It is a spectacular coastal property on a stunning cliff-top position with breath-taking views over the Firth of Forth.
Today’s house started life as an inn for travellers, which was built on the site around 1900.
Pre-World War Two postcards survive which advertise lunches at the inn, for those making a stop-off on their way to North Berwick, for a very reasonable one and six.
The present-day occupant bought the house in 2009 and embarked on a major refurbishment and extension project. The work took the original four-bedroom property and added a new kitchen and dining room, plus three more ensuite bedrooms.
Canty Bay House, North Berwick, is priced at offers over £1.45m.
