Description
Glenfuir is an outstanding late Victorian property occupying what is arguably one of the very best locations in the much sought after town of North Berwick. Glenfuir has undergone a total refurbishment by the current owners who have transformed the property into an exceptionally impressive family home, which now displays an incredible standard of finish and a contemporary design element which contrasts beautifully with the 19th century bones of the house.
The accommodation begins with a fine reception hall with Spanish cherry Karndean flooring continued throughout the whole of the ground floor and a welcoming log burning stove along with a restful conservatory area which allows natural light to flood into the house. The heart of the home is the breathtaking dining/kitchen/living room. This extends to almost 50 feet in length and is dominated by the striking minimalist matt black kitchen cabinetry with long central island unit with breakfast bar. The kitchen is fitted with a range of appliances including 4 Siemens ovens and 2 warming drawers, 2 Liebherr wine fridges, 1 Liebherr fridge, 1 liebherr fridge freezer, a Gaggenhau gas and electric hob as well as a Gaggenhau electric teppanyaki hob. There is a bright dining area in the bay window and a seating area with a woodburner. The sitting room is similarly generously proportioned and is a light and inviting space with a contemporary inset woodburning stove, windows on three sides and French doors out to the garden. Further living and entertaining space is found in the billiards room which has a large fitted bar and wall-mounted TV. An extension to Glenfuir houses the home gym which has full height glazing on one side.
The elegant staircase leads up to the first floor where there are three bedrooms, all en suite, including the fabulous principal suite which comprises a double bedroom with dressing room featuring floor to ceiling wardrobes and a freestanding bath, along with a luxurious shower room with oversized walk in shower. A further bedroom with en suite shower room is found on the second floor.
Outside, a substantial paved terrace is the perfect place for alfresco drinks and enjoying the summer months, with steps down to the expanse of smooth lawn bordered by mature trees which provide great privacy. There is plenty of parking on the driveway.
Location
Glenfuir forms the western half of a substantial mansion house which was divided into two impressive homes over 60 years ago. The property has a wonderful seaside setting in the centre of the popular town of North Berwick and is just a few minutes’ walk from the beach and West Links golf course.
Situated on the coast of East Lothian, North Berwick has been consistently voted one of the best places to live in both Scotland and the wider UK. It is a highly scenic coastal town, overlooking the Firth of Forth with spectacular views over to Fife and the Bass Rock. The town boasts magnificent sandy beaches, all based around the vibrant town centre which has a good range of local shopping, restaurants, services and schools. North Berwick High School is highly regarded and there are excellent commuter connections to Edinburgh from North Berwick train station (around 26 minutes).
The city of Edinburgh and its airport are 26 miles and 34 miles respectively.
North Berwick is part of East Lothian’s famous 'Golf Coast' and is renowned for its golf courses. These include North Berwick West Links Golf Course and The Glen in the town itself. Other courses include Muirfield, The Renaissance Club (both regular hosts of the Scottish Open), two courses at Archerfield and three at Gullane (5 miles) and Luffness.
