Large, energy-efficient family home with gardens, garage and panoramic Midlothian views.
Five double bedrooms with three ensuite bathrooms
Immaculate, energy-efficient five-bedroom detached home built in 2019, set on a peaceful hilltop between Dalkeith and Pathhead. The house offers over 3,300 sq ft of flexible family space with a dramatic double-height kitchen/dining area, multiple reception rooms and large windows that frame wide countryside views from the Lammermuirs to the Pentlands. High-quality construction using local stone and Rationel windows combines contemporary barn conversion styling with practical durability.
Designed for low running costs and reduced environmental impact, the property includes solar panels, a Tesla home battery, an air-source heat pump and an EV charging point, and holds an EPC rating of B. Outside, large landscaped gardens with a south-westerly aspect, multiple seating areas, a pizza-oven sitooterie and a substantial summer house extend living space in good weather. A substantial driveway accommodates up to ten vehicles alongside an integral double garage with internal access.
Accommodation suits family life and entertaining: a ground-floor double bedroom with ensuite, utility/boot room, and generous storage; upstairs four further double bedrooms, two with ensuites, plus a bright gallery landing overlooking the kitchen void. Fixtures, fittings and most appliances are included in the sale, simplifying move-in.
Practical drawbacks to note: broadband speeds are reported slow, and council tax is described as quite expensive. The listing also records the wider area as showing high deprivation despite a local classification of prospering countryside life; buyers should consider local service provision and commuting needs when assessing suitability.
