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 />
