The property

With its stone front facade this former miner's cottage is brimming with character. It boasts a delightful double garden, vehicle access and parking to rear. The south-facing glazed entrance vestibule is perfect for shaking off wet coats and muddy boots. On the left the spacious, yet cosy, living room is bathed in light from a south-facing window and at the heart of the room is a rustic fireplace with a log burner. From here, a central hall with thick stone walls marks the transition from the original cottage to the newer extension to rear, which houses the kitchen. Here two traditional-style double glazed windows provide an outlook over the rear garden and fill the kitchen with light. The kitchen is fitted with Shaker-style cabinets, solid timber worktops and a Belfast-style sink, plus a range of built-in appliances. Accessed from the kitchen, as well as the second bedroom, the bright conservatory offers a convivial dining area or relaxing reception area. The property boasts two double bedrooms; the master bedroom to the front features a built-in wardrobe. The second bedroom has a useful traditional Scottish press. Completing the accommodation is a three-piece bathroom. Additionally, there is handy attic space providing extra storage. Gas central heating and double-glazing is fitted throughout. Externally the property enjoys a private rear garden with beautiful views toward the East Lothian coastline. The easily maintained garden has been laid to lawn and has mature plants and shrubs, along with raised flower beds. There is also a summer house, a children's playhouse, a shed, patio area and a log store. Parking is provided by way of a driveway within the garden and there is ample space for further vehicles in the lane leading to the rear of the property. Danderhall is situated just a 20-minute drive from the centre of Edinburgh. The village offers swift access to the City Bypass, and benefits from a good bus service to Edinburgh and the Borders, as well as trains to Edinburgh Waverley and Galashiels from nearby Shawfair station. The Royal Infirmary, the future Sick Kids' building and the Edinburgh Bio-Quarter are close by. Village amenities include a local supermarket, a library, a GP surgery, a garage and a pub, whilst more extensive shopping and recreational facilities can be found in the nearby town of Dalkeith, Cameron Toll Shopping Centre and Fort Kinnaird Retail Park. There is a primary school and nursery, and from Autumn 2020 the leisure facilities and the library will be housed together with the primary and nursery schools in a modern complex. Several secondary and independent schooling options are provided in the local area. Home Report: £170,000 EPC: D
