Description
Fernielaw House is an exceptional B listed 18th Century country mansion house set within the desirable residential suburb of Colinton.
The house has retained many of the original features of this period including stone dressings, crow stepped gables and twelve paned sash and case windows.
The accommodation is set over three floors and offers spacious and flexible family living, ideal for modern living and entertaining. There are three generous reception rooms with up to five bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The main entrance with large wooden oak door is reached via a grand set of granite steps.
On the ground floor the hallway opens into a welcoming entrance vestibule which has space for a sofa and there is a charming wood burning stove. There is a large open plan living, dining room and kitchen on the ground floor, which is the heart of the home. There is a door to the south-facing garden from this room. There is a formal dining room to the front and a spacious double bedroom to the rear, with a modern en-suite shower room. A useful utility room completes the ground floor accommodation. There is a separate toilet area offset from the entrance and hallway. A turned stone stair leads to the upper floors with a large discrete walk in cupboard nestled underneath the stairwell.
On the first floor there is the principal reception room, with aspects on two sides flooding the room with natural light. Windows to the north look back down the driveway towards Colinton Village with views of the Forth Valley and the city, whilst there is a fantastic bay window to the south with extensive views across the Pentland Hills. Also on the first floor there is a hallway with a large king size bedroom with windows and fire place to the rear of the house and a smaller double bedroom opposite this which is currently being used as a study. At the end of the hallway is a large bathroom with bath and standalone shower.
On the second floor there is a further king size bedroom and a double bedroom. There is the third bathroom offset.
Fernielaw House sits in generous private grounds which extend to approximately 0.35 acres.
The house and gardens face south and north and are flooded with sunlight throughout the day. There are expanses of lawn with planted borders and mature hedges and trees offering shade and privacy, with dedicated patio areas and a summer house. There is a hidden garden tucked away at the bottom of the garden.
Gates open onto a large driveway with space for at least six vehicles. There is a detached double garage, which has the potential to be converted into further accommodation, subject to the necessary consents. There is a second gate and driveway to the rear of the house.
