Garden There are superb well maintained gardens to the front and both sides of the property. The driveway has block paving and gives access to the double garage which has an office above.

Whitekirk is a beautiful unspoilt village situated in the heart of the East Lothian countryside Fixtures and Fittings The carpets, blinds and light fittings throughout are included in the sale price together with the cooker hood, range cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge, separate fridge/freezer in utility room and Wendy house and wood store. The bookcase in the drawing room may be available by negotiation.
Services There is a biomass boiler which provides both heating and hot water to the property. The Biotech biomass generates Renewable Heat Incentive tax free payments of approximately £2,500 per quarter which are index linked for the next 5 years and payable to the property owner. The fully automated biomass boiler system is housed in the garage along with the water tank and the hopper for the wood pellets it burns. The pellets are delivered directly into the hopper every 8-12 weeks, depending on seasonal usage, and these cost about £2,500 per year. Therefore, over the next 5 years, there will be a net profit (not cost) of approximately £35,000 for running the biomass boiler to provide both heat and hot water to the property. LPG serves the cooker.
