5 The Brambles, Whitehill, Dalkeith, EH22 2QL

McEwan Fraser Legal are delighted to present this substantial, five-bedroom, detached villa located in the beautiful and peaceful rural village of Whitehill. The location, backing onto open countryside, gives open aspects across the surrounding countryside and towards the Forth Estuary. The Brambles is a small exclusive development of five similar houses on the edge of the village.

Internally, the property offers superb proportions for a family with extensive accommodation over two floors. Viewing will be essential to appreciate both the scale of the property and the magnificent setting.

The ground floor is naturally focused on family and entertaining space. A central hallway, with integrated storage and WC, separates the more formal living room at the front of the property from a substantial combined kitchen/dining/family room to the rear.

The living room faces the front of the property. Naturally bright due to a large bay window, the living room is neutrally finished and enjoys excellent floor space, providing the flexibility for a variety of different furniture configurations. The proportions on offer will give the new owner plenty of flexibility to create their ideal space.

Across the hall, you find a generous kitchen that overlooks the rear garden. The kitchen includes a range of base-mounted units that provide a huge amount of storage and worksurface space. The hob, double oven, cooker hood and dishwasher are integrated. Further space is provided for a free-standing fridge freezer. Laundry facilities and further storage can be found in the attached utility room. To one side, the kitchen has been opened into the dining/family room. This creates a free-flowing living space that is sure to become the centre piece of family life. The dining area, closest to the kitchen, can easily accommodate a large style dining table. Moving further into the room, you find yourself in a cathedral-style sunroom with high ceilings and windows on all sides. A log-burning stove creates a natural focal point around which you can house a full-sized suite.

The ground floor accommodation is completed by a substantial ground floor study which could comfortably be repurposed as a fifth double bedroom or an additional public room.

The first-floor houses 4 double bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, and the family bathroom. The front-facing master bedroom is particularly spacious and includes a dressing area with two large integrated wardrobes, plenty of floor space for a full suite of free-standing bedroom furniture and also includes access to a contemporary en-suite shower room which is partially tiled. The second bedroom is a further large double bedroom with integrated wardrobe and access to an en-suite shower room. The third and fourth double bedrooms also benefit from integrated wardrobes. The accommodation on this floor is completed by the family bathroom with includes a corner bath, separate shower cubicle, and is finished with partial tiling.

Externally, the property sits on a wide plot with a mature wrap-around garden. A monobloc driveway can easily accommodate two cars and gives access to a two-car integral garage which can also be accessed from the main hallway inside the house.
