DESCRIPTION: West Lodge was formerly a gate lodge for Seacliff House, a 16th century house which has stood in ruin since 1907. The stone gate posts to the house remain in the garden of West Lodge. The present owners have comprehensively refurbished the house, adding a significant extension to create a substantial contemporary family home. The property is constructed of a mixture of stone and harled elevations beneath a predominantly slate roof and the layout has been designed for modern living. A solid timber door opens to an entrance vestibule with beautiful solid oak flooring that continues into an impressive u-shaped reception hall with a roof light and twin sash windows. Double doors open to the bright and beautifully proportioned drawing room which features two recessed book shelves and a wood burning stove and is flooded with natural light via a large south facing arched window to the front, two west facing windows and a door to the garden. The breakfasting kitchen forms the hub of the house with direct access to the garden and open plan access to a bright sitting room which also overlooks and has direct access to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with solid oak flooring, timber work surfaces and a good range of units, including display cabinets and wine racks. Appliances include an oven and grill, a microwave, dishwasher and an electric hob with an extractor hood over. A separate utility room is finished in the same style as the kitchen and has plumbing for a washing machine, space for a tumble dryer, excellent storage and a door outside. All four double bedrooms benefit from built in wardrobes and overlook the garden to the rear. The master bedroom is a generously proportioned room with a 4-piece en-suite bathroom and walk-in wardrobe. The second double bedroom benefits from an en-suite shower room and two built in wardrobes and bedrooms 3 and 4 share the family bathroom. An additional WC completes the accommodation. Garden and Grounds: The property is approached via electric gates with key pad entry. The private entrance leads to a detached garage with a remote controlled electric door and to a parking area close to the house. The surrounding gardens are a real feature of the property and are a haven for wildlife. To the front of the house, a large south-west facing terrace provides a sheltered sun trap and leads to lawns bordered by herbaceous borders, flower beds, hedging and trees, including an established Staghorn Sumac tree. A delightful feature of the front garden is the sound of water from a large raised pond with a stone built water feature. The pond has been fenced to make it child friendly. To the side of the house further lawns are flanked by shrubs and to the rear is a wild meadow fringe flanked by hedging and fencing, with a border of mature beech, ash, oak and lime trees.

  • North Berwick Town Centre Strategy
    North Berwick Town Centre Strategy 2018 Supplementary Guidance to the East Lothian Local Development Plan 2018 1 NORTH BERWICK TOWN CENTRE STRATEGY 1.0 Purpose of the North Berwick Town Centre Strategy 1.1 The North Berwick Town Centre Strategy forms a part of the adopted East Lothian Local Plan 2018 (LDP). It is supplementary guidance focusing on the changes that the Local Development Plan is planning to the town of North Berwick and the implications of that change for the town centre. The LDP introduces new planning policies adopting the town centre first principle and has detailed planning polices for town centres to guide development. 1.2 The strategy looks in more detail than the LDP into the town centre. A health check of the town centre is provided, its strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats are considered and its performance as a place with coordinated actions for improvement and regeneration. 1.3 In addition to the LDP and its supporting documents, the town centre strategy draws on the work done by the North Berwick Town Centre Charrette in 2015 and takes account of the Council’s emerging Local Transport Strategy as well as relevant parts of the North Berwick Coastal Area Partnership Area Plan. It is a material consideration in the determination of planning applications that affect the town centre. 2.0 Policy Context Local Development Plan Policy for Town Centres 2.1 The adopted East Lothian Local Development Plan 2018 (LDP) promotes the Town Centre First Principle which requires that uses that would attract significant footfall must consider locating to a town or local centre first and then, sequentially, to an edge of centre location, other commercial centre or out of centre location.

  • Fenton Tower
    Fenton Tower A unique Scottish castle... Fenton Tower is a magnificent, fortified 16th-century tower located 18 miles east of Edinburgh near the coastal town of North Berwick. The castle’s location was originally chosen in the 11th Century because it afforded panoramic views in all directions and has had many distinguished visitors, among them being King James VI of Scotland (son of Mary Queen of Scots and Lord Darnley) who took refuge there as he fled from the rebel army in Fife across the Firth of Forth. The Tower has now been meticulously restored, and opened in 2002 to provide 5-star accommodation for up to 12 guests. Set amongst rolling countryside and surrounded by many of the worlds’ most famous golf courses (Muirfield, Gullane & North Berwick) Fenton Tower is the perfect base for a magnificent golfing experience. The location of the Tower makes it ideal for all kinds of country, sporting and recreational activities. Arrangements for parties of up to eight guns for Grouse, Partridge and Pheasant shooting, as well as fly fishing on the rivers Tweed and Tyne can be arranged. With horse riding, archery, and 5-star local attractions (including The National Museum of Flight, home to Concorde, and the Scottish Seabird Centre) all within a stones-throw of the Castle, your visit to East Lothian will be one you will want to repeat. ... an unforgettable welcome A visit to Fenton Tower, whether for one night, or one month, will never be forgotten. A warm Scottish welcome, simple luxury and comfortable surroundings await you, with our small, dedicated team there to guide, advise and facilitate your every requirement.
