Fully renovated in recent years and freshly decorated with minimalist décor, this three-bedroom, two-bathroom detached chalet-bungalow benefits from congenial interconnected living spaces, an enclosed south-facing garden, and garage parking. The exclusive family home is quietly nestled in picturesque West Linton - a village well-served by everyday amenities, less than an hour?s drive from central Edinburgh.
 
Behind the front door, the airy interiors provide an impressive welcome with a double-height entrance hall flowing openly into a spacious and versatile dining/family room with storage and rear garden access. Fanning off this central area is a generous dual-aspect living room with further garden access and a dining kitchen, handily opening onto the driveway and bathed in natural light from multi-aspect windows. The tasteful sage-green kitchen is appointed in a timelessly classic fashion with an immaculate fully integrated finish. Appliances comprise an induction hob, an eye-level double oven, a fridge freezer, and a dishwasher. Next door, a coordinating fitted utility room/WC discreetly houses a freestanding washing machine and tumble dryer. Also found at ground level are two carpeted double bedrooms - one currently used as a home study with fitted shelving and the other, a luxurious principal suite with fitted wardrobes and a bright bathroom featuring a deep bath and separate walk-in shower enclosure. The third spacious double bedroom is also carpeted and found on the first floor, reached via a large, naturally-lit landing with built-in storage and access to a shower room with a rainfall shower. The property is kept warm and efficient by gas central heating and full double-glazing. 
 
Outside, the home is fronted by landscaped planting and to the rear, the south-facing garden is securely enclosed with gated front access. Here, a lawn and seating terrace are hugged by attractive planting. To the side of the property, a driveway (shared with a neighbouring property) leads to a private detached single garage. 

Extras: Included in the sale are all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated/freestanding appliances.
