The family house has well-appointed accommodation ideal for a modern lifestyle, with flexible living space encompassing four or five bedrooms. As well as its beautiful rural setting, the house is part of a strong local community with excellent access links into Edinburgh.

The kitchen / dining room acts as the hub of the house, and has fantastic south-facing views over the garden and to the hills beyond thanks to its large floor to ceiling windows. It is fitted with floor and wall units incorporating granite surfaces and a breakfast bar. Integrated appliances include a Stoves Richmond electric range cooker and a Maytag American style fridge freezer. The sitting room sits off the entrance hall and has a good store cupboard and doors leading out onto the south-facing patio. A WC also sits off the entrance hall, as well as stairs leading up to the first floor. A corridor from the kitchen leads to the study / bedroom 5 and utility room which has a door leading into the garage.

The principal bedroom suite sits off the first floor landing, and has southerly views towards the hills beyond. It has an en suite shower room and fitted wardrobe. There are three further double bedrooms and a family bathroom which has a bath with shower over. Off the landing is a generous walk in wardrobe.

The Bothy is approached from a shared courtyard where there is private parking to the front of the house, and direct access into the integral single garage which has an electric door and houses the hot water tank. The gardens at The Bothy are beautifully presented and well maintained, wrapping to the south and west aspects of the house. The kitchen opens into the west section of the garden which is used as a kitchen garden with numerous raised beds and has a garden store in the corner. A paved terrace overlooks the south garden with its stunning hilly backdrop. It has a generous lawned area enclosed by stone walls and a well-stocked border of plants.
