A Country Manor House Near Edinburgh, Scotland
This property is on the market with Rettie, accepting offers over £4,000,000.
Stevenson House is nestled in a 22 acre estate in the East Lothian countryside, surrounded by notable gardens and parkland with a dreaming setting on the River Tyne.
To add to the pastoral paradise, 7 acres of the estate are enclosed grass parkland and paddocks, complete with a field shelter and courtyard stable complex.
The meticulously maintained country house dates back to 1560, although some parts may be as early as 1359.
The original house was built around a square open courtyard in a modest interpretation of a ‘cour d'honneur’, and was squared off and extended in the 19th century.
Restored in 2004, the interiors date back to the 17th and 18th centuries, with a few exceptions, such as the corridors (created in the 1820s when the courtyard was converted), lined with wood panelling taken from the former Red Star liner S.S. Columbia in 1934.
The 8-bedroom home has 3 grand reception rooms and a further 3 informal reception rooms, as well as a billiard room, boot room, and offices; a lift connects all of the floors.
Even with its fine period detail and grandeur, Stevenson House is a comfortable family home, with a cozy country kitchen and breakfast area.
The country estate comes with an additional 3 dwellings on the property: Little Stevenson House (3 bedrooms), Stevenson Coach House (4 bedrooms), and a 2-bedroom Lodge.
