An impressive beautifully presented former manse dating from the 1600’s with exceptional accommodation over three floors in a secluded position on the edge of a conservation village.
Description
The Old Manse is an impressive traditional stone built house under a slate roof sitting within its own walled gardens. While having been extended in its time, it is known to originally date from the 1600s and has only had three owners in that time. The balanced accommodation extends over three floors and has been comprehensively upgraded recently while retaining many original period features including stunning ornate plasterwork, original working shutters and fireplaces.
The main entrance leads through a vestibule into a light-filled reception hall. To the left, a single storey Victorian extension currently accommodates the home office with views towards the church and front gates, and the snug which has a wood burner set into the fireplace for cosy relaxed evenings.
The central hallway has a stone staircase sweeping up to the first floor and a cloakroom situated off it. Beyond is the spectacular open plan sitting room and kitchen which makes the most of its southwest facing position flooding it with light and views over the terraced gardens, making it ideally suited for modern family living. The sitting room area has a wood burner and bespoke built-in cabinetry with a link door through to the elegant formal dining room, with double doors leading directly out onto the garden. However it is the stunning kitchen featuring a large central island with hand finished cabinets and bespoke Silestone worktops and upstands that draws the attention. Traditional touches of a Belfast sink and the Lacanche five burner gas range cooker suit the historic nature of the manse, while a Quooker tap and an additional Miele induction hob make this a kitchen that is also thoroughly modern and perfect for those who love to cook and entertain.
The utility room is situated off the kitchen and as well as having plenty of storage and additional fridge and freezer space, it also accommodates two washing machines and two tumble dryers.
From the central hallway an elegant original stone staircase leads up to the first floor. A half landing splits and off here is the guest bedroom with recently refurbished en suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe with views over the terraces and church. The stairs continue up to the first full landing where the generous principal bedroom is located with its dual aspect views over the gardens and a stunning fireplace with hand refurbished original tiles and marble mantel. In addition, a large separate dressing room with built in storage and panelled en suite bathroom is situated alongside.
Three further bedrooms are found on the second floor and these share a large family bathroom, with a cast iron roll top bath and separate shower, and a further dressing room, which could be a used as an additional home office.

Famed for its golf courses, East Lothian has been host to The Open and many other international golfing events, and is increasingly well known for being Scotland’s Food and Drink County.
The commuter village of Tranent is conveniently located just off the A1, approximately 10 miles east of Edinburgh and 20 miles from Edinburgh Airport, giving it exceptional access to Scotland’s capital city as well as the towns and villages of East Lothian and beyond.

The town also has state primary and secondary schools. There are also private schooling options locally at The Compass in Haddington (primary), Loretto in Musselburgh (primary and secondary) and Belhaven Hill (preparatory) in Dunbar, with a wider choice being offered in Edinburgh, many of which provide direct bus services from East Lothian.
