Covering over 2,180 square feet, this exclusive detached house is a stunning five-bedroom residence that is in pristine condition, providing buyers with contemporary interiors and a wealth of space, in addition to extensive private parking and a beautifully landscaped rear garden with a southeast-facing aspect.

Finished to impeccably high standards, this executive five-bedroom detached house is an exceptional family home for luxury lifestyles, seeking an abundance of space and interiors presented in true walk-in condition. The home further boasts an impressive open-plan breakfasting kitchen, family and dining room, and it has four high-spec washrooms; plus, it features private parking for multiple vehicles and a large family-friendly garden. The high-end residence forms part of an exclusive modern development as well. It is situated on the rural edge of Penicuik, close to the countryside and the Pentland Hills. Yet it is also still within easy reach of the town’s amenities, schools, and transport links, and it provides an easy commute into Edinburgh city centre.

Entrance – A family home for luxury lifestyles

Brimming with instant kerb appeal, 60 Bluebell Drive impresses from the outset. Stepping inside, a naturally-lit hall provides understairs storage and a hint of the high-quality interiors to follow. 

Reception rooms – Immaculate presentation and spacious proportions

For everyday use, the living room presents a wonderful space for unwinding and socialising. It has spacious proportions for an excellent choice of comfortable sofas and it is brightly illuminated by a trio of windows. Furthermore, the space is enhanced by crisp white décor and plus carpeting, creating a minimalist-inspired aesthetic that allows homeowners to easily add their own stamp.

Kitchen – Discover the heart of the home

The heart of the home is a very large breakfasting kitchen, family and dining room, which share an open-plan layout spanning the entire width of the property. Bathed in southeast-facing light, this outstanding multi-purpose space offers ample room for lounge furniture and a table and chairs. It also extends out further into the rear garden via French doors. Plus, it has a fitted breakfast bar for quick meals, and it is generously appointed with a fantastic selection of light dove grey cabinets and sweeping stone-effect worktops, illuminated bly undercabinet lighting. Finishing the stylish design is a suite of integrated appliances for that ever-desirable streamlined look (five-burner gas hob, eye-level double oven, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher). A utility room supplements the kitchen with a discreet space for laundry and alternate garden access. It also has a neighbouring WC.

Bedrooms – Five bedrooms with pristine styling

The five bedrooms are all upstairs, extending off a landing with an airing cupboard. They include the large principal suite, which has the luxury of an en-suite shower room, as well as a built-in mirrored wardrobe and French doors to a Juliet balcony. The second bedroom is an equally spacious double that also has a built-in mirrored wardrobe and an en-suite. Bedrooms three and four are airy doubles too (the latter equipped with storage), whilst the fifth bedroom is a versatile single, providing flexibility and potential for use as an office (if needed). All five rooms maintain the home’s impeccable standards, echoing the pristine aesthetic of the living area.

Bathrooms – Premium bathrooms finished to high standards

For maximum convenience, there is a WC on the ground floor and on the first floor, there are two en-suite shower rooms and a family bathroom. The two en-suites are both of a high specification, incorporating attractive tile work and contemporary finishings, which include a half-pedestal washbasin, hidden-cistern toilet, and double walk-in shower cubicle. The four-piece family bathroom matches the style and standards of both, adding a bathtub alongside the shower cubicle.

Ensuring year-round comfort, the property has a 240-litre unvented heating system and double glazing. It also has a solar-panelled roof for greater efficiency.

Garden & Parking – A wonderful family garden with a suntrap aspect

In addition to a well-maintained front garden, the home boasts a fully-enclosed rear garden which has been carefully landscaped to provide a beautiful outdoor space for the entire family. It incorporates a manicured lawn and neat patio areas for summer dining. It also benefits from a suntrap, southeast-facing aspect. To the front, generous private parking is assured thanks to a multi-car driveway, laid with monoblock paving, and an integrated double garage.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.

Penicuik, Midlothian

Situated just five miles outside Edinburgh at the foot of the picturesque Pentland Hills, the thriving town of Penicuik offers a sought-after country lifestyle with all the advantages of city living. The bustling town centre is home to a selection of high-street stores and independent retailers, various cafés, pubs and restaurants, and a choice of major supermarkets, plus more extensive shopping facilities at nearby Straiton Retail Park. Residents of Penicuik are spoilt for choice when it comes to sport and fitness activities, including a state-of-the-art leisure centre, sports clubs and golf courses, as well as a wealth of outdoor activities in the surrounding countryside – from invigorating hiking, mountain biking and snow sports in the Pentland Hills, to relaxed strolls or cycles along the River North Esk. Penicuik is served by several primary schools and two high schools and is also well placed for excellent independent schools and private childcare options. Thanks to its southerly location Penicuik allows swift and easy access to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport and the M8/M9 networks.

Property information from this agent

Places of interest

    We have been helping Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perthshire families with their property needs for generations. Throughout our long history and through ever-changing property markets, we have always focussed on what our clients need, and delivered services built round them. From the 1960s onwards, Thorntons grew to become the largest Scottish-based solicitor estate agency in our operating area.  In the 1980s, we became the first local solicitor estate agent to open the now-familiar high street property shop.   A significant game-changing merger in 1990 transformed the estate agency landscape locally and the firm expanded, opening bustling property shops throughout Dundee and Angus. These property shops gave buyers and sellers their first experience of the one-stop shop’ approach by providing a full range of complementary estate agency and legal services. Building on these solid foundations the firm continued to grow and develop our offering for clients.  In the early 1990s we expanded into Perthshire.  Our most recent expansion has been into Fife in 2014 with mergers with the successful firms Murray Donald and Steel Eldridge Stewart. A number of key staff in our property team have been involved in the evolution of this highly successful operation over recent years.  They have witnessed the expansion of the firm’s market share in both existing and new build property sales, particularly evident in the boom years from 2004 to 2008.  During that period the residential property market provided tremendous opportunities for the firm to harness its strengths and invest for the future. During the less buoyant years which followed, we continued to move forward and prepare for the resurgence of activity in the property market.  Even when the market was at its toughest, we continued to invest in our people and systems to maintain our position and deliver the best service for sellers and buyers. The last 25 years have seen tremendous changes in market demands, with new technology and online opportunities opening up innovative ways for us to deliver services to clients. As well as extending our online client communication we have also invested strongly to provide late night and weekend openings. This ensures buyers and sellers can speak to someone in our branches who will be able to help – at a time that suits them. Our strong involvement with the local solicitors’ property centres continues and forms an important part of our offering.  We have also embraced newer nation-wide online platforms to give sellers the widest choice possible. We continually look to provide our services in an innovative and flexible way – always with the emphasis on what our clients need. And we look forward to building on our past as we continue to deliver top quality estate agency and property services across Dundee, Fife, Angus and Perthshire into the future.
