Description

Ugstonrigg Cottage is a wonderful family home with an exceptional rural setting just outside Haddington. The original part of the house dates from around the 1700s and has been extended in recent years, creating modern, bright, open plan living spaces. The house has a welcoming entrance hallway on the east side of the house which acts as a link to the two wings of the property. The kitchen / dining room is open plan and located at the heart of the house. The kitchen is fitted with traditionally styled units and has a central island with breakfast bar. Thanks to the partially glazed ceiling and sliding doors the room is extremely bright and the views over the garden are first class. Appliances include a double oven Rangemaster with extractor fan above, an American style fridge freezer and dishwasher. The kitchen also has a large walk in pantry which provides plenty of storage. Adjacent to the kitchen is a south facing sitting room with bay window and gas fire which provides a more formal setting for entertaining.

The east wing is accessed from the central vestibule and on the ground floor there are two bedrooms, a bathroom and family room, all of which face south. At first floor level are a further two bedrooms, one of which has an en suite shower room and a dressing area. The second bedroom sits next to a shower room. The north wing is accessed from the kitchen and there are a further three bedrooms and a bathroom. In addition, there is a utility room and second vestibule.

The grounds which surround Ugstonrigg Cottage extend to around 0.6 acres and are incredibly private. To the north and east is a spacious driveway with parking, which is accessed through a set of wrought iron gates. The garage is accessed from here and there is a large lawn surrounded by a well-stocked colourful border. To the south and west of the house is a further area of lawn and a patio where outdoor dining can be enjoyed. The patio is adjacent to the kitchen and has fabulous views over the surrounding fields to the Lammermuir Hills.
