5 bedroom detached house

Offering an ideal home for the modern family, this five-bedroom, four-bathroom, three reception room executive detached house is situated within a contemporary development on the edge of Balerno, built by CALA Homes in 2021. The home lies within easy reach of Balerno’s amenities and the Pentland Hills Regional Park, as well as being a short drive or bus journey from the city centre.

The home is fronted by a large driveway and manicured lawns, and the front door is tucked under a porch. You are welcomed inside by a practical entrance vestibule (with storage) flowing through to an airy entrance reception hall with space for furniture items and a WC cloakroom. The hall sets the tone for the immaculate interiors to follow with muted décor and herringbone Amtico flooring.

The house boasts three well-proportioned and multi-purpose reception rooms comprising a living room, a formal dining room, and a sitting room/study. The living room is lit by triple-aspect glazing, including four south-facing windows and French doors affording access to the garden, and offers a wonderfully flexible floorspace for a choice of lounge furniture layouts. A separate formal dining room creates the perfect space for sit-down meals and entertaining with family and friends, with ample space for a large dining table and chairs alongside additional furniture. The third room offers various options for use, including a more formal sitting area, a family room, a children’s play room, or, as it is currently used, a study – perfect for those requiring a quiet space to work or study from home.

Set to the rear of the property, the open-plan kitchen and dining room features fabulous bi-folding doors opening onto the rear garden, allowing for sought-after indoor/outdoor living and creating an enviable space for gatherings and family time during the warmer months. The beautifully appointed kitchen is fitted with contemporary handle-less cabinetry in muted tones, supplemented by spacious, waterfall Silestone worktops and a full complement of integrated appliances. There is space for a six-seater table to cater for morning coffee, breakfasts, and casual dining, whilst an adjoining sitting area can accommodate a cosy lounge setting. An adjoining utility room (with external access) supplements the kitchen with additional cabinetry and space for laundry appliances.

From the hall, a bifurcated staircase leads to a landing (with storage) on the first-floor with a snug area/reading nook set next to French doors opening onto a small balcony. The bedrooms are all spacious doubles with neutral décor and fitted carpets, and three feature built-in wardrobes. The principal bedroom has the additional luxuries of a dressing area and a four-piece en-suite bathroom, whilst two of the remaining bedrooms also have en-suites. Three of the bedrooms are rear-facing, peacefully overlooking the garden and boasting a sunny aspect.

The principal bedroom’s en-suite boasts a large enclosure with a rainfall showerhead, a separate bathtub, twin sinks set into vanity storage, and a concealed-cistern WC. Bedrooms two and three’s en-suite shower rooms come complete with shower enclosures and WC-suites, whilst a separate family bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with a shower attachment, a shower cubicle, a WC-suite, and a tall chrome towel radiator.

A detached garage (with an EV charger) offers private off-street parking at ground level, with a flexible living space above comprising a large studio area and a shower room. A large, multi-car driveway (with electric gates) facilitates further off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

The home is perfectly complemented by a large, securely fenced rear garden, boasting an enviable south-facing aspect and predominantly featuring an exceptionally spacious, well-maintained lawn, with patio areas for outdoor seating and barbecues.

Extras: Integrated kitchen appliances comprising an oven, a microwave, an induction hob, an extractor hood, two fridge/freezers, a dishwasher, and a wine cooler will be included in the sale. Please note, no warranties or guarantees shall be provided for the appliances.
