Westaway12 Newlands, Kirknewton, Midlothian, EH27 8LR

Westaway is situated within a generous plot in the peaceful development of Newlands, located just outside Balerno on the outskirts of Edinburgh. The house was completed in 1998 and has been extended and modernised over the years by the current owners. Accommodation is across two levels with generous living spaces on the ground floor and comfortable bedrooms on the first floor.

At the heart of the house is a wonderful open plan kitchen with family room beyond. The kitchen is fitted with a range of traditionally styled base and wall mounted units with a laminate work top and central island. Integrated appliances include two Neff ovens, gas hob with extractor above, wine fridge and a dishwasher. The kitchen has plenty of space for a dining table and an archway leads into the bright and spacious family room which has views over the gardens on three aspects as well as French doors. Thanks to four roof lights the space is flooded with natural light and is also kept cosy with a gas fired stove. Adjacent to the kitchen is the formal dining room which faces south and benefits from sunlight throughout much of the day. There are a further two reception rooms off the main hallway with the more formal sitting room having a gas fire and dual aspect with a bay window to the south. The ground floor accommodation is completed with a utility room and cloakroom.

At first floor are five generous bedrooms with the principal bedroom having an en suite bathroom with shower and a separate walk in wardrobe. There are a further two shower rooms off the landing which are shared between the four remaining bedrooms. Each of the bedrooms has a different outlook over the front and rear gardens.

Completing the accommodation is a home office situated above the garage space and accessed by a separate stair from the back of the house. The room has its own toilet with washbasin.

On the south side of the house is a spacious gated gravel driveway with enough parking for several vehicles. The double garage is also accessed from here and there is a lawn either side which wraps round to the back of the house. At the rear is a large expanse of lawn bound by a belt of trees which runs down to the boundary to the north. Immediately surrounding the house are patios and decking which are bathed in sunshine throughout the day. There are also carefully thought out planted borders which provide colour throughout the year. For those keen on fruit and vegetable growing there are also raised beds and a greenhouse.
