House For Sale £695,000
Detached family home of about 3,770 sq ft with superb countryside views and a semi-rural setting close to Edinburgh
Location
Newlands is located in an idyllic countryside location between Balerno and Kirknewton and is surrounded by open landscapes and the Pentland Hills to the south. Newlands itself is a relatively new neighbourhood with houses first being built in the 1990s. The property is situated off a quiet public road about 3 miles west of Balerno, a thriving Edinburgh suburb on the edge of Edinburgh's greenbelt.
Its proximity to Scotland's capital is an obvious attraction, being a mere 12 miles from the city centre, and it is exceptionally well placed for the western outskirts of the city and Airport. For those needing access to the north and west the location is ideal, with access on to the M8 and to the Queensferry Crossing both in close proximity. There are park and ride facilities at Hermiston for Edinburgh city centre.
Local amenities including both primary and secondary schooling can be found in both Kirknewton and Balerno, with a major shopping centre about 10 miles away at The Gyle. Merchiston Castle and George Watson's College are all within easy reach and there is a school bus service for George Watson's pupils from the end of the access road. For the sports enthusiast, Dalmahoy Golf and Country Club is within easy reach and countryside walks abound nearby.
Description
Outfield is an attractive detached house with a generous plot and spacious family accommodation arranged over two floors. The house faces mainly east and west and therefore gets great natural light throughout the day. To the front of the house is a spacious vestibule and main hallway with two fabulous reception rooms off either side. The drawing room has an open fire, bay window and French doors out to the garden. The room is double aspect and has a beautiful stone mantelpiece set above the open fire. The dining room is another fine space and accessed by double doors.
The kitchen / breakfast room is a large open plan space with doors to the garden with contemporary units topped with both composite stone and oak. There are a range of fitted modern appliances which include a Bosch oven, Bosch microwave, Bosch warming drawer, wine cooler, Neff extractor fan and Neff induction hob. The kitchen has lots of space for a breakfast table and also has a breakfast bar. There is a more informal sitting room overlooking the back garden which has a wood burning stove installed. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a home office, utility room and shower room.
Outfield has five generous bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom and also has plenty of space for a sitting / dressing area. Of the other four bedrooms one has en suite facilities while the remaining three bedrooms share a centrally located family bathroom. The bedrooms all benefit from a slightly different outlook over the surrounding countryside.
Surrounding Outfield are well kept and private gardens where the sun can be enjoyed all day. To the back of the house and on the west side is a lawn and patio which is bordered by fields. On the north side of the property is a further lawn and spacious driveway which gives access to the double garage, also accessed from the utility room to the house. To the south and east of the house are further lawned areas with mature shrubs and trees.
