Key information
Property description & features
Berryknowe Cottage presents a fantastic opportunity to create a country home in a rural setting.
Previously a farm steading, the cottage was renovated and extended 20 years ago to create a detached and spacious single storey dwelling. It is constructed of stone under a pitched slate roof, and is double glazed throughout with a mixture of timber and UPVC windows.
The accommodation comprises an open plan living/dining/kitchen space, utility room, 3 bedrooms and a bathroom. A floored roof space, accessed via Bedroom 2, provides storage above Bedrooms 2 and 3.
The cottage has internal features that include
full height spaces, exposed stonework, a wood-burning stove and a reclaimed gymnasium timber floor, which runs throughout the cottage.
Situated on the edge of the A70 within the Pentlands Regional Park, Wester Causewayend provides rural living within 40 minutes of Edinburgh city centre.
Kirknewton caters for everyday requirements with a grocery shop, bank and post office. Primary and secondary education is available at Kirknewton and nearby Balerno. Many private schools are within easy reach including Merchiston Castle School, Clifton Hall School, Mary Erskine and George Watsons College.
Livingston has a wide range of shops and services, including the Almondvale Shopping Centre and Designer Outlet. In addition, there are shops, leisure facilities and a public hospital.
Both Edinburgh and Glasgow are easily accessible making it a very attractive location for commuting with the M8, M9 and Edinburgh Bypass only a short distance away. There is also a train station at Kirknewton with regular services to Edinburgh. Edinburgh International Airport has regular flights to a range of UK, European and worldwide destinations.
For outdoor sports enthusiasts, there are several local golf courses, including the Championship course of Dalmahoy and the popular Deer Park course at Livingston. Hill walking and mountain biking can be enjoyed in the Pentland Hills, and trout fishing is available in nearby lochs and reservoirs, including Beecraigs, Linlithgow and Harperrig. Field sports are also available at the
Harburn Estate.
French doors lead to a sheltered, south-facing garden which is mainly laid to lawn, with a paved patio for outdoor dining. In addition, there is parking, a drying green and paddock extending to approximately 4.11 acres.
The land is categorised as grade 5 by the James Hutton Institute, and is therefore best suited for use as improved grassland.
An agreement is in place over the land, in favour of the previous owner, which restricts the use to agricultural, amenity and recreational use.
Until February 2021, the cottage was let under a Short Assured Tenancy.

Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
