Leuchie Walled Garden, North Berwick, East Lothian, Scotland

This house is an absolute gem. Gather 12 of your nearest and dearest for a magical stay in a fabulous recently renovated 1960's contemporary property set in a stunning traditional walled garden.

Leuchie offers an enchanting blend of luxury modern living inside 5 acres of enclosed garden. The mid-century modern design has created the ideal open plan space to enjoy being together. It's all about the light with enormous glass windows in all the rooms showing off the wonderful garden backdrop. There are 2 kitchens for preparing meals with informal dining in the kitchen or in the formal dining room next to open fires. The Drawing Room, with its antique furniture and 300 year old family portraits, is the largest area boasting a grand piano and comfy sofas. The TV room is a great spot for everyone to settle down and watch a film or engage in some board game competitions. And there's table tennis and a snooker table for entertainment, plus a tennis court outside.

4 of the 6 deluxe bedrooms are on the ground floor, a consideration for multi generational groups or those with mobility issues. All have en suite or adjacent facilities and there is a mix of superkings, zip and links and twins to suit. Soft furnishings throughout are stylish and opulent. Bathrooms are plentiful and high end.

There is always something beautiful to see outside too - the spring daffodils, May blossom or summer lavender beds. The private grounds beyond mean woodland walks and games of croquet are on the cards and there's plenty of space for the youngsters to use up excess energy.

The seaside town of North Berwick is only 5 minutes away with famous sandy beaches close by including Seacliffe and Yellowcraig. The area, rich in marine life, is great for walking, cycling and birdwatching, with a trip to Bass Rock to see the 150,000 gannets, or a visit the nearby Craigleith Island renowned for seals and puffins, a must. Other East Lothian highlights are within 15 minutes such as the pretty village of Stenton and market town of Haddington as well as 12 golf courses. Further afield, but within an hour, Edinburgh is a great day out - explore the Castle, Arthur's Seat and The National Museum.
