    About this property

    • Old Lennie School House is a beautiful detached former Schoolhouse, rich in character and history, with origins dating back to 1819. Situated near the wonderful Cammo area and within easy reach of Edinburgh City Centre, this unique home has been thoughtfully renovated throughout, offering flexible accommodation across two floors. With generous off street parking, substantial garaging, and beautifully landscaped walled gardens, it provides an exceptional blend of period charm and modern comfort.

      Set behind secure walls and accessed via an electric gate, the property opens onto a gravelled driveway leading to an impressive five car garage. This versatile space lends itself perfectly to a home business, workshop, or studio.

      Once inside, Old Lennie School House exudes warmth and individuality. A series of distinct living areas makes the layout ideal for family life or for those seeking separate spaces for work, relaxation, and entertaining. The double-height living room is a standout room, featuring a wood burning stove and a generous mezzanine overhead - a characterful space well suited for use as a library, home office, or cinema.

      The separate dining kitchen is spacious and well appointed, complemented by a practical utility room. The principal bedroom enjoys an ensuite bathroom and dressing room, while three additional bedrooms provide excellent flexibility. The current configuration includes two bedrooms, two offices, and two lounge areas, showcasing the adaptability of the accommodation.

      Outside, the property benefits from mature, south facing gardens that have been thoughtfully landscaped to create a beautiful, tranquil green space - perfect for outdoor dining, relaxation, or keen gardeners.

      This is a property that really does require in person viewing to fully appreciate its secluded, wrap around gardens and how quiet it is, despite its proximity to the airport.
