Description
**CLOSING DATE SET - Tuesday 10th March at 12 noon**
An attractive Victorian 4-bedroom detached home, situated within a scenic conservation area close to Lasswade which is within commuting distance to Edinburgh.
The charming cottage built in 1846 was originally the gardener’s cottage and stables to the neighbouring Blairesk Hall (formerly Bilston Lodge), which is a notable 19th century B listed country house that was built in 1819 and attributed to William Playfair.
From the front exterior of Garden Cottage, two dormer hayloft windows reflect the building’s original purpose whilst adding to its historical charm. The cottage now benefits from a spacious rear extension built in the 1980’s that encompasses an attractive conservatory as well as an integral double garage – which could also be developed into additional accommodation if required (subject to planning).
Set within 2.5 acres of grounds, the gardens are a real feature of the property and include a large lawned area within the original walled garden previously belonging to Blairesk Hall.
