End terrace house for sale in 3 Longnewton Cottages, Longnewton, Gifford, East Lothian EH41

Arranged over three floors, this period end-terrace house offers a charming combination of traditional architecture and stylish modern interiors, providing versatile configurations for 3/4 double bedrooms and 2/1 reception rooms. The home features a quality kitchen and bathroom, and it boasts a south-facing rear garden, as well as uninterrupted countryside views stretching all the way to the sea. Part of a small hamlet near the village of Gifford, it has a breathtaking rural location too, bounded by open countryside and rolling hills. It offers a true sense of peace and seclusion, yet it is also within easy reach of Gifford village and the town of Haddington, where you can enjoy excellent shopping facilities and well-regarded schools. East Lothian's stunning coastline can be reached in a 30 minutes' drive and Edinburgh city centre is just roughly 45 minutes by car as well.

Set amongst a scenic rural backdrop, the property captivates from the outset, especially with its colourful frontage and symmetrical architecture. Stepping inside, a hall continues the appeal, enjoying four-panel wooden doors to the main accommodation, as well as white decor and an oak wood floor (which is maintained in the two reception rooms).

The heart of the home is the living room. This bright and spacious reception area is characterised by a blank canvas of decor, highlighted by an olive-toned feature wall – effective styling which enhances a relaxed atmosphere. There is plenty of room for comfy lounge furniture and a table and chairs; plus, dual-aspect glazing provides inspiring country views to the front and French doors to the south-facing rear, which open out into the garden – perfect for families. Completing the space is a multi-fuel stove framed by an ornate mantelpiece.

On the opposite side of the hall from the living area, there is a second reception room, pairing a neutral backdrop with slate-grey accent walls. Currently organised as a home office, this space offers fantastic versatility, and it can be used as a formal dining room or even a fourth bedroom (if required). It comes with built-in storage and a period open fireplace with a handsome surround.

The kitchen has a popular design, incorporating a generous range of base and wall-mounted cabinets, alongside ample worksurfaces which seamlessly blend with the matching splashback panels. It has a bright, south-facing aspect and lovely rear garden views as well. Furthermore, it comes with a foldable fitted breakfast bar for quick meals and a selection of integrated and freestanding appliances.

Offering spacious proportions and modern styling, the three double bedrooms all adhere to the high standards of the property. The principal bedroom is on the second floor, enjoying built-in storage and dual-aspect Velux windows for an airy ambience. Additional built-in storage and access to eaves storage is also adjacent to this space. The second bedroom (with built-in storage) and the third bedroom are both on the first floor, off a naturally-lit landing that allows extra light to flow throughout the home. Ensuring maximum comfort and a peaceful night's sleep, all three rooms are laid with fitted carpets too. Plus, they provide wonderful elevated views over the East Lothian countryside, stretching to the distant sea.

The bathroom is set on the first floor, decorated in crisp white and with premium tile work. It is equipped with a modern three-piece suite, comprised of a hidden-cistern toilet, a washbasin set into counterspace, a large fitted mirror, a towel radiator, and a curved bathtub with an overhead shower.

The fully-enclosed rear garden provides a magical setting for the entire family. It is carefully landscaped and tiered, creating unique garden sections that end with a wonderful panoramic view over the countryside. It includes a neat patio area for summer dining, well-maintained lawns, and mature planting. Furthermore, it boasts excellent privacy and a south-facing aspect, capturing sun throughout the entire day. Off-street parking for two cars is provided in front of the house via a communal driveway shared by the few neighbours. There is also a communal parking area at the end of the row as well.
