5 bedroom detached house

Covering over 1,955 square feet, this executive, five-bedroom, detached house is an exceptional family home for those who require an abundance of space and substantial storage. It is presented with neutral interior design and with high-quality fixtures and fittings; plus, it has generous private parking and a beautiful landscaped garden. Furthermore, the property forms part of an exclusive development, situated by open countryside on the rural outskirts of Dalkeith, yet still within easy reach of amenities and schools and with the benefit of nearby country walks.

Inside, an inviting hall provides under-stair storage and a WC before turning left into the living room. Here, minimalist-inspired decoration creates an elegant aesthetic that is easy to style. It is spacious for comfy lounge furniture and brightly illuminated by a picture window. Plus, there is a log-burning stove for cosy evenings. Double doors lead from this reception area into a well-proportioned dining room for family meals.

Accessed from here or the hall, the breakfasting kitchen and snug share a large open-plan layout, extending into the garden via French doors. This stylish space is equipped with modern cabinets and generous worksurfaces, which incorporate a breakfast peninsula. The sleek and sophisticated look is finished by seamlessly integrated appliances. A wellappointed utility room also supplements the kitchen. The five bedrooms are upstairs off a landing with storage. They are comprised of four airy doubles (three of which are equipped with built-in wardrobes) and a versatile single that is currently arranged as an office. Finished with light decor and plush carpeting, each room continues the home's high standards. In addition, the principal and second bedrooms both come with quality en-suite shower rooms. The remaining bedrooms are served by a modern family bathroom, fitted with storage and a four-piece suite (including a separate shower cubicle).

Outside, the property is flanked by landscaped gardens. The fully-enclosed rear garden is particularly impressive, featuring a southwest-facing aspect, a neat lawn, mature planting, a water feature, and a dining patio. In addition, there is a double driveway and an integrated double garage, one half of which has been converted into generous storage.
