5 Location Inveresk is a pretty village, situated 7 miles east of Edinburgh city centre within East Lothian. Historically home for Edinburgh s prosperous professional classes this is a picturesque village with impressive period architecture. There is a wide range of local amenities in neighbouring Musselburgh which has a train link with Edinburgh. There is an excellent choice of independent schools within Edinburgh, while Loretto School is conveniently located within Musselburgh itself. There is good road access southwards nearby to the city bypass, eastwards to East Lothian and westwards to Edinburgh Airport and the central Scotland Motorway Network. History The site of the existing house was purchased in 1727 by Alexander Ainslie who demolished older cottages to make way for a house which was originally known as Acorn Lodge. In the 1860 s the house was extended by a new owner and renamed Oak Lodge following its enlargement. The house was acquired by the current owners in 1981 and they have undertaken sympathetic alterations and improvements during their ownership.

6 Description Oak Lodge is a charming B listed family home of considerable character. On an elevated site, the house has a delightful south-westerly aspect over its walled garden, to the Pentland Hills in the distance. Approached from the street by a gated and pillared entrance, there is a secluded cobbled courtyard giving access to the garage and the pedimented front door entrance of the house. Ground Floor A welcoming entrance hall, with stairway to the lower and upper floors, has a cloakroom off and leads to a corridor and the principal reception rooms and the kitchen. There is an elegant drawing room with Adam mantelpiece and two full height windows overlooking the garden, a well-proportioned dining room which is next to the kitchen/breakfast room which has an Aga cooker and south-facing window. A delicately formed staircase leads to the first floor with family bathroom and two southfacing double bedrooms, with a dressing room and shower room off the eastmost bedroom and an integrated shower room to the westmost room. Upper Floor On the upper floor, there are two further double bedrooms and a bathroom. Garden Level At garden level, with a stone flagged hallway and corridor there is a lovely family room with fireplace and door to the terrace and a spacious sitting room which leads into the conservatory.
