Description
The Penthouse at the Old Granary is situated on the third floor of the large historic harbourside converted granary building. The building was once used to store the grain cargo carried by boats from the harbour. Now fully renovated, the property is divided into eight apartments with the Penthouse taking the commanding position on the third floor with triple aspect views to the south, west and north. The building still has superb period features throughout including wonderful exposed stone work and outstanding water views across the harbour.
The communal front door opens into a central stairway where the Penthouse's private ground level store can be found. Ascending the light filled communal stairway to the top floor, each landing space has a picture window capturing the views over the harbour and towards Fife. The front door of The Penthouse opens into a spacious entrance hall with a fitted cloak cupboard and space to accommodate a full size chest of drawers and shoe rack. To the left a twin bedroom with its two windows and built in storage looks over the town and North Berwick Law. A recently renovated bathroom is next door with a shower over the bath, WC and wash hand basin. A second light-filled bathroom with shower over bath, WC and wash hand basin is situated alongside. In addition, a further double bedroom with integrated wardrobe and windows looking north sits off the entrance hallway. The accommodation off this hallway is completed with a separate linen store with hot water storage tank and access to the unfloored attic space.
Situated along the corridor from the main entrance hallway is a door into the spacious second hallway that leads into the open plan sitting and dining room. Here there is space for bookcases and the third double bedroom with built in storage is on the right. The main living area spans the width of the building, accommodating a separate sitting area, freestanding bar and baby grand piano (both available in addition) and finally a dining area with a triple aspect over the harbour, beach and town. The modern kitchen has space for a breakfasting table and includes an integrated fridge and freezer, hob and electric oven and also space for a dishwasher and washer/dryer. The kitchen has a large pantry allowing for plenty of storage out of sight from the main kitchen space.
Location
The Penthouse at the Old Granary has an enviable setting directly at the harbourside in North Berwick, only steps from the beach and a short walk to the High Street and the West Links golf course.
Situated on the East Lothian coast, North Berwick has been consistently voted one of the best places to live in both Scotland and the wider UK. It is a highly attractive seaside town, overlooking the Firth of Forth with spectacular views over to Fife and the Bass Rock.
The town boasts magnificent sandy beaches, excellent golf courses and water sports facilities, all based around the vibrant town centre which has a good range of local shopping, restaurants, services and schools. North Berwick High School is a great draw to the town and there is a well regarded primary school.
The Penthouse is perfectly placed for everything the town has to offer. It sits directly at the historic harbour with its access to water sports, sailing boats and the Scottish Seabird Centre which attracts both local and international visitors. Just a short stroll from the Old Granary finds both the East and West Bay beaches with uninterrupted views across the Firth of Forth and towards the Bass Rock. The apartment is well positioned to also access the West Links golf course only a short distance across the bay. All the shops, restaurants and pubs are close by and North Berwick railway station is a 10 minute walk with a 31 minute service to Edinburgh.
North Berwick is part of East Lothian’s famous 'Golf Coast' and is renowned for its golf courses. These include North Berwick West Links and The Glen in the town itself. Other courses include Muirfield, a regular host to The Open Championship, The Renaissance Club, two courses at Archerfield, three courses at Gullane and Luffness.
