General Description<br />

The historic seaside and fishing town of Dunbar has an<br />

excellent shopping centre, schooling for all ages and a<br />

wide range of leisure and recreational facilities. These<br />

include a modern leisure pool, sports complex, two<br />

fine links golf courses and numerous sports and social<br />

clubs.The town is surrounded by typically beautiful <strong>East</strong><br />

<strong>Lothian</strong> countryside and there are many interesting<br />

coastal walks including those in the John Muir Country<br />

Park. The town is within comfortable commuting<br />

distance of Edinburgh by car or train from the local<br />

station. The city bypass also provides rapid access to<br />

the airport and motorway network leading north and<br />

west. <strong>Colvin</strong> <strong>Street</strong> enjoys a quite private position very<br />

close to the shore and harbour and within walking<br />

distance of most local amenities.<br />

This traditional semi detached house while requiring<br />

full modernisation, retains many of its original features<br />

such as plain and decorative corniced ceilings, panelled<br />

doors, working shutters and original oak and tiled<br />

fireplaces and has the potential for conversion into two<br />

separate homes (with the usual planning permissions<br />

of course) or be transformed into a sizeable and<br />

comfortable family home.<br />

In brief the accommodation comprises on the ground<br />

floor entrance hall, sitting room, dining room,<br />

bedroom1 and kitchen/living room, while upstairs there<br />

are two further bedrooms, living room/bedroom 4,<br />

small kitchen with “scullery” off, and bathroom. It also<br />

includes gas central heating and there is a small<br />

enclosed south facing garden to the back of the<br />

property.<br />

As mentioned above, the scope of improvement<br />

extends to both the exterior and interior of the house<br />

and includes such major work as a completely new<br />

roof, work to the chimneys, re-pointing, plastering,<br />

rewiring and plumbing, damp proofing, timber<br />

treatment and all new windows, so this would not be<br />

suitable for those seeking cosmetic or minor repairs.<br />

This is a sizeable property - with great potential - set<br />

at a realistic fixed price which is reflective of the work<br />

required. In addition, the ground to the rear may be<br />

purchased through separate negotiation with <strong>East</strong><br />

<strong>Lothian</strong> Council.<br />
