Rohallion, 12 King's Road,

Property Details

Open viewing on Sunday 8th March between 11am-1pm and on Wednesday 11th March between 5pm-7pm

Located on the iconic King’s Road, Rohallion is a 1952 detached home with a quiet, enduring presence, set within an impressive plot of just under half an acre. Long established within this tree-lined stretch of Longniddry, the house holds a gentle mid-century charm that is increasingly rare to find.

A bright front porch leads into a welcoming hallway that forms the heart of the ground floor. To the rear, the southwest-facing living room enjoys natural light throughout the day and opens through patio doors to the garden. The kitchen also looks over the rear grounds, and the layout is completed by a convenient WC and direct access to the integrated garage. To the front, the dual-aspect dining room offers an airy, balanced space ideal for everyday use or gatherings.

Upstairs, three generous double bedrooms sit around the landing, each with its own outlook across the established surroundings. A family bathroom, a deep storage cupboard, and attic access complete the upper level, lending the home a traditional and practical layout ready to evolve with a new owner’s plans.

The grounds are a standout feature. A long private driveway guides you towards the house, with mature hedging and trees giving the frontage a feeling of privacy and permanence. To the sides, a car port, greenhouse, and a large storage unit offer excellent functional space, all framed by stretches of lawn.

The southeast-facing rear garden feels especially timeless. An established orchard, several mature trees, a vegetable patch, and climbing plants create a setting rarely offered in modern homes. The scale and seclusion of the garden invite a sense of possibility, whether for gentle landscaping or more ambitious ideas.

Heating is provided by a wood-burning stove in the living room and an oil-fired range in the kitchen, with hot water supplied by an immersion heater in the attic.

While the property would now benefit from modernisation, Rohallion presents a genuinely rare opportunity: a home with character, history, and a remarkable plot, offering scope to reshape or extend it into something truly exceptional, subject to consents.

The Location

Longniddry offers an outstanding quality of life within easy reach of Scotland’s capital. With convenient rail links into Edinburgh, the village is ideal for commuters and families, with many local children also travelling by train to schools in the city. North Berwick, one of East Lothian’s most sought after coastal towns, is a short train ride away, with only one stop in between, and is also well served by a regular bus route. Renowned for its beautiful village centre, excellent beaches, and rich wildlife, Longniddry combines coastal living with a welcoming community feel. The village enjoys generous green spaces, leafy parkland, and an extensive network of walking paths, perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, dog walkers, and families. The popular Longniddry Bents shoreline is nearby, offering scenic seaside walks and stunning views. Golfers are exceptionally well catered for. The respected Longniddry Golf Club, a former host of Open Championship qualifying rounds, is a short walk away. Craigielaw Golf Club at Aberlady, and the world class courses of Gullane, are also within easy reach. Local amenities include a library and community centre, tennis courts, a large playpark, a community use football pavilion with café, a Post Office, a pharmacy, local shops including a Co-op, the Longniddry Inn, and a veterinary practice. Supermarkets are available in Port Seton and Haddington, which also has a large Tesco. Longniddry Primary School has an excellent reputation, and further private schooling options are available in Haddington, Musselburgh, and Edinburgh. A recent highlight is the redevelopment of The Steading at Longniddry Farm, featuring a Margiotta food market, a welcoming coffee shop, and a Cookery School, which appeared on television during one of Robson Green’s Weekend Escapes recent episodes. With its coastal charm, excellent transport connections, and strong community facilities, Longniddry represents an exceptional place to call home.
