We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
A Generous Village Home with Space, Character and a Wonderful Garden in the Heart of East Saltoun.
Set within the an exclusive development in the highly desirable East Lothian village of East Saltoun, this property is an impressive and generously proportioned family home.
Offering flexible accommodation, an attractive private garden and the kind of space that can adapt as family life changes. From the moment you arrive, the property has a real sense of character.
The distinctive covered entrance, framed by an impressive broad stone arch, provides a welcoming first impression and opens into a bright reception hall with a traditional timber staircase at its heart.
From here, you are drawn through to the spacious living room, where a wood-burning stove creates a warm and inviting focal point.
Adjoining the living room is a versatile library, which can be enjoyed as part of the main living space or closed off to create a separate children’s playroom, snug or quiet retreat.
The accommodation offers an excellent balance between comfortable family living and practical everyday space.
Generous rooms and plenty of natural light are recurring features throughout the home, while the layout provides considerable flexibility for anyone working from home or needing space for hobbies, guests or a growing family.
The existing usage demonstrate this particularly well with some rooms currently utilised as a home office, gym and a music studio showing just how adaptable the accommodation can be without compromising the principal living or bedroom spaces.
Upstairs, the bedrooms are well proportioned and several enjoy pleasant leafy outlooks.
The principal bedroom is particularly appealing, with bold contemporary décor and access to its own en-suite facilities.
A further bedroom also benefits from an en-suite shower room, while the family bathroom provides additional facilities for a busy household.
Practicality has clearly been considered too, with a separate utility room providing useful additional storage, worktop and laundry space together with direct access outside.
One of the property's real highlights is found beyond the house. The substantial private rear garden provides a wonderful setting for family life and outdoor entertaining.
A generous paved terrace immediately beside the house creates an ideal spot for outdoor furniture, summer dining or simply enjoying a coffee in the sunshine, while the large lawn is framed by established trees, shrubs and mature planting.
The result is an outdoor space that feels established, private and genuinely usable – equally suited to children playing, keen gardeners, entertaining friends or simply enjoying the peace of the surroundings.
If a large outdoor space is required there is a shared area available to all the residents. And then there is the location.
East Saltoun offers an increasingly rare combination of genuine village living surrounded by the East Lothian countryside, yet within convenient reach of Haddington, Edinburgh and the wider road network.
For buyers looking to step away from the bustle of town or city life without feeling isolated, it is an extremely appealing proposition.
This property is therefore much more than simply a house with generous accommodation.
It is a home offering space to live, space to work and space to grow, all within one of East Lothian's attractive rural communities.
Early viewing is highly recommended to appreciate both the scale of the accommodation and the setting.
