About this property
Fantastic traditional yet up-to-date spacious cottage very close to Edinburgh
The Garden House is a delightful quirky and traditional one story picture book cottage that has been beautifully refurbished in character to a very high standard. The cottage has its own garden space within the stunning grounds of Oxenfoord Castle and Parks with all its wildlife for plain view. Deer wander round the gardens. Hares and all kinds of birds. Only 12 miles from Edinburgh but in the heart of the countryside it is easily accessible by road, with airport and rail conveniently close. From the outside you may think you are coming to a tiny country cottage as at first view you will only see a door in a brick wall but this is deceptive as once inside the space just opens up seems to go on and on. The front of the cottage had a tradition central door with side windows and roses climing round. Every room is spacious. Three bedrooms and three bathroom/shower rooms - two en-suite. The Kitchen is huge with masses of family space and a large kitchen table. There is a walk through snug television room. A large and spacious sitting room. Pretty passages. It has all the feel and atmosphere of cosy cottage with hotel comfort with the !00% Egyptiion cotton bedlinen on seriously comfy beds. It caters for all needs with up to the mark cloud Wifi; modern well equipped kitchen; 24hr heat and hot water from a biomass seating system. And even a log fire for the winter months. Close to the cultural centre of Edinburgh, it is perfect for the Edinburgh festival and also to hills for those who like walking and also beaches only 15mins away and beyond following the beautiful Scottish coastline of East Lothian. This is a perfect getaway cottage for a family or friends getting together.
