This rarely available stone-built cottage in Bonaly Steading combines period character with comfortable, low-maintenance living. The single-storey layout and generous living spaces — including a beamed lounge with Inglenook fireplace and a bright conservatory — make it especially appealing to downsizers or buyers seeking a peaceful, well-connected home near the Pentland Hills.
The kitchen is modern and integrated, and the property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, good built-in storage, loft space and a powered garage with water supply. The rear garden is enclosed and landscaped with lawn, patio and mature hedging for privacy; a paved forecourt and private parking sit to the front. Communal courtyards and visitor spaces add convenience within the steading development.
Practical costs and limits are clear: the property is freehold with a low residents’ charge of around £180 per year, but council tax is in Band G and therefore relatively high. The single-storey footprint and the steading setting limit obvious extension potential, so buyers needing extra rooms should consider whether layout changes are acceptable.
Overall, this characterful cottage offers an attractive blend of traditional detail and modern fittings in a desirable, quiet location close to green space and local amenities. It’s well suited to someone prioritising one-level living, garden privacy, and proximity to Edinburgh with easy transport links.
