The recreational facilities in the immediate area are good. Hillend dry ski slope is off the A702 on the near side of the bypass. There are a number of local golf courses including Glencorse and West Linton, while all the links courses of East Lothian are also accessible. There is excellent and extensive walking in the Pentland Hills Regional Park from the doorstep of the property and from Flotterstone. Also on the doorstep is the old Roman road which gives pedestrian access into West Linton.

Description

Hazlieburn dates from 1889 and is built of stone under a slate roof. The house itself has spacious accommodation of over 6,000 sq ft arranged over two floors. The house has many attractive period features throughout and well-proportioned rooms with most of the reception rooms having open fires / wood burning stoves and a bay window over the gardens. On entering the property there is a vestibule with cloakroom located off, which opens into a wonderful reception hallway with wood panelling and open fire. The drawing room and dining room are both situated off the main hall with the kitchen located off the dining room. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall mounted units with a granite work surface and range cooker. There is a library off the back hallway which has a fireplace and fitted bookshelves. The ground floor also has a sitting room which faces east over the garden and catches the morning sun. Towards the back of the house is a utility room and covered porch with access to the meter cupboard and wood shed.

The first floor has six double bedrooms which are serviced by three family bathrooms. Each of the bedrooms has a very different outlook onto different parts of the garden. There is a guest wing with two bedrooms, a sitting room, bathroom and kitchen. This wing links to the landing and can also be accessed by the back staircase.

The grounds which surround Hazlieburn are full of mature shrubs and trees which provide the house with both shelter and privacy. To the east of the house is a large flat lawn with an area of woodland beyond. On the south side of the house is a gravel driveway which loops round the back to the rear courtyard and garaging. Adjacent to the lawn is a splendid Mozlowski & Murray greenhouse along with raised beds and ample space for growing a variety of fruit and vegetables.

Beyond the two cottages is a paddock of about 1.2 acres with a timber stable block and machinery store adjacent. Hazlieburn also has its own pond which is fed by the Harlawmuir Burn and is a haven for wildlife. To the north of the pond is a large field of about 17.1 acres which has an access off the A702 at the north and south ends.

Both Hazlieburn Cottage and Dove Cottage sit to the north of Hazlieburn itself. Both have their own gardens and have in the past provided a rental income having been let on a long term basis.
