Rarely available, this is an extended stone-built semi-detached bungalow (76 sqm) with Victorian character thought to date back to 1890. Planning Permission was granted in November 2023 for an attic conversion to form an additional bedroom, study and bathroom. This property will appeal to purchasers of all age groups seeking easily maintained accommodation all on one level. There is a living room and separate refitted kitchen complete with in-built appliances. Both bedrooms are doubles and the shower room is very modern.

Gas central heating is complemented by a mixture of double glazing (including some Upvc units).

There is a front garden with driveway to the front and a lengthy rear garden which includes a brick-built outhouse.

Once a village, this popular Midlothian town provides several local shops, primary schools one of which is very modern (with leisure centre and swimming pool), park, golf course, and excellent bus services. Owing to its close proximity to the City By-pass and Edinburgh (8 miles), the town has evolved into a popular commuter base. There are frequent bus connections and rail services are now available at Eskbank (one mile). Nearby Dalkeith offers a wider range of retail and social options (with large 24-hour supermarket). It is surrounded by attractive open countryside with a pleasant walkway and cycle path.

The property has been valued at £265,000 and the link to the Home Report is available from the ESPC web site.

The blinds, curtains, light fittings, floor coverings and kitchen appliances are included in the sale.
