25 Preston Cross Cottages is a delightful end-terrace two-bedroom cottage situated in the small East Lothian fishing town of Prestonpans. It has an enviable location within the town, as it faces the historic Preston Tower with its laburnum arch, herb garden, and lectern-style doocot, while backing onto a peaceful, well-managed central green. Currently the accommodation is solely on the ground floor, but there is the potential, subject to planning approval, to sensibly extend into the attic space; this precedent has already been set in the street.

Set behind a stone wall, with a very neat small front and side garden, with a flag stone path and planted, for the most part, with shrubs, the cottage has yellow harling and a red clay pantile roof and is, therefore, very redolent of East Lothian.

The front door opens into the naturally lit hall that has a large built-in cupboard and offers access to all rooms. The bright living room is west facing and looks towards Preston Tower and has a built-in cupboard and a fire place that is home to a gas fire with combined back boiler. The kitchen is to the back of the cottage, large enough to dine in and overlooks the central green. The wall that it shares with the hall is glass panelled, as is the door that opens into it. There are both floor and wall mounted storage units, work surfaces with tiled splash backs and a full complement of services for the connection of appliances.

There is a comfortable double bedroom and a second smaller one. The naturally lit, partially tiled bathroom has a tiled floor and modern white three-piece suite and the bath has a shower tap. The accommodation is completed by the attic that has the potential to be developed.

The cottage is double glazed and has gas central heating and there is convenient unrestricted parking.

As this is an Executry Sale no Warranty is made in relation to the working condition of any systems, services or appliances.

Area:
Prestonpans is a small East Lothian fishing town on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth, situated approximately ten miles east of Edinburgh. It is, therefore ideally suited for commuting and has its own railway station providing a frequent link to Edinburgh Waverley (15-minute journey) and the country's railway network. The A1 and city by-pass are on the outskirts of the town and provide excellent road links to Edinburgh (25-minute journey), the south and the central belt.

Locally, it is amenity rich, including supermarkets and small shops providing all the daily requirements as well as all the usual banking, building society and Post Office services. For larger scale shopping Fort Kinnaird is a short drive away by car. The town has two primary schools, Preston Tower Primary School and St. Gabriel's and Preston Lodge High School for secondary education.

The Mercat Gait Centre is based in the town and is home to a fantastic 25 metre, 6 lane competition swimming pool. The seaside villages and towns of Longniddry, Aberlady, Gullane, North Berwick and Dunbar, with their golf courses and sandy beaches, are all accessible via the scenic drive down the beautiful East Lothian Golf Coast. Prestonpans also has the popular and famous Royal Musselburgh Golf Club, the sixth-oldest golf club in the world and still hosts The Old Club Cup, the world's oldest golfing trophy still being played for.

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted

    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
