Description

***£41,000 BELOW HOME REPORT*** 3 Cheylesmore forms part of the recently converted and restored former Cheylesmore Lodge, a particularly fine and very large detached house situated on an elevated site in a very quiet location within easy walking distance of North Berwick town centre and within a secure gated development. Cheylesmore is accessed by a private road through substantial secure entrance gates to a sweeping driveway which leads to the front and side of the building. To the front of the property there is an area of driveway with private parking and to the side and rear are sunny south facing private gardens. The property itself has been comprehensively refurbished both externally and internally including complete overhaul and recovering of the roof, new wiring, plumbing, heating system, kitchen, bathrooms, decoration and floor coverings. A full specification is detailed below. Internally the property has been stylishly and sympathetically finished resulting in a superb combination of contemporary finishes and period features within the building. The main entrance to the house is by an attractive porch which is glazed to the front above dado level and having a glazed inner door to a wide and welcoming hall. The fine drawing room has glazed double doors facing south opening to the garden and also two further windows on the same elevation, oak floor and original period mantelpiece with remote control living flame gas fire. The spacious kitchen/dining room also has glazed double doors facing south opening to the garden and an extensive range of hand crafted units with solid oak doors (many hand painted) and solid worktops. Appliances are by Siemens and include an integrated dishwasher, double oven, 5-burner gas hob and American fridge/freezer. The flooring in the kitchen is Travertine and there is ample space for a dining table. The separate dining room has a quadruple window with a leafy outlook to the front of the house and original period mantelpiece with remote control living flame gas fire. The utility room has a further range of fitted units with washing machine and tumble dryer included (also by Siemens). There is a shower room with Travertine tiled flooring and shower area, WC and wash hand basin. The ground floor accommodation is completed by double bedroom 5 which has windows on two elevations. A fantastic hand crafted oak staircase leads to the upper floor which has a very bright open landing with three windows facing east having a view to the sea and a large cupola above. Off the landing is a large walk in storage cupboard housing the gas central heating boiler and hot water storage tank. Double bedroom 2 has a large window facing south overlooking the garden with views to the hills beyond, and a door to the superb fully tiled en-suite bathroom with large shower, WC and wash hand basin with vanity unit underneath. Double bedroom 3 has a particularly large triple window with a leafy outlook to the front and double bedroom 4 has a triple window facing south. The fully tiled family bathroom has a velux window providing natural light, bath with tiled surround and shower above, WC and wash hand basin with vanity unit beneath. From the first floor landing a further short staircase leads to the master bedroom suite with fine period mantelpiece and a quadruple window with views to the Firth of Forth and Fife and beyond. A door opens to the fully tiled en-suite shower room with WC and wash hand basin with vanity unit underneath.
