Summary - 1 SHAWFAIR FARM COTTAGES, DALKEITH, WOOLMET EH22 1SG
Three-bedroom semi-detached cottage with countryside views
Set at the edge of the countryside in Dalkeith, this traditional three-bedroom semi-detached cottage combines period charm with practical family living. The sitting room with a feature fireplace and separate dining room create flexible living spaces, while the kitchen opens on to a private rear garden framed by protected native woodland — ensuring permanent open views to the rear.
The layout suits families or buyers wanting a calm country base with good commuter links: Shawfair and Newcraighall stations are nearby and central Edinburgh is around a 30-minute drive. Off-street private driveway parking and both front and rear gardens add everyday convenience and outdoor space for children or gardening.
The house is modest in scale (about 1,195 sq ft) with small-to-medium room sizes and a single family bathroom plus a ground-floor cloakroom WC. These facts make the property ideal for buyers seeking a cosy cottage with scope to update, but may feel limiting for larger families wanting multiple bathrooms or larger rooms.
Important practical points: the property is freehold, has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and sits in an area classified as very deprived which may affect long-term resale or mortgage/insurance considerations for some buyers. Fixtures included are first-floor curtains, most light fittings, fitted flooring and white goods; freestanding wardrobes are negotiable.
