Location North Berwick is a highly regarded coastal town on the Firth of Forth and has been consistently voted one of the best places to live in both and the wider UK. It has magnificent sandy beaches, excellent golf courses, water sports facilities and benefits from a good range of local shopping, schools and a railway station.

St Aidans is close to the beach and the famous West Links golf course, on the western periphery of the town. Its quiet secluded setting, accessed from Abbotsford Road, offers a secure and family friendly environment.

It is extremely well placed for the commuter, with good access to Edinburgh by train and by road via the A198 and A1.

There is an excellent primary school within the town, and the local secondary school, North Berwick High School, has continually been included in the top ranked state schools throughout the UK, also appearing in Tatler magazine’s top schools for 2018. All the fee paying schools in Edinburgh are within easy reach. Description St Aidans is a magnificent detached Victorian house which occupies a quite superb position overlooking North Berwick’s West Links, the Firth of Forth and .

The house, which dates from 1899, has been substantially renovated and enjoys excellent family accommodation arranged over ground, first and second floors. The views from the ground floor accommodation are fabulous, in particular from the open plan dining room, family room and sitting room. The superb kitchen benefits from a four oven Aga (cream) with a further electric hob. There is a polished granite work surface throughout, a wood burning stove and two integrated fridges and freezers.

The first floor accommodation also benefits from the wonderful views overlooking the West Links and Firth of Forth. The original drawing room has an Adam style fireplace and far reaching views from the bay window. The master bedroom with en suite bathroom, three further bedrooms and two bathrooms are also on this floor.

The second floor accommodation comprises two bedrooms with en suite bathrooms, is quite separate and can be used by guests and accessed via the secondary staircase.

The windows throughout the property have been upgraded by Ventrolla. Outside St Aidans is approached through electric front gates by a tarmac drive which leads to a parking and turning area to the west of the house where a double garage with electric up and over door is located. The garden to the front slopes away from the house and has a terraced lawn. The garden is planted with a number of plants and shrubs including laburnum, buddleia, hazel and holly. At the back of the house there are two tiered lawns, the upper of which has access from the side lane.

The owners of St Aidans have a right of access across the West Links to the beach, via a private gate located approximately 100 yards from the house
