Mill Cottage is a charming detached period home dating from the 1870s, quietly positioned in Lasswade with attractive cottage character and a south-facing enclosed garden. The living room and modern dining kitchen both open onto the garden via French doors, creating a pleasant indoor‑outdoor flow for family life and entertaining. The master bedroom benefits from a walk-in closet and a west-facing balcony; two further double bedrooms and an extensively floored loft provide flexible accommodation.
The house has been sympathetically modernised with an ultra‑modern fitted kitchen, contemporary bathroom with walk-in shower, gas central heating and double glazing, so it is largely move‑in ready. Practical extras include off‑street parking and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity — useful for commuters and home workers travelling into Edinburgh in around thirty minutes.
Notable considerations are factual and important: the property has a single bathroom and one downstairs WC only, and the surrounding area scores high on deprivation indices which may influence resale or let demand. Council tax is above average and, as a 19th‑century building, any future works should account for period maintenance and potential planning constraints for extensions. There is obvious uplift potential through further internal modernisation or sympathetic extension, subject to permissions.
Overall, this mid‑sized detached cottage will suit a couple or small family seeking character, privacy and good commuter links to the city, or buyers wanting a period property with modern comforts and scope to add value with considered improvements.
