This historic 4-bedroom family residence offers significant renovation and investment potential, nestled within a picturesque conservation area on the outskirts of Eskbank. Known as The Old Sun Inn, this former coaching inn dates back to the 17th century, rich in history and character, opposite the historic Newbattle Abbey. While it has been restored since falling into disrepair in 1965, there remains ample opportunity for further enhancement and modernization while preserving its intrinsic charm. Notable period features abound, including sash windows, unique oval windows, and an impressive stone inglenook fireplace that highlights its historical significance.
The property boasts adaptable living spaces over two floors, with existing planning permission for transforming the loft into two additional double bedrooms and a bathroom—an excellent opportunity for those looking to increase living space or enhance rental potential. The spacious grounds include mature gardens and outbuildings: a large former dairy barn providing flexible options for development or conversion (subject to planning consent), adding further investment potential.
Located conveniently for commuting to Edinburgh and positioned near woodland walks along the River South Esk, this property combines historical allure with modern living capabilities—ideal for investors or families keen on making their mark through renovation.
