The property

Stuart & Stuart are proud to present this magnificent three-bedroom modern detached house with beautiful garden grounds and a separate 2 acre paddock. Offering a luxurious family home enveloped by scenic landscapes and panoramic views. Ideal for a small holding with agricultural land. Approached along a tranquil country lane, just five minutes' drive from Penicuik, twin gateposts mark the entrance to the property, with a gravelled drive leading up to the house. From the welcoming central hall, glazed double doors open into the large dining room, which boasts a convenient walk-in cupboard and double patio doors onto the west-facing rear garden. Another set of double doors lead into the stunning, triple-aspect lounge. An exceptionally bright and airy room by day, by night the space is transformed into a cosy retreat, complete with an inviting log fire. The lounge is also supplemented with a good-size box room, which would make a perfect study or library. Fully glazed on two sides, the spectacular sunroom adjacent enjoys favourable southerly/westerly views of the beautiful gardens, and provides a charming sitting room, home office or studio. The sunroom flows into the generous utility room, which functions as a practical boot room with direct access from the front of the house and into the impressive galley kitchen. Lined with an abundance of storage and worktop space, the kitchen boasts a range of integrated appliances including a four-ring gas hob, an electric double oven, a cooker hood and a dishwasher, and further benefits from a highly desirable walk-in pantry. Also on the ground floor, the dual-aspect master bedroom features a lavish walk-in wardrobe leading into the four-piece family bathroom, which comprises a glazed shower compartment, a corner bath and a vanity unit incorporating an inset basin, a WC and fantastic storage. Continuing upstairs, the bright and spacious gallery landing offers another versatile living area with hatch access to a large floored loft. Positioned on either side of the landing, both double bedrooms benefit from tremendous proportions, built-in wardrobes with sliding mirror doors, and matching en-suite shower rooms. Oil-fired central heating and double glazing throughout ensure optimum comfort and efficiency all year round. The property sits in 2 acres of mature grounds, which are afforded outstanding privacy and shelter by established woodland and a natural ridge. Set against the backdrop of the rugged Pentland Hills, the grounds comprise a west-facing lawn with a charming pond and gazebo; an extensive gravelled parking area; two substantial sheds; and a separate paddock.
