Converted granary hits the market in East Lothian

A 19th Century converted granary is offering house-hunters a unique opportunity to own a historic piece of country living a short drive from the capital.

Built in the mid-1800s, the generously proportioned Chesterhall Steading is set amongst farmland on the outskirts of the picturesque village of Longniddry

The five bedroom property covers an impressive 2,920 square foot over two levels, creating enough space for further enhancement and is on the market with Gilson Gray Property Servies for offers over £575,000.
