Description
Moredun Lodge is a large detached house. Originally the coach house for Culter House. It has been significantly extended in the past and has versatile accommodation over two floors. The current owners have carried out significant upgrades including, a new orangery, bespoke kitchen and bifold doors to the courtyard, 3 new bathrooms and two new cloakrooms/wc’s. A new terrace now connects the breakfasting outdoor area to a sunny south facing, entertaining area which overlooks the front lawns.
An impressive entrance hallway has a vaulted ceiling with exposed beam work. A wide open archway leads into the elegant drawing room with an open fireplace. Triple southwest aspect windows provide wonderful garden views. French doors open from the entrance hallway to the inner hall which also provides French door access to the sunny courtyard. The beautifully appointed kitchen has a comprehensive range of base, drawer and wall units with an integrated fridge and dishwasher, along with an American style fridge freezer. A large central island provides a lovely casual family dining space. There is an AGA cooker complemented by two Neff ovens, a warming drawer and induction hob. There are bifold doors leading to the courtyard which in summer is a wonderfully secluded area for BBQ’s and family parties. There are also French doors leading to the orangery. These three connecting areas provide a fabulous living space. The orangery has extensive sliding patio doors opening onto the terrace which is a wonderful alfresco spot to enjoy the peaceful surrounding garden grounds. It also has underfloor heating and a living flame Dru fire. The ground floor is completed by a formal dining room, a sitting room and a library/office, all with beautiful views of the garden.
