BOWMONT COTTAGE

BOWMONT COTTAGE

Bowmont Cottage, East Links Road, Dunbar, East Lothian, EH42 1LT

Set on a generous plot with breathtaking sea views and direct access to Dunbar’s East Beach, Bowmont Cottage is a rare and exciting opportunity. This four-bedroom detached, all-on-the-level cottage offers enormous potential to be transformed into a truly special coastal family home.

The current accommodation is spacious and well laid out, though the property would now benefit from refurbishment, as reflected in the valuation. A welcoming entrance hallway leads to a large sitting/dining room, where wide glass doors look out onto the garden and frame spectacular sea views. The kitchen and adjoining utility room provide practical space with access to the rear garden. There are four double bedrooms, a shower room, a WC, and a small sunroom.

Externally, the property continues to impress with its scale and possibilities. The rear garden is expansive and mainly laid to lawn, complemented by mature shrubs, trees, and fruit trees including apple, pear, and plum. A standout feature is a large brick-base greenhouse, full of charm and character, currently home to a grape vine and peach tree. At the garden’s end, a stone wall with a gate provides direct access straight onto East Beach, an unrivalled feature in this location.

The front garden is also sizable, with a large driveway providing ample off-street parking. A substantial detached stone-built stables/garage sits to the front and, like the house itself, presents huge scope for imaginative reconfiguration or redevelopment, subject to consents.

Bowmont Cottage is a property of rare potential, combining spacious accommodation, large garden grounds, character outbuildings, and direct beach access. Peaceful and secluded, yet just a 10 minute walk from Dunbar’s High Street and station, it offers an exciting opportunity to create a remarkable family home in one of East Lothian’s most desirable coastal settings.

Location

Historic Dunbar, which is surrounded by fantastic scenery, is a vibrant thriving town with a real sense of community. There is a bustling high street with an excellent selection of independent and artisan shops, restaurants and galleries with the convenience of a large supermarket on the outskirts and good local Primary and Secondary schooling. The medical centre offers a choice of three G.P practices and there is also easy access to the East Lothian Community Hospital in Haddington and The Royal Infirmary in Edinburgh. The two colourful working harbours beneath the ruined castle are the hub of the town and the Harbour Trust is an active part of local life. The Dunbar Battery has recently been spectacularly restored to create a unique open-air venue with an amphitheatre and a coastal garden. There is also a leisure centre with a swimming pool and a newly opened platinum fitness centre, two golf courses, beautiful sandy beaches, spectacular cliff top walks and the John Muir Country Park. The town is also home to Coast to Coast, Scotland's largest surfing school. The convenience of easy access to Edinburgh City Centre by train (25 minutes) or via a regular bus service and access to the A1 and City Bypass is easy and straightforward, which combined with accessibility to Newcastle and the South by train or car adds to the appeal of this sought-after town.
