Built as a coastguard station 140 years ago, this remarkable one-bedroom home on the edge of Dunbar's East Beach has been transformed into an attractively designed modern villa with uninterrupted views of the open sea. Underfloor heating, triple glazing and high-end finishes throughout make it as comfortable as it is striking.
Downstairs, the elegant bedroom has a luxurious king-size bed and a generous wardrobe, alongside a high-gloss shower room with rainfall shower and a handy utility area with washing machine. Upstairs is the showstopper: an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space flooded with light from three roof lights and floor-to-ceiling picture windows framing the panorama. The elegant kitchen is fully equipped, and a large flat-screen TV takes care of warm nights in.
This is an idyllic retreat for a couple seeking sea air and tranquillity, with Scotland's Golf Coast, including Muirfield and North Berwick, a short drive away and Dunbar's station reaching central Edinburgh in thirty minutes.
“I wholeheartedly recommend this beautiful home. It's incredibly well equipped with everything you could possibly need, and it's all premium quality. We loved the balcony with its picturesque views of the beach and sea. The house is spotlessly clean, and the bed is super comfy. A wonderful weekend of peace and tranquillity.”
“We had an excellent stay at this property, the location is charming and very peaceful and is a great base for exploring that whole area and wider afield. The property was exactly as described, was spotless and comfortable. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend it and to stay there again.”
“The Old Coastguard Station was exactly as described. Fabulous location with the town, harbours and coastal walks (both east and west) easily accessible on foot. The car was not used for any of our leisure activities. We would certainly return for another visit.”
“Absolutely stunning property, amazing to look out directly at the sea while being snug inside. Fabulous area, will be back!”
