Located on the iconic King's Road, Rohallion is a 1952 detached home with a quiet, enduring presence, set within an impressive plot of just under half an acre. Long established within this tree-lined stretch of Longniddry, the house holds a gentle mid-century charm that is increasingly rare to find.
A bright front porch leads into a welcoming hallway that forms the heart of the ground floor. To the rear, the southwest-facing living room enjoys natural light throughout the day and opens through patio doors to the garden. The kitchen also looks over the rear grounds, and the layout is completed by a convenient WC and direct access to the integrated garage. To the front, the dual-aspect dining room offers an airy, balanced space ideal for everyday use or gatherings.
Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms sit around the landing, each with its own outlook across the established surroundings. A family bathroom, a deep storage cupboard, and attic access complete the upper level, lending the home a traditional and practical layout ready to evolve with a new owner's plans.
The grounds are a standout feature. A long private driveway guides you towards the house, with mature hedging and trees giving the frontage a feeling of privacy and permanence. To the sides, a car port, greenhouse, and a large storage unit offer excellent functional space, all framed by stretches of lawn.
The southeast-facing rear garden feels especially timeless. An established orchard, several mature trees, a vegetable patch, and climbing plants create a setting rarely offered in modern homes. The scale and seclusion of the garden invite a sense of possibility, whether for gentle landscaping or more ambitious ideas.
Heating is provided by a wood-burning stove in the living room and an oil-fired range in the kitchen, with hot water supplied by an immersion heater in the attic.
While the property would now benefit from modernisation, Rohallion presents a genuinely rare opportunity: a home with character, history, and a remarkable plot, offering scope to reshape or extend it into something truly exceptional, subject to consents.

With convenient rail links into Edinburgh, the village is ideal for commuters and families, with many local children also travelling by train to schools in the city.
