One floor up are three well-proportioned double bedrooms, all with far-reaching views to the north over the rolling countryside.

On the half landing up is a second splendid reception room – again with the benefit of a bay window overlooking the garden ground, while enjoying an aspect over the town itself, to the Forth and to Edinburgh.

The room also has another period fireplace and cornice work.
