The property

Great outlooks, landscaped gardens and within short walking distance to Bonnyrigg Primary School. Forming part of a contemporary development in a quiet leafy cul-de-sac in popular Hopefield in Bonnyrigg, this substantial detached five-bedroom house presents the perfect family home in an ideal location: within easy walking distance of the High Street, local schools and parks and conveniently close to road and bus links. The double-fronted house instantly endears with its yellow sandstone exterior and slate roof, and once inside, the attraction continues with the fresh, contemporary interiors and spacious rooms. From the front door, you step into a bright hall with space for furniture items and a handy WC. The hall enjoys neutral décor enhanced by Amtico flooring, a prominent feature throughout most of the ground-floor accommodation. The ground-floor is home to two reception rooms (a living room and a formal dining room) and a generous dining kitchen. Situated to the rear of the property, the living room is presented with chic décor accompanied by a cosy fitted carpet and features large triple windows overlooking the rear garden, with a door affording access outside – perfect for alfresco entertaining during the warmer months! Next door, the wonderfully bright and spacious kitchen offers plenty of room for a casual seated dining area and further lounge furniture and also has French doors opening out onto the rear garden. The kitchen incorporates a selection of sleek white wall and base cabinets supplemented by grey worktops and a range of neatly-integrated appliances. An adjoining utility room (with external access) offers a discrete laundry space. The formal dining room is currently being used as a play room and could lend itself to a variety of uses. On the first floor, an airy landing with storage and loft access leads to five bedrooms (three doubles and two singles) and a family bathroom. The two largest doubles accommodate built-in storage, enjoy a sunny aspect and have their own en-suite shower rooms. One of the single bedrooms is being utilised as an office, showcasing the versatility of the generous home. Finally, the stylishly-tiled family bathroom comprises bathtub with an overhead shower, an inset basin, and a toilet. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure optimum comfort and efficiency all year round. Outside, the family home is accompanied by a reassuringly-secure rear garden with a well-maintained lawn, leafy shrubbery, and a sunken patio with lights and an electricity supply – ideal for summer barbecuing! Excellent private parking is provided by a detached double garage (with gym mat-style flooring and a power supply) and a double driveway. The house also benefits from the security of a CCTV and alarm system.
