The property is accessed off a tree-lined driveway with a large tarmac private parking area to the front of the house. The impressive A-listed house has been split into seven apartments with access through the front door into a communal entrance hallway. A staircase leads us to Apartment 4 on the first floor.

Extending to over 4,200ft of accommodation, the apartment has been fully renovated by the current owners to provide exceptional accommodation for modern living set over two storeys. The property has retained many period features throughout including ornate cornicing, sash-and-case windows and open fireplaces in the reception rooms.

On entering the apartment there is a spacious vestibule with doors off to the sitting room and snug. The snug has fitted bookshelves and could alternatively be used as a fourth bedroom. The sitting room with open fire place has wonderful views overlooking the gardens. The large kitchen which was installed by Murray & Murray has a double aspect with dining table and central island with a polished Scottish slate work top. There is an electric oven, hob and drinks fridge under the island. The cabinetry is all solid oak with integrated appliances including an electric 4-door aga, dishwasher and fridge freezer.

Beyond the kitchen is a centrally located hallway and stair. Immediately off this there is the utility room and W.C. Also accessed off the hallway is the magnificent southeast facing balcony which is the perfect outdoor space for dining and entertaining. The dining room is also off the central hall and has an impressive fireplace, views over the tree-lined avenue with designer silk lined walls.

The principal bedroom is located beyond the dining room and has an elegant bathroom adjacent complete with roll top bath, separate shower and open fireplace. Stairs lead up to the second floor with two further bedrooms and a shower room. The larger of the bedroom is fitted with bespoke bunk beds from Ogilvies of Haddington complete with dressing room.

The central staircase also gives access to the ground floor with wine cellar and door out to the gardens via a shared hallway.

Gardens
The 16 acres of policies at Whittingehame are owned and maintained by the Principal Apartment. All of the proprietors have access to these grounds which include beautifully maintained parkland, vast rolling lawns lined by mature mixed woodland and including a commemorative oak planted by King Edward VII. The south of the house are private to the Principal Apartment.


Whittingehame House is situated in the heart of East Lothian, just 3 miles outside the attractive village of East Linton. Surrounded by lush historic woodlands and the Whittingehame Water, meandering through unspoilt countryside, the immediate area offers magnificent walks and wildlife. Whilst in a secluded position, the A1 is close by and provides swift dual-carriageway access to Edinburgh city centre (forty minute-drive) and the south. The new train station at East Linton which will form part of East coast main line next year, will provide regular fast services to Edinburgh, Newcastle and on to London. The nearest train station currently is at Dunbar (7½ miles). The conservation village of Stenton is 1½ miles away and includes a primary school, church, bowling club and village hall.

    Broadband availability and predicted speed

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
