The property

This quietly located three-bedroom detached bungalow in Penicuik enjoys open countryside views, generous indoor and outdoor space, an attached single garage, and a private driveway, and is close to local shopping, schools, and amenities and within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre and the bypass. Set behind a neat front garden, the home’s front door opens into a bright entrance porch (with storage) leading into an inviting hallway (with further storage) presented with light, airy décor and cosy, neutral carpeting. Set to the rear of the home, a reception room is characterised by a palette of attractive, soft-toned décor and enhanced by a striking, almost full-height, picture window, affording wonderful scenic views over the rear garden to the rolling open countryside in the distance. A cosy focal point is created by a traditionally-styled electric fire, framed by a chunky timber surround, whilst generous dimensions provide ample floorspace for configurations of both lounge and dining furniture. Across the hall, an L-shaped kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a designated space for a large dining table and chairs, set before a backdrop of leafy garden views, with convenient access onto a patio for easy al fresco dining and summer entertaining. The sunny, dual-aspect space is fitted with a good selection of light wood-styled cabinetry, an expanse of downlit, granite-inspired worktops, an integrated double oven and grill, a ceramic hob, a freestanding fridge/freezer, and a washing machine, all set against a background of modern, neutrally-toned tiling. Echoing the homely styling and understated décor of the living accommodation, the home’s three double bedrooms provide space for freestanding bedroom furnishings and offer versatility and options for use. Finally, a modern shower room accommodates a glazed corner shower cubicle, a WC-suite, and excellent vanity storage. Gas central heating and double glazing are found throughout. The home’s extensive, enclosed rear garden enjoys an enviable southeast-facing aspect and features generous paved patio areas and a sweep of manicured lawn, all framed by mature shrubs and attractive planting. A front mono-blocked driveway, flanked by a lawn, provides private parking and leads to an attached single garage.
