Annexe/garage: close to the main house is a substantial detached triple garage block providing excellent garaging and storage. Above the garage is a spacious two bedroom self-contained annexe with en suite shower rooms, and an exceptionally spacious open-plan living/dining room/kitchen.

Outside

Yellowcraig House occupies an unusually large plot extending to approximately 1 acre and enjoys a particularly peaceful and private position at the eastern end of this exclusive development.

The extensive gardens and grounds are a particular feature of the property, with sweeping lawns, areas of mature woodland and generous space surrounding the house.

There is a gate from the garden directly on to the footpath that leads to Yellowcraig Beach.

There is ample off-street parking in addition to the triple garage, while the property's position within Archerfield places it within easy reach of Yellowcraig Beach and some of Scotland's finest golf courses, combining a highly private setting with exceptional access to the East Lothian coastline.
