With breathtaking views of the Firth of Forth, 21C Marine Lodge occupies the top floor of an imposing detached Victorian villa, situated right in the heart of North Berwick, less than two minutes' walk from the beautiful West Beach.

This light-filled, three-bedroom property is accessed via a private side gate, with a dedicated stairwell serving this flat and the one below only. There is ample storage on the upper landing, ideal for coats, wetsuits and outdoor kit.

A spacious entrance vestibule provides useful storage before stairs lead up into a wonderful central hallway, lit by two generous roof lights. Large and bright, with all rooms leading off it and a sliding-door cupboard offering ample additional storage. The flooring throughout is original wooden floorboard and the windows are either fully operational original single-glazed sash and case, or modern Veluxes.

The sitting room is a real highlight, with a cosy gas stove set in the original fireplace and two large sash windows overlooking Westgate, with spectacular views across to the beach, harbour, the sea and the Fife coast beyond. This L-shaped room is further filled with light from a large skylight and offers a versatile space, currently combining an expansive seating area with an additional study area lined with bookcases.

The kitchen is a generous, airy living space with a sofa and coffee table in one corner, a dining table easily seating six, and windows facing east and south. An original sash window with working shutters overlooks the garden, and two Velux windows look towards the tree-lined rear grounds, stone-walled parking area and North Berwick Law beyond. The kitchen has stainless steel worktops and sink, a gas hob and electric ovens. A new combi boiler was installed within the last twelve months.

Bedroom one comfortably fits a king-size bed and overlooks Westgate with the same panoramic sea views as the sitting room, complete with fitted wardrobe. Bedroom two is a comfortable double facing west, with a sash window and working shutters that bring exceptional evening light. Bedroom three is a well-proportioned box room with skylights, fitting a double bed or making an excellent study.

The family bathroom has a shower over bath, WC and sink, with new flooring and recently refreshed throughout.

Outside, there is a large side garden mostly laid to lawn, shared with the downstairs neighbour. Both flats also share a section of lawn at the front of the property with well-established shrubbery and trees. 21C has its own single garage with power and a dedicated parking space in the off-street parking area to the rear - a genuine bonus for a town-centre property given North Berwick's parking restrictions. The beach, the train station and all the amenities of the High Street are just a stroll away.

There is no formal factor. Communal maintenance is managed informally and cooperatively between the owners. Garden upkeep is shared between the two flats from April to September at approximately £50 per flat per month. Larger communal works such as roof repairs are handled by agreement, with owners collaborating on quotes as required.
