Thornly is a detached bungalow, occupying an elevated and breathtaking position above Thorntonloch Beach, commanding exceptional views across the East Lothian and Berwickshire coastline and countryside. A must see property for those seeking an exclusive coastal lifestyle. The property enjoys a remarkable setting, with uninterrupted sea views to the rear and an attractive outlook across its gardens to the front.

Extending to approximately 2,500 square feet, Thornly offers spacious and well-balanced accommodation arranged over a single storey. The house retains a wealth of character and charm, including a striking fireplace within the principal sitting room, as well as a log-burner in the kitchen. The property offers an exciting opportunity for a future owner to adapt and personalise the accommodation, subject to necessary planning permission.

The reception spaces are a focal point of the house, with the triple aspect principal sitting room benefitting from a double-height ceiling, and French doors that open onto a gravel terrace overlooking the garden and coastline. Double doors provide a graceful transition into the adjoining dining rooms providing more entertaining space and are complemented by French doors opening onto the terrace. The spacious kitchen is accessed from both dining room and the hallway and is flooded with natural light from wall-to-wall windows overlooking the sea. The breakfast bar in the centre divides the kitchen creating an informal entertaining area and houses a multi-fuel Hunter stove. A bright sun room to the front of the house offers panoramic south-westerly views across the front garden, and provides another reception area, from which to enjoy the property’s peaceful setting.

The main hall is accessed from the sunroom and provides access to a generous cloak cupboard and a hot water tank. Two additional walk-in cupboards and a commodious linen cupboard bolster this fantastic storage, and are located along the hallway leading to the bedrooms. The principal bedroom with built in mirrored wardrobes enjoys a peaceful position and benefits from an en suite with underfloor heating and French windows looking out onto the coast, letting in an abundance of light. Two further bedrooms, one with a built-in wardrobe, also enjoy views of the garden and the sea, served by a well-appointed family bathroom with underfloor heating. The guest cloakroom is accessed from the hallway, as is the utility room with fitted units and white goods and secondary access to the front of the property. A large loft is accessed from the hallway via a ramsay ladder.

Throughout, Thornly is characterised by an abundance of natural light, and generous proportions, with all rooms enjoying an attractive outlook, whether it be across open gardens, or out towards the dramatic coastal scenery.

Additionally, a detached double garage measuring approx. 7.09m x 6.10m, a cats house and woodstore are positioned to the west of the property. The sizeable drives provides generous parking.
