Property Description
Ideally located within the Pentlands Regional Park on an upland farm, this substantial, spacious detached farmhouse stands 30 minutes from Edinburgh city centre, yet in a peaceful and secluded setting. Accessed by a mile-long farm track with views of the surrounding Pentland Hills and woodland, there is excellent walking from the doorstep where a wide variety of birds and wildlife may be glimpsed. A wide diversity of activities are available locally, including fishing and riding. Beecraigs Country Park close to Linlithgow is within easy reach, whilst historical interest can be satisfied at Linlithgow Palace where Mary Queen of Scots was born. Glasgow, the Borders and Dumfries and Galloway are easily reached.
This unique Scottish farmhouse has an interesting history which dates from 1785. After major renovation the farmhouse now offers a comfortable modern designed interior whilst retaining its historic features. The house and holiday location provide an ideal rural retreat for families and for groups wanting to enjoy the hills or the cultural diversity of local Edinburgh.
