The property
Silverburn Farmhouse is a superb traditional, stone-built property, set within large gardens with a gravel driveway, two double garages, large gardens, an indoor swimming pool and a separate sauna, all at the foot of the Pentland Hills. Dating from the early 1800s this is a beautiful stone-built former farmhouse with outbuildings (latterly used as double garages) with a large enclosed garden at the foot of the Pentland Hills. The house itself now requires some modernisation and upgrading but offers exceptional potential to create a wonderful family home. The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, two public rooms, both with fireplaces, a dining kitchen, utility room, office/bedroom 4 and a family bathroom. On the first floor, there are 3 bedrooms (master with en suite shower and sauna), and on the attic floor, there is a large lined attic room with velux window, a wc and access to a further eaves storage area. Externally, there are two large outbuildings, with power (previously used as garages), a covered patio area, a wood store and a raised lawn. The swimming pool is located within its own purpose-built timber structure with a vaulted ceiling and stone tiled floor, a second timber structure houses the sauna and shower room. There is a further area of garden with a sunken pond, pergola and sun house, all enclosed by timber fencing and a stone wall and offering wonderful countryside views of the Pentland Hills. The property benefits from new UPVC double glazing and some further secondary glazing, new front doors, and a combination of electric storage and LPG heating. There are solar panels mounted on the roof of the main house, with batteries which store the generated power (for the electric heating etc, which are more economical than the LPG) and on the swimming pool roof, (separate from the main house). Overall, this is an outstanding property, which will require some love and attention but will become a much-loved family home.
