Dating from around 1910, Meadowside is an impressive detached house occupying a peaceful position on the edge of North Berwick, a short distance from North Berwick West Links golf course and the coast. Extending to over 4,700 square feet, the house offers generous and flexible accommodation, combining period character with modern convenience.

An entrance vestibule with stained glass opens into a reception hall with original timber panelling. The ground floor provides well-balanced living and entertaining space with two spacious reception rooms including a dual-aspect drawing and dining room with timber panelling and a bright sitting room with a large bay window, both featuring working fireplaces. The kitchen dining room forms the hub of the house, designed by Christopher Howard with granite work surfaces, a central island and a gas and electric four-oven Aga. There is ample space for dining, with direct access to the garden. The adjoining former butler’s pantry has been converted into a bar, with a serving hatch to the drawing room. A conservatory by Mozolowski & Murray creates a light-filled extension to the living space, opening onto the garden. Also on this floor are a study or seventh bedroom, a utility room, a bathroom and two shower rooms.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom includes a decorative fireplace, a Juliet balcony overlooking the garden, an en-suite bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower and a large dressing room with built-in storage. Four further double bedrooms, all retaining period features, are served by a contemporary, tiled family bathroom with a bath, a shower, WC and wash hand basin.

This property has 0.64 acres of land.
