This beautiful East Lothian 17th century seven-bedroom home with stables, market garden and orchard, is currently available for offers over £1,050,000.
Set on 6.14 rolling acres of land, of which one acre is garden, The Dower House is an immensely impressive, detached stone house, set in the rolling countryside outside Musselburgh.
Lovingly upgraded throughout by the current owners to create a highly desirable home, the property and land offers a number of options for the new owners.
The home, built around 1650, comes with a private garden, a market garden, a double garage, three stables, a tack room, orchard and surrounding land suitable for grazing.
The house has real historic interest, with the property appearing on Roy’s 18th-century Military Maps of Scotland. The name "Dower" reflects its traditional association with a widow's residence, and the property was once the home of Lady Elphinstone.
