Dating from the 1600s and designed in the Scots Baronial style as a country family seat, this handsome sandstone building has been comprehensively refurbished and restored over the last fourteen years to provide all the comforts of modern family living while retaining many of the original design features and the period character. The renovation project, led by renowned Edinburgh-based architect Lorn Macneal, has won several prestigious awards, and the exceptional interior design has also received industry accolades and featured in magazines. Owned by only a handful of families, this is a unique opportunity to purchase a beautifully restored country house, with substantial private land, within the city of Edinburgh.

In the foothills of the Pentlands and surrounded by over 100 acres of privately-owned land, Woodhall House has an incredibly private and tranquil rural setting but lies less than six miles southwest of the centre of Edinburgh. The city centre and Edinburgh International Airport are each a convenient commute of around 20 mins drive, and there is a regular bus service from the picturesque village of Juniper Green, a five-minute walk from the house across the Water of Leith.

There are several golf courses nearby, including Swanston and Baberton, which is within walking distance, while the Dalmahoy Country Club and Golf Course is 15 minutes' drive. The Craiglockhart Leisure and Tennis Centre, with indoor courts, and Hillend Ski Centre, with dry ski slopes, are both reached within 10 minutes' drive. The Pentland Hills provide endless walks and hiking opportunities as well as access to several reservoirs. To the rear of the house, a woodland path leads to a footbridge across the Water of Leith and the village of Juniper Green, where there are a range of shops and services.

The property is in the catchment for Bonaly Primary School and Firhill High School, and all of Edinburgh's private schools, including Cargilfield Prep School, Merchiston Castle School, George Heriot's School, George Watson's College, St. Georges, Edinburgh Academy and Fettes College, are within easy reach.
