Bright, modern detached family home in a sought-after Penicuik development, finished to a high specification and ready to move into. The ground floor benefits from an ultra-modern kitchen with top-tier appliances and bi-folding doors that open to an enclosed rear garden, creating a good flow for family life and entertaining. A converted garage adds flexible living space suitable as a playroom, home office or snug.
Upstairs, four bedrooms include built-in wardrobes and a principal suite with a luxurious en-suite and walk-in shower. The property is energy efficient, has gas central heating and double glazing, and sits in a pleasant setting with open views to the rear toward countryside. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, supporting home working and streaming.
Practical points for buyers: the home is freehold and newly renovated, with a block‑paved driveway for two cars and a low‑maintenance front garden. The development is factored at approximately £40 per annum plus a £100 float. There is no flood risk recorded.
Important considerations: the overall internal size is relatively small (approximately 984 sq ft) for a four-bedroom detached house, and council tax is noted as expensive. Local socio-economic data shows the wider area classified as “very deprived,” which may affect long-term resale perceptions for some buyers. These factors are balanced against strong finishes, energy efficiency and a highly desirable school catchment.
