Set on a quiet corner plot on the edge of Penicuik, this modern four-bedroom detached villa offers flexible family living across two storeys. The ground floor centres on a contemporary kitchen/dining room with bi-folding doors that open onto a landscaped rear garden and raised decking — ideal for summer entertaining and indoor–outdoor family life. A converted garage provides a versatile extra reception room or potential fifth bedroom, adapting easily to changing household needs.
The principal bedroom includes fitted wardrobes and a stylish en-suite shower; three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom sit off a bright galleried landing. Practical touches include a utility room and downstairs cloakroom. Energy efficiency is enhanced by solar panels and an electric car charging point on the extensive driveway that offers parking for multiple vehicles.
Buyers should note a few material points: the garage has been converted, so there is no internal garage parking; council tax is described as quite expensive; and the area classification records high deprivation locally despite a wider “rural white-collar” profile. Overall size is described as average for the development, so this is a family-sized home rather than a large executive residence.
This villa will suit families looking for move-in-ready accommodation with modern finishes, flexible living space and eco-friendly features. It also presents straightforward potential for buyers wanting to adapt the converted garage or personalise finishes. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal add practical benefits for home working and family connectivity.
