Description
Upper Flat, Walford House is a fantastic property situated directly on the coast with outstanding views to Fife with wonderful sunrises and sunsets. Occupying the first and second floors of this C Listed 18th century mansion house, the property is rich in character, with period features including decorative cornicing, timber sash and case windows, working shutters, timber flooring and original fireplaces. The accommodation is reached from a stone porch at the southerly side of the building. From the porch an inner hall is fitted with two cloak cupboards alongside the original curved stone staircase that rises to the first floor. The main living accommodation is located off the central corridor, with the large drawing room a central feature with full height sash and case windows offering breathtaking views to the sea, beautiful proportions and original details including intricate plasterwork, timber flooring and large open fireplace. Adjacent, the dining room shares the stunning sea views and benefits from a solid fuel stove. The kitchen is located across from the reception rooms and benefits from its south facing aspect with views over the walled garden. There is a good range of bespoke wall and floor units alongside a larder, while an alcove provides space for a table and chairs. Appliances include a large range cooker, an integrated dishwasher and fridge freezer. The three bedrooms are located at the end of the corridor, with the generous principal room featuring a beautiful south-facing bow window with outlooks over the garden. The two additional bedrooms sit alongside and offer views to the coast and decorative fireplaces. The spacious traditionally styled bathroom with separate shower and bath completes the accommodation on the first floor.
There are three further rooms on the second floor including a utility room with plumbing, a store room and separate workshop with charming barrel vaulted room. An additional space is used as a study. This floor may have potential for conversion to further living accommodation, subject to the relevant planning consents.
Outside there is a shared patio and a large shared walled garden with colourful flowerbeds around a main lawn and several mature trees. The garden benefits from high walls giving shelter and a southerly aspect with sun throughout the day.
Location
Walford House is located in an enviable secluded location directly on the coast, in the historic district of Prestonpans, a small East Lothian town which has a notable collection of Listed buildings including Preston Tower and the Mercat Cross.
Lying just 10 miles east of Edinburgh, there are good local amenities as well as convenient rail and road links to the city. Services in Prestonpans include a supermarket, sports centre, GP practice, dentist, primary and secondary schools.
There is also a good choice of private schooling both in East Lothian and Edinburgh. The train station is within walking distance with regular services into Edinburgh which take between 13 and 16 minutes. Haddington is less than 9 miles away and has a wider range of shops and professional services. There is an excellent variety of spectacular golf courses in the region and picturesque beaches within easy reach. The coast is only 0.2 miles from the house and there are superb beaches at Longniddry, Gullane and North Berwick. Edinburgh Airport is approximately 20 miles by road and Dunbar has mainline railway connections to London.
