House For Sale £825,000
Wonderful family home with a mature south facing garden in a quiet countryside location close to Edinburgh
Description
The Stables is a wonderful family home with the original part of the building dating back to 1897 when it was the stable block to the adjacent Mauricewood House. The Stables has accommodation over two floors and is well suited to a modern family lifestyle with open plan living and entertaining spaces along with generous bedrooms.
The current owners have created a wonderful open plan kitchen / family area which was once three separate rooms. The kitchen sits centrally in the room with a large island in the middle and dining space to one end. The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditionally styled units and a Silestone worktop. Integrated appliances include an Everhot range with three ovens, hot plate and induction hob, AEG dishwasher and wine fridge, and a Samsung American style fridge. The kitchen links to the conservatory through bi-fold doors and there are doors from here into the garden.
The hallway sits centrally within the house and from here the staircase rises to the first floor. Off the hallway is the utility room, cloakroom and the principal bedroom. The utility room accesses the garden and has a range of storage cupboards along with a washing machine. It is also where the boiler (two years old) is located. The cloakroom is to the other end of the hallway and features panelled walls, a WC and wash hand basin.
The principal bedroom is a wonderful space with French doors to the garden. There are plantation style shutters across the doors and a separate dressing area with lots of storage. Beyond is a very generous en suite with walk in shower and underfloor heating.
The more formal sitting room is on the first floor and overlooks the garden. It has an open fire and bookshelves as well as an outdoor deck overlooking the garden. There are three further double bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has an en suite, and there is a good-sized family bathroom. The bedrooms all have built in wardrobes and a different outlook over the surrounding garden and countryside.
To the front of The Stables is a substantial gravel driveway with space for several vehicles and access to the double garage. On the south side of the house is an extensive lawned garden with large wraparound terrace where outdoor dining and entertaining can be enjoyed. The garden is ideal for a growing family and is safely enclosed by a timber fence.
Location
The Stables has a lovely quiet, countryside setting just 4 miles from the outskirts of Edinburgh at the foot of the Pentland Hills. The house has a very rural feel and there are plenty of outdoor activities on the doorstep, but it also benefits from excellent access to the local town of Penicuik and Edinburgh itself.
The centre of the historic town of Penicuik, once a centre for paper mills, is less than 2 miles away. The town offers a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, cafés, primary and secondary schools and leisure facilities. These services are further enhanced in nearby Roslin and Straiton which is located 4 miles away. All the fee-paying schools in Edinburgh are within easy reach. The property is extremely well situated for access to the Edinburgh City Bypass (A720) and the city centre (9 miles). The bypass is just over 4 miles to the north and gives access to the south, east and west of the city, Edinburgh International Airport and the motorway network. The A702 and A701 provide good links to the M74 to the south.
