Superb, substantial five bedroom (two en suite), detached house with enclosed south facing rear garden. Established, leafy cul de sac location, close to Edinburgh and local amenities, yet close to countryside. Priced below Home Report valuation. Flexible entry date.
Located on the outskirts of the sought-after, historic Midlothian town of Dalkeith, giving quick and easy access to Edinburgh city centre, this is a deceptively large (173 m2), well-presented family home, in move-in condition, with no shortage of potential ‘office space’ for those who may wish to work from home.
There are five double bedrooms (two of which are ensuite); plus three reception rooms. Built in 2007 by Walker Homes, this impressive property occupies a quiet spot on the southern edge of this green, established residential area with no properties to the rear of it, and fields beyond.
There are excellent road and public transport links, with frequent buses to Edinburgh city centre, Royal Infirmary and Fort Kinnaird. The nearest train station is Eskbank, with others a short drive away for both the main line, or Borders railway. The nearby Edinburgh city bypass provides excellent road links to all points of the compass and there are miles of dedicated paths for cyclists and walkers to utilise.
Numerous local shopping choices are available within easy walking distance, including Morrisons, Sainsbury’s, Lidl, Aldi and Spar supermarkets in Dalkeith, plus a Tesco superstore 2.5 miles away. Both IKEA and Costco stores are only 6 miles away. Dalkeith Community High School is also within walking distance and, of course, the town offers the usual range of amenities including restaurants, primary schooling, GP’s, vets, pharmacies and dentists. There are several golf courses available within a short distance, including Newbattle, Royal Musselburgh, and Broomieknowe.
Dalkeith dates back to the 15th century, and boasts the beautiful 1,000 acre Dalkeith Country Park at its heart and has a Go Ape treetop challenge. Vogrie Country Park is also less than 4 miles away and the beautiful Scottish Borders lie just to the south.
Accommodation:
The front door opens into the porch, which then leads to the hallway with rear-facing sunny kitchen-diner, utility room, sizeable living room, separate ‘snug’ and WC off. The bright kitchen is well supplied with fitted storage units and equipped with integrated Siemens appliances (gas hob, two integrated electric ovens and integrated dishwasher). The Samsung fridge freezer in the kitchen is also included in the sale.
Upstairs are five generous bedrooms, two of which are en suite. The master ensuite benefits from a bath, with a mixer shower over; there is an additional family bathroom, with separate bath and mixer shower cubicle. The second ensuite shower room cubicle has an electric shower. The front bedrooms have views to Arthur's Seat, Edinburgh, and beyond.
There is abundant built-in storage in this home: all five bedrooms have either fitted wardrobes or a built-in cupboard. Further fitted cupboards can be found in the upstairs landing, sitting room and the downstairs hallway. There is gas-fired central heating throughout powered by a three year old combi boiler, still in warranty, which also provides domestic hot water. The gas fire in the sitting room has been disconnected, but could be reinstated, or replaced with a solid fuel burning stove. The property has timber framed double glazing throughout, except for a new (January 2023), glazed UPVC rear door, with selective pet-flap.
The rear, south facing, garden is fully enclosed and child/pet friendly. It has a seating area and the remainder comprises a mixture of grass and newly planted shrubs, but is really a blank canvas for the new owners. The garden has a mixed tree belt to the south of it, affording a high degree of privacy and screening.
There is an integral double garage, offering a significant footprint, which could possibly be converted to further living space, if desired, subject to consents. It also houses the gas combi boiler. The driveway provides off-road parking for multiple vehicles. If any further storage should be required, there is a large loft space, accessed from the upstairs landing via a pull-down telescopic ladder.
