About this property

  • Woodlands is an exceptional, modern detached family villa with a generous plot and spacious accommodation arranged over two floors. The house faces mainly south and therefore gets great natural light throughout the day.

    This wonderful home was built for the current owner in 2000 and has large reception rooms and spacious bedrooms. The main reception hall leads to the principal rooms on the ground floor, with a staircase set centrally leading to a substantial landing and the bedrooms on the first floor.

    The sitting / dining room is a superb space with views over the front and rear gardens with double doors to the rear. The kitchen also looks over the garden and the adjacent informal dining area has sliding doors to the patio. A glass roof over the dining area allows light to flood into both the kitchen and dining space which are open plan. A utility room and cloakroom link back round into the hallway.

    There are six generous double bedrooms on the first floor. The principal bedroom has an en suite bathroom with jacuzzi bath and shower. Of the other five bedrooms, two have en suite shower rooms while the remaining three bedrooms share a family bathroom with bath with shower.

    Surrounding Woodlands are neat and private gardens where the sun can be enjoyed throughout the day. To the back of the house is a large, private patio and lawn leading to a well-kept area of private woodland with fields beyond. There are further lawned gardens to the front with a large driveway which gives access to the garage, also accessed from the utility room.

Local information

  • Newlands is located in an idyllic countryside location between Balerno and Kirknewton and is surrounded by open landscapes and the Pentland Hills to the south. Newlands itself is a relatively new neighbourhood with houses first being built in the 1990s. The property is situated off a quiet public road about 3 miles west of Balerno, a thriving Edinburgh suburb on the edge of the city's greenbelt.
  • Newlands' proximity to Scotland's capital is an obvious attraction, with local bus and rail links (22 minutes) into Edinburgh Waverley, and it is exceptionally well placed for the western outskirts of the city and airport. For those needing access to the north and west the location is ideal, with access to the M8, M9 and to the Queensferry Crossing all in close proximity. There are also park and ride facilities at Hermiston for Edinburgh city centre.
  • Local amenities including both primary and secondary schooling can be found in Balerno and Kirknewton, with a major shopping centre just a few miles away at The Gyle. Merchiston Castle and George Watson's College are all within easy reach and there is a school bus service for George Watson's pupils from the end of the access road. For the sports enthusiast, Dalmahoy Golf and Country Club is within easy reach and countryside walks abound nearby.
