Description

Dating from 1885, Inveresk Gate is an elegant and characterful residence forming part of an exclusive conversion within the highly regarded Inveresk Estate. Converted in 1999 into seven individual homes, the building retains a wealth of fine period features, seamlessly combined with the comforts expected of modern living. Occupying an elevated position, the property sits within approximately thirty acres of beautifully maintained communal grounds, creating a peaceful and highly desirable setting.

Entered through secure electronic gates, the sweeping approach immediately sets the tone. The front of the property enjoys an open outlook across the formal lawns, whilst to the rear lies a charming and sheltered courtyard, perfectly positioned to enjoy the sun and shared for the enjoyment of residents.

The accommodation is arranged over two levels and offers a bright and versatile layout. Of particular note is the impressive living and dining room, where a west-facing bay window draws in excellent natural light. The room benefits from a notably private aspect, free from immediate overlooking, creating a peaceful and refined setting equally suited to everyday living and entertaining. The adjacent kitchen/breakfast room is both stylish and practical, featuring natural stone flooring, granite worktops and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances. Completing this level is the well appointed shower room.

The bedroom accommodation is located on the lower level and is exceptionally well-proportioned. The principal bedroom is a standout feature, enjoying a dual aspect which ensures the room is bathed in natural light throughout the day and benefits from unrestricted views across the surrounding landscape, enhancing the sense of space and tranquillity. Generous in scale, the room comfortably accommodates a full complement of bedroom furnishings, creating a calm and inviting retreat.

The second double bedroom is similarly spacious and well-presented, whilst the third bedroom offers flexibility for guests, family, or home working. Completing the accommodation is a beautifully appointed contemporary family bathroom, finished in elegant Travertine stone tiling and fitted with a stylish three-piece suite and separate shower.
