Kindrochit, Linburn Road, Kirknewton, West Lothian, EH27

Detached house set within a pretty garden close to Edinburgh

Description

Kindrochit was once part of the Linburn Estate and served as the coachman's house. This detached property offers accommodation arranged predominantly over the ground floor. The house is set within beautiful gardens and is bordered by fields and woodland to the south.

The main entrance is situated on the south side of the house. From the porch, an internal vestibule leads into a centrally located hallway. The drawing room faces south and features a bay window overlooking the gardens, as well as an impressive partially raised fireplace.

Opposite the drawing room is a sitting room/dining room, with the kitchen located adjacent. The kitchen is fitted with a range of base and wall-mounted units and connects to a conservatory, which is currently used as a dining area but also offers space for seating.

The ground floor comprises two bedrooms, a home office, and a bathroom. One of the bedrooms connects to a second conservatory on the west side of the house. On the first floor, there is a large double bedroom with a south-facing window overlooking the garden.

The property is accessed from Linburn Road and is set behind decorative wrought-iron gates. There is parking for several vehicles, and access routes are available around both sides of the house. To the south of the house is a large lawn, adjoining a patio and beautifully maintained flower beds. On the west side of the property, there is an outdoor dining patio located next to the garage. A kitchen garden, complete with a greenhouse, is also situated to the west.
