Set within the peaceful Borders countryside, Plot 8 “The Pentlands” is a newly built five-bedroom steading offering spacious, versatile family living across 2,321 sq ft. The open-plan ground floor with double-height glazing frames wide rural views and connects to a private rear garden and off-street parking — a strong option for commuters who want country calm within roughly thirty minutes of Edinburgh.
The house is finished to a high specification with underfloor heating to both floors, an energy-efficient Valliant heat pump and fast fibre broadband. Internally there’s a ground-floor bedroom with ensuite, a large open-plan kitchen/living/dining area with feature glass wall, utility room and three further ground-floor reception/bedrooms; upstairs provides a galleried landing, two double bedrooms with a shared shower room and a flexible home office/bedroom.
Buyers should note some material practicalities: the development uses a private water supply and reed-bed drainage rather than mains sewerage; council tax banding and EPC rating are not yet confirmed; images supplied are computer-generated representations. The location is in an ageing rural neighbourhood within a wider agricultural area and the immediate local area is classified as very deprived, which may affect local services and community resources.
In short, this substantial five-bedroom barn-style steading suits families or buyers seeking roomy rural living with modern energy-efficient systems and scope to personalise fixtures if purchased early in the build. It balances attractive countryside character with contemporary specification, but comes with the practical considerations of private services and a rural setting.
