McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present this exceptional six-bedroom detached family home with an optional 1.1 acres of adjoining land. The property set within a picturesque countryside location less than 30 minutes from Edinburgh and enjoying breathtaking panoramic views from the Moorfoot Hills across to the Pentland Hills.

Tweeddale Burn Cottage is a beautifully presented and substantial family home that has evolved from its historic origins as a traditional country cottage. Thoughtfully extended over the years, the property now offers generous and highly versatile accommodation ideally suited to modern family living, while still retaining much of its original charm and character. The home sits beside Tweeddale Burn in a peaceful rural setting and benefits from outstanding views across the surrounding countryside. Nearby, Gladhouse Reservoir provides excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation and is popular for water sports, walking and family days out.

The property is approached via a private driveway, which leads to the main front door and a welcoming entrance hallway. Ahead of you is the spacious family kitchen, truly the heart of the home, designed in a cottage style that complements the original character of the property while offering modern convenience.

The kitchen is fitted with a wide range of units and integrated appliances, including an oven, microwave, induction hob, extractor hood and dishwasher. With generous space for dining and everyday family living, this welcoming kitchen naturally becomes the central hub of the home. It flows seamlessly into a bright and comfortable family area, creating an excellent open environment for both family life and entertaining.

From here, the accommodation continues into an impressive and light-filled living room, a substantial and flexible space that is ideal for relaxing, entertaining guests, or simply enjoying the surrounding views. Completing the ground floor is a practical utility room, a separate WC and a versatile storage or study room.

A particularly attractive feature is the large ground-floor double bedroom with an en-suite bathroom with wash basin and WC, located within the original cottage section of the property and offering ideal accommodation for guests or multi-generational living.

A staircase from the hallway leads to the first floor, where the remaining bedrooms are located. There are three spacious double bedrooms with built-in wardrobe space, one of which benefits from its own en-suite shower room with wash basin and WC. Two further bedrooms offer excellent flexibility and could easily be utilised as children’s rooms, playrooms or home offices. An additional storage room could also be adapted for use as a study. The accommodation is completed by a well-appointed family bathroom featuring a bath, separate shower cubicle, wash basin and WC.

The property benefits from double glazing throughout and is heated via an efficient biomass central heating system. A septic tank system is in place and supported by a maintenance contract. There is a private water supply, meaning the property enjoys a significant saving on council tax.

Externally, the home sits within generous grounds with a detached double garage with electric doors and an EV charger positioned to the side of the property. The rear garden is enclosed and provides a private outdoor space ideal for families, while the front garden features a low-maintenance lawn. In addition, the property benefits from an optional adjoining plot of land measuring approximately 1.1 acres, offering excellent potential for a variety of uses.

This outstanding home offers a rare combination of space, flexibility, land and spectacular views, all within easy reach of Edinburgh, making it an ideal choice for families seeking a peaceful countryside lifestyle without sacrificing accessibility.
