SITUATION
Tyninghame is one of East Lothian’s most picturesque and desirable villages, renowned for its traditional architecture, attractive village setting and surrounding countryside. The village lies within the Tyninghame Conservation Area and is characterised by its handsome stone and harled properties, mature trees and an appealing sense of privacy and enclosure.
2 Tyninghame Mains is incredibly well placed for access to the wider East Lothian coastline and countryside. Tyninghame Links, also known as Ravensheugh Sands, is nearby and provides access to an outstanding sandy beach backed by woodland, with dramatic views towards the Bass Rock in the North. The village itself benefits from a strong local identity, with Tyninghame Smithy providing a popular café and local destination, while East Linton, Dunbar and North Berwick offer a wider range of day-to-day services, shops, schools, restaurants, leisure facilities and rail connections.
Schooling is well catered for in the surrounding area, with primary provision available in nearby East Linton and secondary schooling in Dunbar and Haddington, including Dunbar Grammar School and Knox Academy. Belhaven Hill School, a well-regarded independent preparatory school, lies on the outskirts of Dunbar, while Edinburgh offers a wide choice of independent schools, with transport options available for pupils travelling from East Lothian.
East Linton has recently benefitted from the reopening of its railway station, providing convenient access
to Edinburgh and the wider rail network. Dunbar and North Berwick also offer rail services, supermarkets
and a broad range of amenities. Edinburgh is within commuting distance and provides a full range of
cultural, educational, retail and professional services, together with Edinburgh Airport to the west of the
city.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
2 Tyninghame Mains is an impressive steading conversion of stone construction beneath a traditional pantile roof. The property forms part of an attractive courtyard setting which is occupied by three other properties. The property presents as a substantial family home of considerable character, combining the scale and proportions of a traditional rural building with the comfort and practicality of modern residential accommodation.
Internally, the accommodation is arranged over two floors and extends to approximately 308 sq m. The house has a generous and flexible layout, with two main reception rooms, a kitchen, utility room, garage and two ground floor bedrooms, together with four further bedrooms at first floor level. Traditional features are retained throughout. Including timber framed double glazed windows.
The accommodation is arranged over two storeys, as detailed in the
accompanying floor plans:
• Ground Floor: Entrance hall; Living room; Utility; Kitchen/Dining Room; Drawing Room; WC and Two Bedrooms.
• First Floor: Principal Bedroom with en-suite and Dressing Room; three further Double Bedrooms; Bathroom, and Shower Room.
GARDENS AND GROUNDS
The property benefits from two sheltered and enclosed gardens, referred to as the Kitchen Garden and the Japanese Garden, both of which have been thoughtfully designed to create attractive, private and usable outdoor spaces. The gardens include mature planting, stone boundary walls and sheltered seating areas which are commensurate with the traditional stone elevations of the house.
To the front, private parking is provided within the shared courtyard setting, with the property also benefiting from an attached single garage. The arrangement provides practical off-street parking while retaining the character and visual appeal of the former steading courtyard.
