About this property

  • East Preston Lodge is a fantastic property situated in a Listed Victorian building in Prestonpans. The building stands on the corner of Preston Road and Station Road and is dated 1844. Rich in character, the property displays intricate detailing such as decorative ironwork around the roof line and fine stonework. The accommodation is over two levels with the front door being accessed by a short flight of steps. Upon entering the house there is a good sized hallway with the kitchen just off to the left. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall mounted units with a tiled worktop and splashback. The kitchen has space for a dining table and there is a loft above. Also on the ground floor is a double aspect sitting room with a wood burning stove. The accommodation on this level is completed by a bathroom, double bedroom and home office with boiler room located off.

    The stairs rise to the first floor where there is a window at the half landing point. There is a second bedroom on this level and a drawing room, the latter located in the tower with triple aspect views to Edinburgh and also to Fife over the Firth of Forth. The drawing room is a peaceful and bright space with a gas fireplace with marble mantelpiece.

    Outside there is a well kept walled garden with colourful flower beds around a generously sized lawn. The garden gets the sun throughout the day and there is a greenhouse and garden shed. Closer to the house is the main gate and there is a paved area by the stairs which lead up to the property.
