Despite the rural setting, 2 Newlandrig is within commuting distance of Edinburgh, nine miles away.

The four bedroom property has been finished to a very high standard and benefits from a garden and paddock.

Jamie Currie, handling the sale on behalf of Galbraith said: “2 Newlandrig offers a wonderful opportunity to live a rural lifestyle whilst enjoying the benefits of a modern, family home. The position, in the delightful small community of Newlandrig and within easy reach of the A68 and A7 leading to the Edinburgh bypass, airport and city centre, makes this a property which will appeal to a wide range of buyers.

“Internally, the house is well presented and in ‘move in’ condition. The layout of the property is also appealing with an open plan kitchen dining area and patio doors opening to the garden as well as the downstairs bedroom having an en suite bathroom.

“With well maintained gardens, a polytunnel, decking area, paddock and even a sauna in the grounds, there is something for everyone at 2 Newlandrig.”

The open plan kitchen and dining room is an impressive and light filled space with glass doors which, when opened, creates a free flow to the living room.

The farmhouse style is in keeping with the rural surroundings with notable features including a rangemaster and dual farmhouse sink. There is also a log burning stove in the dining area contributing to the feel of a warm and homely entertaining space.

With two sets of patio doors leading to the garden area, from the kitchen and living room, natural light floods the property whilst beautiful countryside views are enjoyed throughout.

Outside, the gardens are well maintained with a large area of decking for outdoor entertaining. In addition, for the keen gardener, there are a number of raised beds, a polytunnel and a large outbuilding with ample storage.

The timber built sauna outside is a unique feature of 2 Newlandrig offering space to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

A paddock, suitable for grazing and bound by wire fencing, is ideal for a horse owner or someone looking to keep a small flock of livestock.

Newlandrig lies just to the east of the A7, about two miles from Gorebridge. There are several primary schools, a medical centre and good local shops in Gorebridge whilst the larger centres of Dalkeith and Straiton provide more extensive shopping and commercial facilities.

The area benefits from not only Vogrie Country Park nearby, but also numerous golf courses, hill walking in the Pentlands, sailing on the Forth Estuary and skiing at Hillend.

Vogrie Country Park has 11.5 miles of countryside paths through woodlands surrounding the Victorian Vogrie House. There is a miniature railway and adventure play areas for all the family to enjoy.
