5 bedroom detached house for sale

Welcome to Owlsgate

Just short drive from the market town of Haddington, Owlsgate represents a unique and versatile detached family home with four bedrooms, including a luxurious principal suite, a four-piece family bathroom, and impressive living spaces with a social flowing arrangement. Accompanying this exclusive residence is a generous south-facing garden, a sizeable driveway, and a large detached garage with a gym. The current owners acquired the property in 2019 and have undertaken significant modernization works, including the enhancement of the kitchen and the establishment of an open-plan living area that now features a spacious family room/conservatory with a distinctive wood-burning stove—perfect for cozy winter evenings. Externally, the property is situated within expansive garden grounds, offering additional versatility with a valuable paddock that can be utilized for various purposes. Due to its semi-rural setting, the property is poised to attract a diverse range of potential buyers, appealing to those seeking picturesque country living while remaining conveniently close to city amenities.

Family Life & Entertaining - Inside, you are greeted by a porch with a handy cloakroom and boot room. From here, you are led through the dining kitchen flowing freely into a family room (with built-in storage) and to a southerly-facing conservatory, which all enjoy an open-plan layout. This exceptionally bright and welcoming space represents the social heart of the home, with versatile zones for dining and relaxation centered around the statement feature of a contemporary logburning stove. A separate, more formal sitting room, with a southerly-facing aspect, leads off the family room, as does the kitchen.

High-End Contemporary Kitchen - Framed by swathes of glazing and fitted around a central dining area with a log-burning stove, the southerly-facing kitchen represents a relaxed homely space for casual family meals. Here, banks of sleek mattgraphite cabinets with illuminated engineered worktops are neatly integrated with appliances to create a seamless finish. The integrated appliances include an induction hob, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, and double ovens/ microwave/plate warming drawer. The kitchen also benefits from a large pantry. Discreet space for laundry appliances is provided in an adjoining utility room. Also reached from the kitchen is a deep pantry cupboard, and a hall with external access leading to a sunroom overlooking the garden.

The Bedrooms - Also located at ground level are three of the four generous double bedrooms on offer, all of which are carpeted for optimum comfort. These bedrooms (two with storage) are served by a bright family bathroom featuring a bath and separate shower.

The Prinicpal Suite - The first floor is dedicated entirely to the principal suite. Reached from a landing, this wonderfully private space boasts a large, dual-aspect bedroom with fitted wardrobes neighboured by a WC and a bright dressing room with an en-suite shower room. The dressing room and its isolated position also lend itself to home working, if required.

Outside Space - Outside, backed by open countryside, is a generous garden featuring a neat lawn, a vegetable patch with raised beds, and fruit trees (including plum tree and apple trees). In addition, the garden benefits from two decked areas, one consisting of an outdoor kitchen with views to Traprain Law, as well as a sunken seating area to catch the majority of the summer sun. To the front, there is also a large paddock that is private to the property. Private parking for multiple vehicles is provided via a gated, gravelled driveway and a triple garage. The garage has also been converted to accommodate a gym (alongside the garage area), as well as a workshop and WC.

Extras: Included in the sale are all fitted floor coverings, blinds, and integrated appliances.
