32, Douglas Marches, North Berwick, EH39 5LZ

Set within a peaceful cul-de-sac on the edge of a highly sought after modern development, 32 Douglas Marches is a unique and individualised five bedroom detached family home in the desirable coastal town of North Berwick, close to excellent schools and within easy reach of the sports centre, railway station, town centre and beaches.

Beautifully presented and thoughtfully extended, it offers a distinctive and highly versatile living environment with a natural, intuitive flow throughout.

A defining feature is its exceptional south south-westerly orientation.

The house and decked terrace enjoy a completely open outlook in this direction, affording a rare sense of privacy within an estate setting.

Surrounded by trees and open space, the property feels notably secluded and far removed from neighbouring homes.

The design fully embraces this aspect, with two sets of double doors, a single door and an entire wall of glazing opening onto the terrace.

This creates a seamless connection between inside and out, allowing the terrace to become a true extension of the living space and enhancing the sense of light and flow throughout the ground floor.

Extending to approximately 217 square metres, the property sits towards the upper end of the development in terms of size and specification.

The generous ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance hall; a sitting room with access to a west-facing terrace with hot tub; an open plan kitchen/dining room with a full range of integrated appliances; and a spacious south-facing conservatory with wood burning stove and French doors to the garden.

A particularly valuable addition is the versatile office with ensuite shower room and its own separate entrance from the driveway, ideal for home working, guest use or lodger accommodation, effectively providing a sixth bedroom.

A utility room and ground floor WC complete this level.

The home also benefits from an integrated sound system across the principal rooms, alongside a cinema projection screen in the conservatory with Dolby surround sound for an immersive entertainment experience.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom features a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite shower room.

Bedrooms two and three enjoy built-in wardrobes, while bedrooms four and five also include built-in storage and share a Jack and Jill ensuite.

A family bathroom with separate shower completes the accommodation. In total, there are four full bathrooms in addition to a ground floor cloakroom. Externally, the property continues to impress.

The rear garden offers a private and relaxing setting with a decked terrace and hot tub, ideal for outdoor dining.

A privately owned driveway provides parking for up to six vehicles, in addition to the integral garage.

Despite its setting, this is a house that feels anything but typical, offering a rare combination of privacy, scale and thoughtful design.

In addition to its appeal as a family home, it occasionally operates as a successful 5 star luxury short term holiday let, particularly during the summer months, presenting an attractive lifestyle investment opportunity.
