Description
The Smiddy is an attractive semi-detached stone built cottage situated in a wonderful quiet location close to North Berwick. The cottage has a lovely setting on the edge of fields and faces south to the Lammermuir Hills as well as north and east over the surrounding land to Tantallan Castle and the Bass Rock.
The grounds are entered through a secure gate where there is a front garden and path to a vestibule on the south side of the house. Beyond the vestibule is a hallway with doors off to the bedroom, family bathroom and sitting room. The sitting room is double aspect and has a lovely outlook as well as a wood burning stove which provides warmth in the winter months. Beyond this is a large double height kitchen with space for a dining table and there are a range of traditionally styled units with timber worktops and appliances which include a dishwasher and cooker with extractor fan above. There is a door here out to the garden as well as an east facing window.
There are three bedrooms at the Smiddy, with two on the first floor. The first floor bedrooms face south and get sun throughout much of the day as well as wonderful views towards the Lammermuirs. There is a further bedroom on the ground floor with an en suite shower room, and the ground floor accommodation is completed with a family bathroom. All of the bedrooms benefit from built in wardrobes and can fit a double bed.
The garden to The Smiddy is accessed from both the ground floor bedroom and kitchen and there is a gate onto the side lane. The garden is mainly laid to lawn and catches the sun throughout the day. There are a range of colourful flower beds and a patio where outdoor dining can be enjoyed.
Location
The Smiddy is situated on the eastern side of the much sought-after town of North Berwick in a wonderful rural location surrounded by rolling fields with views towards Tantallon Castle and the Bass Rock. The house has great proximity to all of the East Lothian villages and has access to golf courses, unspoilt beaches, private and public leisure centres, shops and a working harbour, all within 2 miles of the property. North Berwick’s own golf courses include West Links Golf Course and the Glen Golf Course and a few miles away there is the renowned Muirfield golf club which regularly hosts the Open Championship. The Renaissance Club and Archerfield Links are also easily accessible.
North Berwick has become a thriving town with a reputation of having everything you need on the doorstep. The high street boasts a fantastic range of shops including a family run butcher, a delicatessen, independent wine merchant, two supermarkets, cafés, florist and a bakery. In the summer it hosts Fringe by the Sea which is part of the Edinburgh Festival, bringing artists and authors to the town. It has a recently expanded primary school and North Berwick High School consistently makes the Top 20 in The Sunday Times secondary school league tables in Scotland. There are also good transport links to private schools both in East Lothian and Edinburgh.
North Berwick train station offers services into Edinburgh, taking approximately half an hour, while bus routes run to both Edinburgh and Dunbar.

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
