Contemporary family house with separate studio and excellent commuting links into Edinburgh.

Description

Levenmouth Cottage is a stunning, detached family house with modern and spacious open plan living space. The house has been finished to a high standard throughout, having been built in 2017. It sits in a rural hamlet with attractive outlooks over the neighbouring fields, and has excellent commuting links into Edinburgh to the south, and Perth to the north via the M90.

The front vestibule opens up into the spacious entrance hall which is overlooked by a full height window stretching to the first floor ceiling which provides an abundance of natural light and views over the garden. Double doors open up into the superb, open-plan kitchen / dining / family room. The kitchen area is fitted with integrated Neff appliances including electric oven, steam oven, microwave and wine cooler. There is an excellent range of fitted kitchen units, including an L-shaped island with breakfast bar, all with quartz worktops. At the living end of the room there is a log burner and large windows in the corners to the south, east and west. Double patio doors lead out to the front of the house. There is a useful ground floor bedroom with an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobe. Other rooms off the back hallway include a WC, utility room, boot room and a generous storage cupboard.

A contemporary wooden staircase leads up from the entrance hall to the first floor galleried landing where there are rural views over the neighbouring fields; off the landing is the sitting room. Doors open onto a charming west facing balcony. The principal bedroom suite spans the southern end of the house, with a further west-facing Juliet balcony. There is a spacious dressing area with excellent wardrobe provision, which leads around to the en suite shower room. There are three further bedrooms on this level, two of the three with fitted wardrobes. The fifth bedroom is currently used as a study. The family bathroom sits off the landing / sitting room and has a bath as well as a separate shower.

The driveway sweeps past the front of the house, and around to the detached double garage which has a EV car chargepoint (installed in 2025). An external metal staircase to the side leads up to the versatile studio above. This offers excellent potential to be converted and utilised as additional accommodation.

The main garden runs to the east and south of the house, and is flanked by well stocked borders with the neighbouring fields beyond the fencing. At one end of the rear garden is a summerhouse and patio, with a further patio at the other. An additional outdoor seating area sits to the west / front of the house to make the most of the evening sun.
