Conveniently situated in the village of Newbridge, on the outskirts of Edinburgh, this deceptively spacious, detached, five bedroom, three bathroom house, with fully enclosed rear garden, plus garage and off street parking for several vehicles is an understated, yet characterful property, in move-in condition, which will appeal to a broad range of buyers.

Ideally located for easy travel in all directions, being close to the Airport, Ingliston Park & Ride, the City Bypass, M8 and M9. There are frequent buses to and from Edinburgh, Glasgow and many other destinations, besides, with a direct bus service to the Gyle Centre and South Queensferry from outside the house.

Linden Cottage is believed to be a former police office originally; the original property was built in around 1900 and has been subsequently extended, now comprising an internal floor area of almost 200m2 of flexible, versatile accommodation. It benefits from gas central heating (combi boiler), double glazing and an open fire in the sitting room, with the option of installing a wood-burner.

The property lies within the City of Edinburgh Council area, therefore secondary schooling is offered at Craigmount High School, Corstorphine, which is in the top ten Edinburgh city secondary schools. Clifton Hall Independent school is less than two miles from the property.

This home would be ideal for an active family, with a plethora of leisure choices nearby. As well as everything which Edinburgh has to offer, there are plenty of local golf, gym and leisure facilities available, too. The spectacular Edinburgh International Climbing Arena and adjacent, equally spectacular, Lost Shore Surfing Resort are less than 3 miles away; Port Edgar Marina at South Queensferry is only around 4 miles away. For golfers, the Dalmahoy, Ratho Park,Turnhouse and Gogarburn golf clubs are all close by.

An off-road footpath / cycle path runs from Newbridge to South Queensferry and beyond. There are scenic countryside, riverside and canal-side walks within easy distance, including the beautiful, historic Almondell and Calderwood Country Park (4 miles). The Royal Highland Centre at Ingliston hosts a number of events throughout the year, including the prestigious Royal Highland Show. The Bronze Age Huly Hill Cairn and Newbridge Bowling Club are only a 1 minute walk away.

There is no shortage of easily accessible shops with Hermiston Gait, The Gyle Centre, Broxburn and Livingston all being within easy reach.

DOWNSTAIRS: Sizeable front porch and entry hall; large sitting room - with ample space for dining; kitchen-diner with fitted units and range cooker, plumbing for dishwasher; shower room with mixer shower WHB and WC; utility room with fitted cupboards and washing machine; three double bedrooms - one with en-suite shower room and fitted wardrobes. One of the downstairs bedrooms is currently in use as a second sitting room/snug. Staircase with under-stair storage.

UPSTAIRS: Two further double bedrooms (one with a walk-in cupboard) plus a bathroom with WC, WHB and corner bath with hand-held mixer shower fitting.

All five bedrooms are generous in size and will comfortably accommodate a double bed and freestanding furniture, but could alternatively be used as home offices, or additional general living space. The accommodation lends itself well to multi-generational living, or to letting in whole or in part (subject to permissions).

OUTSIDE: There is a single garage with power and light. The rear garden is fully enclosed, with a gravelled additional parking area and double timber gates to the driveway, which in turn has a timber gate.

For the vast majority of the time the location is quiet and peaceful, but due to close proximity to Edinburgh Airport and the Newbridge roundabout, there is intermittent aircraft noise and some busy road traffic at peak times of day.

The range cooker, Samsung fridge-freezer, washing machine and dishwasher (purchased 2024) are included in the sale.
