3 SITUATION: Inveresk is a beautiful conservation village situated on the outskirts of Edinburgh near the fishing port of Musselburgh, adjoining the East Lothian countryside. Evidence of the Roman occupation of Southern Scotland can still be found within the village, which was gentrified by incoming Edinburgh merchants who built imposing mansion houses, most of whom remain in single family ownership and contribute to the unspoilt and peaceful ambience of the village. Nearby Musselburgh provides an excellent range of everyday shopping and professional services, as well as a swimming pool/leisure centre, a racecourse and Loretto School, a private co-educational day and boarding school. In addition, the shopping complex at nearby Fort Kinnard offers an extensive range of retail shops including a Marks & Spencer Store and Food Hall. The beach and golf courses of East Lothian are all easily accessible. Inveresk enjoys fast and easy road access to Edinburgh city centre (approx. 6 miles) and a commuter rail service is available from nearby Wallyford or Musselburgh. DESCRIPTION: The Inveresk Estate extends to approximately 13 acres standing in shared, landscaped parkland and accessed via electronic security gates. A stone pathway leads up to the house, through the immaculately tended grounds. A shallow flight of stone steps rise to a solid timber door, flanked by stone pillars and a well maintained shared hall provides access into the property at raised ground floor level. This floor is perfect for entertaining with a magnificent 36 foot drawing room, adjacent dining kitchen and cloakroom with WC. The drawing room is an incredibly bright and well-proportioned room featuring beautiful bow ended walls, three recessed display arches, decorative cornice, a ceiling rose and a gas fire with a gilt and cast iron fire basket and antique white marble surround; all of which is flooded with natural light a full height west facing astragal sash window and three further full height astragal sash windows that provide an elevated outlook over the gardens to the south. The adjacent kitchen benefits from a similar outlook and is fitted with a good range of Poggenpohl units, with space remaining for a table and chairs in front of a bay window. Appliances include an oven, combination microwave oven, 4 ring gas hob with an extractor hood over, integrated fridge freezer, integrated dishwasher, integrated washer/dryer and an additional freestanding fridge freezer. A cloakroom with a separate WC completes the accommodation on this floor. A carpeted staircase leads to the bedroom accommodation at garden level. The master bedroom is another beautiful bow ended room, featuring pretty cornice, a dressing area, three south facing astragal south windows with working timber shutters and an indulgent 5-piece en-suite bathroom with a generously proportioned shower cubicle and freestanding bath with a traditional hand held shower.
