**Closing date - Thursday 21 July 12noon** Charming stone built cottage situated in sought after North Queensferry
Fourteen Falls is a well-presented period cottage, full of character and charm. The house originally consisted of a single storey dwelling and was built in around 1705. In the later part of the 18th century the property was extended to include a second floor. Fourteen Falls is constructed of whinstone and sandstone with a slate and timber roof and has not been sold on the open market since the 1960s. The previous owners lived in Fourteen Falls from the 1960s until September 2014 when the current owners bought the property privately.
Stone steps from the garden lead up to the front door. The front door opens into a porch, with the kitchen /dining room on the right and sitting room to the left. The kitchen was renovated in 2015 with a bespoke handmade German Häcker kitchen installed. Enjoying double aspect views across to the Forth Rail Bridge, the kitchen also has space for a dining table. Appliances include a Neff oven and Neff grill / microwave, integrated Siemens fridge freezer, Siemens extractor fan, Neff induction hob, space for a dishwasher and 1.5 Blanko sink. By the front door there is a hatch to a partially floored attic which provides good storage.
The sitting room is large and has superb views towards the Firth of Forth. There is a wooden mantelpiece with a wood burning stove. A door leads to the stairs to the lower ground floor. Under the stairs on the lower ground floor is plenty of space to put a desk for study space. There are two double bedrooms both with large fitted wardrobes. Bedroom 3 is smaller and would be an ideal home office. There is a modern bathroom which the owners upgraded in 2019 and which includes a large bathtub with a shower head above, wash basin unit and WC as well as electric underfloor heating. From the hall there is a cupboard housing the boiler. In front of the stairs is the back door leading to an outdoor enclosed store. This leads onto the lane at the back of the house.
There is a large, well-established garden in front of the house with plenty of space for off street parking. The garden faces towards the Firth of Forth and has views of the water from certain parts of the garden. There is a beautiful wooden built summerhouse and outdoor shed. There is also an outdoor WC/store and coal bunker/store under the front steps.

I absolutely love this cottage. I love the large south facing garden looking towards the Firth of Forth.
