Why we love 17 Knowes road

At Cullerton’s, representing East Lothian’s finest contemporary homes is our hallmark. This September, 17 Knowes Road is our stand-out property of the month.

Set behind electric gates on a private, leafy plot off Haddington’s West Road, this five-to-six-bedroom home spans four levels and over 4,300 sq. ft, its bold pitched roofline and full-height glazing giving it real presence from the moment you arrive.

More than just a list of beautiful features, this home offers an unforgettable atmosphere. It strikes the perfect balance of spacious living, modern design, and ultimate convenience.

"It is rare to find a home that combines striking architecture with genuine flexibility for modern life, quite like 17 Knowes Road does."

A spacious heart to the home

At the centre of the home is an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space, with sliding doors that lead out to a private balcony. A media wall with an inset gas fire anchors the sitting area. The kitchen itself, designed by Kitchens by Coast, pairs sleek black and concrete-effect cabinetry with a full Siemens suite.

There’s a home gym, a dual-aspect office, and a snug that turns into a playroom or guest room without complaint. There’s even a separate garden room that adds yet another space to work or unwind, all while overlooking the garden.

"Filled in natural light, the home's open layout gives the entire space a beautifully finished, inviting atmosphere."

A principal suite built for retreat

Upstairs, the principal bedroom suite opens directly onto the garden, with a walk-through dressing room leading to an open double shower and freestanding bath. Two further bedroom suites, one with its own balcony, complete an upper floor designed for a growing household rather than a single spare room. 

A private garden and beyond your doorstep

The rear garden offers genuine privacy, enhanced by a generous porcelain patio leading out from the principal suite. Beyond the gates, Haddington offers first-class independent shopping, excellent local schools, and an easy 35-minute bus link into Edinburgh, alongside some of East Lothian’s finest golf courses and coastline within easy reach.

"The patio catches the sun, giving a warm, home-like feeling, and you'd never guess you're this close to the town centre."

Brimming with contemporary style and genuine versatility, this home is a rare find in one of East Lothian’s most sought-after towns.
