The property

Closing date set for Wednesday 18th November 2020 at 12 noon Enjoying a superb setting in popular Dalkeith, this outstanding, detached traditional townhouse enjoys four bedrooms, three reception rooms and three bathrooms, in addition to private gardens, off-street parking and a garage. Sympathetically modernised and extended, it offers an enviable combination of stylish contemporary interiors and abundant period features. Located in the Eskbank and Ironmills conservation area, easily commutable to Edinburgh, it represents an exceptional home in a highly desirable, well-connected setting. Nestled behind a gated, landscaped front garden, the blonde-sandstone frontage imparts instant kerb appeal to this characterful property. Double doors lead, via a vestibule, into a welcoming entrance hall, with useful incorporated storage. Creating a fabulous first impression, softgrey shaded walls combine beautifully with an inspired rich black-toned timber floor, and original wood-panelled doors. The accommodation offers a perfect layout for modern family living, designed to maximise its elevated setting. An elegant living room, offering ample space for relaxing and entertaining, enjoys contemporary décor married beautifully with period features, including decorative cornicework, and a large traditional sash and case window, perfectly placed for framing the leafy, open rear outlook. Planning permission (now lapsed) was granted to extend here to create a fabulous roof terrace. Accessed from here and sharing the garden view (and a handy external door), is a cosy study, perfect working from home. From the living room, a magnificent, bespoke floating staircase, with an airy glass canopy, leads you down to the garden level and into a superb open-plan kitchen, offering seating and dining areas for a perfect, sociable space for everyday living. Abundant natural light floods in via dual-aspect windows and overhead skylights. A superb wall of sliding patio doors opens onto a paved terrace, ideal for warmer days, bringing the garden inside. The kitchen boasts an island with a breakfast bar (perfect for informal meals) and a sweep of sleek, cream-toned handleless cabinets, with contrasting moulded worktops, housing an integrated gas hob, an eye-level double oven, a dishwasher and a refrigerator. A separate utility room offers a discrete laundry area, storage and space for appliances. Also, on this level, a generous double bedroom, enjoying garden views, would make an ideal guest bedroom, with an adjoining, beautifullyappointed three-piece shower room. Returning to the ground floor, three further double bedrooms can be found, each with exceptionally generous proportions and featuring the delightful balance of soft, contemporary décor and period features. The master bedroom boasts the added luxury of a contemporary, three-piece shower room. Bedroom two enjoys a south-facing bay window, affording a sunny, peaceful seating area. Finally, a family bathroom, located on the first floor and accessed via an impressive oak staircase and a landing, is finished with a roll-top bath, perfectly placed to enjoy the open views. Off the first-floor landing are further useful store cupboards. The property benefits from gas central heating and partial double glazing, ensuring year-round comfort. Outside, the private rear gardens gently slope away from the house, with paved and gravelled terraces, lawns and colourful flowerbeds. Beyond the paved rear patio, an open-sided gazebo offers a wonderful indoor/outdoor entertaining area, and steps lead to a large timber deck - a perfect family play area. A private driveway leads to an attached single garage, offering off-street parking and secure storage, with further parking available on the street.
