Set on the edge of the Pentland Hills, Redcross House is a substantial, modern detached family home arranged over two storeys and extending to approximately 3,154 sq ft. The house sits within landscaped grounds with a gated driveway, detached double garage and additional outbuildings including a summer house and generator house. South-facing terrace and large formal lawns create a secluded, private setting with uninterrupted hill views — ideal for family outdoor life and entertaining.
Internally the layout balances generous reception space with practical family accommodation. The kitchen/dining room features a large central island and French doors to the garden; separate drawing room, sitting room and family/study provide flexible living. Five bedrooms include a principal suite with excellent wardrobe space and en suite, a second bedroom with en suite, and two further double bedrooms served by a stylish shower room.
Practical advantages include freehold tenure, fast broadband, no flood risk and convenient connections — Edinburgh city centre is about nine miles away, airport 7.5 miles, and Curriehill station nearby. The location suits families drawn to outdoor life, with the Pentland Hills and Threipmuir Reservoir on the doorstep and several well-regarded local and private schools within easy reach.
Notable considerations: council tax is described as quite expensive and the wider locality is classified as an area of deprivation, which may affect resale dynamics. Mobile signal is average. Buyers should satisfy themselves on running costs and any local service provision. Overall this is a large, modern family home in a rare semi-rural setting with strong lifestyle appeal and some cost and locality factors to weigh.
