Set within a quiet, semi-rural enclave yet within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh and the city bypass, this substantial five-bedroom detached house offers 3,387 sq ft of family-focused accommodation. The property sits on about 0.32 acres with well-maintained front and rear gardens, a double garage and generous driveway parking. South-west facing rear grounds open to rolling countryside and Pentland views from the first-floor balcony.
Internally the layout suits formal family living and home-working: separate sitting and drawing rooms, a dining room, a large kitchen/breakfast room, study/library, utility and ground-floor WC, with five double bedrooms and four bathrooms upstairs. The finish is modern and well-presented throughout, with standard ceiling heights and large rooms that feel spacious and practical for family life or entertaining.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal—important for remote working—and a double garage plus extensive parking. There is no recorded flood risk. EPC is Band D and Council Tax is Band H, which should be factored into running costs. The wider area is classified as remoter agricultural communities and flagged as a very deprived area for some local indicators; this affects local services and may influence resale for some buyers.
This house will suit buyers seeking a large family home or executive country base who value space, privacy and countryside outlooks while retaining reasonable access to Edinburgh. It is presented for immediate family occupation but will also reward buyers who wish to personalise or upgrade energy performance over time.
