The subjects form the ground and first floor of a B-listed 18th century stone-built property which has recently undergone a major redevelopment to include a restaurant/café, a retail unit and 15 one and two bed flats. The restaurant/café is occupied by the German bakery Falko Konditormeister.
2 George Court provides contemporary and spectacular retail accommodation with direct access at the junction of Hardgate and the High Street.

Haddington is one of East Lothian’s largest settlements with a resident population of approximately 12,000. The town is strategically placed approximately 18 miles east of Scotland’s capital city, Edinburgh, which is accessible within 35 minutes via the A1, thus making it extremely popular amongst commuters. The nearest railway station is only 3 miles away at Drem offering direct services to Edinburgh Waverley and there are also several direct bus links.
The affluent town boasts a strong local economy with existing commercial occupiers including Tesco, Aldi and Boots. Market Street and Court Street, the two principle retail thoroughfares, offer a diverse mix of shops, restaurants and cafes comprising a mix of local and nationally established operators.
Furthermore, high demand for additional housing in the town has been met with several active developments currently ongoing. All levels of education from nursery through to senior support this rapid expansion and there is a growing range of local sporting and community facilities.
