazed units to the rear. Viewing is highly recommended to appreciate this distinctive property.
