Substantial five-bedroom residence with studio garage and mature woodland garden.
Large detached house — 4,401 sq ft internal floorspace
Five bedrooms, principal with en-suite and dressing room
Approximately 0.3 acre plot with mature woodland and large patio
Detached garage with studio loft — flexible ancillary space
EPC Band D — energy efficiency improvements likely needed
Council Tax Band H — very expensive ongoing running cost
Slow broadband and average mobile signal — limits remote working
Located in rural conservation village; easy access to Edinburgh bypass
Set within the conservation village of West Linton, this substantial five-bedroom detached house offers 4,401 sq ft of living space across three storeys. The principal bedroom occupies the second floor with en-suite and dressing room; two further double bedrooms with en-suites sit on the first floor alongside a landing/library and an additional bedroom/study. Ground-floor living includes a large open-plan living/dining/kitchen, sitting/dining room, family room/gym, utility and WC — flexible for family life or home working.
The house stands on about 0.3 acres with a lawned garden, mature private woodland to the rear, a large patio and a timber hexagonal BBQ hut. A detached garage includes a studio loft, useful for hobbies, storage or potential ancillary accommodation. The property is within easy reach of the Edinburgh bypass while retaining a peaceful rural aspect typical of agricultural and remoter communities.
Buyers should note practical drawbacks: the EPC rating is D and council tax is high (Band H), which will affect running costs. Broadband speeds are slow and mobile signal is only average — important if you rely on fast home internet or mobile working. The property is freehold and shows well for its size, but consider the cost and scope of any energy-efficiency upgrades and the logistics of living in a remoter community with limited local services.
