Hi Thank you for visiting our listing and we hope that we will have the opportunity to welcome you to the property.

Property information

Dating back to 1909, this cosy 2 bedroom (one with a small ensuite shower room) fisherman's flat with the most amazing far-reaching sea views is perfect for using as a base to explore East Lothian and Edinburgh. Similar to many other small fishing villages on the east coast of Scotland, fishing boats still work out of the harbour and can often been seen bringing back the catch from the windows of the flat. Restaurants, pubs, and a supermarket are all within walking distance and buses regularly go into Edinburgh from the village.

Neighbourhood information

Cockenzie and neighbouring village Port Seton have pretty much joined together into 1 village with 2 harbours. They lie on the Firth of Forth about 3 miles east of Edinburgh. Fishing is still an important part of Cockenzie and an excellent fishmonger selling the local catch can be found only a short walk away as well as fish and chip shops. The flat lies just off the stone beach an you can walk along the coast line in both directions. The pretty working harbours are ideal for walking around to blow the cobwebs away and if its raining, you can call into Cockenzie House and Garden, a 17th century mansion which houses a gift shop and café and often art exhibitions. Within walking distance there is a supermarket, pubs selling a decent standard of food, gift shops and a newsagent
