Located in the heart of the East Lothian countryside, the Garden Wing is an impressive three bedroom main door apartment forming part of an exceptional Georgian A Listed Old Mansion House at Newbyth. The magnificent building, built in 1817 for General Sir David Baird, has a gothic inspired design, well maintained shared garden grounds and open rural views. Internally, the property offers particularly bright and elegant accommodation combined with a host of period features and the additional benefit of two detached garages and further parking available on the gravel driveway to the front of the property.
The generously proportioned and versatile accommodation is beautifully presented throughout and comprises; a welcoming entrance hall; stunning bow ended sitting room with a circular cupola, an original fireplace inset with wood burning stove, French doors opening to a private terrace overlooking the garden grounds and access to a study/double bedroom 4 with generous storage in the tower room above; dining room leading to a charming kitchen fitted with a good range of base and wall mounted units and all integrated appliances; principal bedroom with a Jack and Jill en-suite bathroom with a door leading to the spacious hallway; two further double bedrooms; an additional shower room; and useful utility room.
The proprietors within the Old Mansion House share equally the communal grounds which surround the mansion house and a greenhouse. There is a Residents Association set up to cover all maintenance for the property as a whole. A monthly payment of £120 is currently being contributed by each of the apartments (7 in total). Building insurance is separate from this and is calculated in relation to the square footage and rateable values of each apartment, with the Garden Wing’s share being 18%. Garden expenses are split in equal 1/7ths.
