Attractive detached stone-built family home only 3.3 miles from the city bypass and on the edge of the Pentland Hills Regional Park.
House O'Muir Cottage is an attractive stone built family home dating from about 1895 which has been recently updated to be served by energy efficient ground source heat pumps. The spacious accommodation, originally a pair of two storey cottages, has been extended to include a garden room and a single storey bedroom wing. The accommodation is flexible and can be configured to suit a range of requirements.
The hub of the house is the centrally positioned family dining kitchen which is fitted with a range of contemporary base and tall units from Kitchens International with a Corian worktop and twin sinks. Smeg appliances include a range cooker with electric oven and six gas burners with extractor over, a dishwasher and a Siemens combi oven/microwave. There is also a multi fuel stove.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the Mozolowski & Murray garden room which forms the main entrance to the property. This lovely space has a Stovax multifuel stove and wonderful views over the back garden.
There is also a more formal double aspect sitting room with double doors to the garden and a decorative fireplace. This also acts as a link way to the fifth bedroom, back door and utility room. In recent years the south end of the house has been self-contained and successfully rented as a studio with kitchen and shower room.
The principal bedroom is located at the other end of the house and has an en suite bathroom with roll top bath, separate shower and fitted wardrobes. There are a further two double bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and a family showerroom adjacent. The fourth bedroom is up its own staircase and has an adjacent bathroom.
The gardens which surround the house have been well cared for by the current owners and planted with a variety of colourful plants and shrubs. There are lawns, raised beds, herbaceous borders and well stocked flower beds. At the top of the garden is a summer house which is excellent for outdoor entertaining. In addition there is a further lawn which stretches out to the side of the house where there is a workshop and a garden shed.
