Tucked away at the end of a long drive, Janard is a charming, beautifully presented, detached two bedroom timber frame house, surrounded by a delightful garden, located in the picturesque village of East Saltoun in sought after East Lothian. The home has been lovingly upgraded in recent times by the current owners, who have enjoyed living there for more than 20 years.
At the end of the drive is a gate, which opens onto an enclosed garden and a path leading to the front door. The entrance is filled with light and in turn leads to the spacious, yet cosy sitting room which has a lovely outlook over the front garden. The cosy log burner creates a pretty focal point in the room, whilst the gorgeous solid oak floor bounce light into the room.
A sleek, stylish south facing kitchen / dining room at the rear of the property is flooded with natural light. Wall and base mounted cabinetry is fitted on two walls with integrated appliances which comprise; electric hob, extractor hood, oven, fridge/freezer and hot water tap. There is plenty of space for a large dining table and chairs, whilst patio doors give direct access to the rear south facing garden. A handy utility room is located off the kitchen.
The home has two double bedrooms, also with beautiful oak floors. There is plenty of storage space in the form of two hall cupboards and fitted wardrobes in bedroom one, in addition to overhead partially floored loft space (accessed by a Ramsay ladder). A modern shower room completes the internal accommodation (with large shower cubicle, WC and wash hand basin). The Oil boiler provides hot water and heating, whilst the windows are double glazed (and patio doors triple glazed). The loft, walls and floors are insulated.
Externally, the home is surrounded by hedging and fencing. The generous plot wraps around the home, mainly laid with lawn and has established borders, planted with a beautiful mix of varied trees, bushes and shrubs. A charming gazebo is a great place for relaxing in during the summer months, when the heat of the patio gets too much. There is also a greenhouse, shed and coal shed. There is also a single garage and ample space to park 3 cars at the top, as well as the long driveway. Unrestricted parking is available on the street outside.
There is planning permission currently in place to extend the home, creating an additional living area and shower room, in addition to moving both the utility room and oil tank, and also installing double timber gates allowing for vehicular access to the garden.
