Spectacular contemporary family home and studio apartment with excellent commuting links into Edinburgh.
The Lodge sits in a beautiful rural south-facing setting with spectacular open views over the surrounding farmland, with Benarty and Cleish Hills as a stunning backdrop. Despite its countryside setting, the house has an abundance of good local services in Kinross and Milnathort, as well as excellent commuting links into Edinburgh. This impressive family house was constructed in 2015 and has been finished to a high standard throughout, with great character including exposed stone feature walls in several of the key rooms. The Lodge also benefits from a self-contained studio apartment situated above the triple garage.
The front doors open up into the magnificent entrance hall with its bespoke spiral staircase leading up to the first floor family room. This room has high vaulted ceilings with full-height south facing windows offering panoramic views over the countryside and to the hills beyond. It is fitted with a log burning stove and offers flexible space, suitable for a variety of uses including a home office. The kitchen / dining room sits off the hall and is fitted with a central island with breakfast bar. Like the other units, the island is topped with granite. Bosch integrated appliances include a combi microwave oven, steam oven and dishwasher, and there is a Rangemaster cooker with gas hob. This open plan room has dining and seating areas. Windows on three aspects overlook the garden and surrounding farmland, with a door leading out to the side of the house. Off the kitchen is a utility room. The sitting room also sits off the entrance hall. South facing floor to ceiling windows offer wonderful views, and it has a log burning stove. Double doors open into a large walk-in store cupboard which also houses the central communications unit.
Beyond the sitting room, a hall leads to the principal bedroom. This spacious and bright room has a log burning stove, feature stone wall and a door leading out to the front of the house. Across the hall is a dressing room, and beyond there is a single bedroom and bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower cubicle. Another hall from the central sitting room leads to two further double bedrooms, both of which have fitted wardrobes. One of the rooms has an en suite shower room which has an additional door to the entrance hall. There is a further family bathroom servicing the other bedroom.
Situated above the triple garage is a self-contained studio apartment. It has a hall with store cupboard, shower room, and a studio room with plenty of space for use as a bedroom and sitting room. It is fitted with a small kitchenette. The triple garage below has an internal plant room which houses the oil-fired boiler and hot water cylinder.
The beautiful gardens at The Lodge extend to about 1.4 acres in all. A private tree-lined drive passes through stone entrance pillars and sweeps alongside the front garden. It passes through a second set of stone pillars with gate, and leads up to the front of the house where there is ample parking, and access to the garage. The front garden is south facing and interspersed with trees. The rear garden has a band of mature broadleaf trees beyond it, providing the house shelter from the north.
