Bayview, Coldingham

As the name suggests, this fine detached bungalow commands superb elevated views as far as the eye can see over Coldingham and to The Bay in the distance. Located just outside the village and occupying an extensive plot, Bayview presents a rare opportunity for those seeking a home by the sea which also benefits from good road and local rail connections to Edinburgh and The South. The bungalow also offers exciting opportunities for a purchaser to make their own changes if required; the current configuration works very well and would suit families and retires alike, however there are various opportunities for further extension. The original design of the property was forward thinking to allow for future expansion and includes an extensive partially converted floored attic; fully lined, insulated, fitted with a velux window and heating this space is prime for development and further conversion.

The property was built on a double sized plot to allow for a large area of garden and with the house located towards the front of the plot, the extensive and completely private garden extends largely to the rear – a fantastic prospect for a gardening enthusiast or those looking to create an impressive family friendly space.
