Saltcoats Steading, Saltcoats Road, Gullane, East Lothian

This charming former barn has been sensitively converted into a spacious and versatile property offering almost 3,000 sq. ft. of light-filled and flexible accommodation arranged over two airy floors. It enjoys beautifully restored stonework and crow-stepped gables, along with a range of internal character features seamlessly intertwined with sleek contemporary elements.

Thick wooden double doors surrounded by frosted glazed panels offer a bright entrance into the space, with a useful store, boiler room and cloakroom. The space flows naturally through part-glazed double doors into the lofty vaulted accommodation, starting with the 41 ft. open-plan sitting room, kitchen and dining area. There are exposed timber supports, a range of stylish modern wall and base cabinetry and worksurfaces, a large central island with inset sink and a range of deluxe integrated appliances. Sociable dining and entertaining can be enjoyed with garden views via the wide sliding glazed doors. Adjacent is a well-appointed utility room and handy boot room. Further is a sliding barn-style door leading into the expansive drawing room/study, with its double-height ceiling, glossy downstairs shower room and turned stairway to the first-floor level. The large drawing room/study offers versatility of use and would lend itself to being split into two smaller rooms should the open space not be required.

Completing the ground floor is the luxurious principal suite, which opens via French doors to the garden and features a large, dedicated dressing room, further walk through dressing room and two en suite bathrooms. The galleried first floor comprises another well-proportioned and adaptable bedroom space.

Parking for several vehicles is available via the gravelled driveway beside the property, which is largely enclosed via handsome stone walls with a backdrop of lush mature trees. With a further brick laid driveway and enclosed car port. Dual wooden gates open to the pretty courtyard, which features a stepped brick-laid private terrace beside the home followed by a gravelled area, offering the ideal spot for al fresco dining. Leading up to the side entrance is an additional block paved patio.
