A HISTORIC railway cottage in East Lothian, formerly the signalman's home of residence, has been reduced in price after only a month on the market. 

Located at St Germains Crossing, west of Longniddry, the two-bedroomed bungalow used to be the lodgings of the signalman many years ago before being sold to a private buyer. 

After 20 years of ownership, the current owners put the property on the market on August 7 and reduced the price on September 3 by £20,000, with offers over £390,000 now welcome.

The description's listing, published on Rightmove by David Todd, of estate agents Keller Williams, reads: "This two-bedroom detached cottage enjoys a secluded setting, nestled amongst leafy gardens in the East Lothian countryside, yet within easy reach of local everyday shopping, rail links, and the A1.

"The comfortable single-storey home benefits from excellent storage and interconnected living spaces, plus there is private parking with a driveway and a detached garage."

Mr Todd informed the Courier of the "unique" history that the property holds.
