5 Bedroom House for sale in

A luxury rural lifestyle close to the city.

Sitting serenely in 1.2 acres of grounds on the edge of the Pentland Hills Regional Park, the spacious and flexible family accommodation benefits from modern yet characterful design and exceptionally high quality build and finishes.

Redmoss House is one of a small number of homes in this exquisite location, offering peace and privacy without isolation. The quiet environment and neighbourly community make it a safe space for children to play and grow, and there is plenty of space to support the whole family's needs, be that working from home, entertaining, socialising or unwinding.

The villages of Balerno and Currie are vibrant communities with pubs, restaurants and convenience stores, as well as a rich variety of social, sporting and cultural opportunities. The Pentland Hills (“Edinburgh's backyard”) are accessible on foot from the doorstep, offering countless trails for walking, running, dog walking, hacking or cycling. The reservoirs within the Pentlands are available for fishing, and there are golf courses within easy reach. Excellent commuter links to Edinburgh city centre, Glasgow and beyond make it very well connected.

Step into the welcoming entrance hall and onto the warmth and practical beauty of solid oak flooring. Solid hardwood is one of the hallmarks of Redmoss House, with all flooring, doors, cabinetry and the home's two staircases crafted from oak and elm. It's an investment in timeless style and durability that characterises the whole property.

An arched opening invites you through to the hallway leading to the heart of the home – the light-drenched kitchen and family dining area. Here, kitchen cabinetry in limed elm beautifully balances a contemporary look with the country setting. Topped with granite work surfaces, this kitchen effortlessly handles the food and entertaining requirements of a busy family. An Aga range cooker, the quintessential country kitchen oven, has been meticulously cared for and is supplemented by an electric Aga Companion oven and hob integrated in the large island bench.

Two sets of south-facing French doors, dressed in beautiful drapes, provide year round views of the garden and give access to the paved patio, seamlessly extending the social area when thrown open in the summer for al fresco dining.

There is a utility room adjacent to the kitchen, with plenty of extra storage space and a sink unit, and an external door to the back garden.

Other ground floor accommodation includes a large, formal sitting room which also has French doors opening onto the dining patio for summer days, and a wood burning stove for cosy nights. A further spacious room is currently being used as an office but could be a games/TV room, music room or extra bedroom. It is strikingly floored in warm-toned terracotta tiles and incorporates a large walk-in storage area. There is a downstairs WC.

Underfloor heating throughout means the home is efficiently comfortable year-round, ensuring that the generous spaciousness feels cosy.

An oak staircase leads from the living areas up to a galleried landing and stunning lounge on the first floor. This is a wonderful entertaining space designed with luxurious lingering in mind. Two sets of French doors with juliette balconies bring in the natural light and garden views, and from here the Pentland Hills are visible beyond the line of mature trees. Artfully chosen light fittings, window coverings and mood lighting showcases the art and artefacts you will want to have on display in this space. The room is warm and comfortable thanks to the high specification build, and a large fireplace provides a focal point for winter gatherings here.

The bedrooms are accessed via a separate staircase. At mid-floor level the first bedroom has its own landing, making it an ideal guest room. It has an en-suite bathroom with heated towel radiator, built-in wardrobes, and is impeccably decorated in light, neutral colours. (Guests may never want to leave).

The first floor landing gives access to the master bedroom and two further bedrooms. All enjoy the calming views of the garden and trees. The built in wardrobes are all solid wood, and the master bedroom's large en-suite shower room features stained glass windows. A family shower room, finished with contemporary white tiling and a stained glass roof light, completes the upstairs accommodation.

Lawns, flower beds, shrubs and mature trees surround the house on all sides, where various zones have been carefully created. The charming summer house is powered, making it very practical as well as decorative.

To the rear, a small woodland garden of mature trees has a whimsical path through it. With dusk garden lighting and a stunning feature fountain, the outdoors has been lavished with as much attention to detail as the indoors

There is a detached double garage and the other outbuilding houses a generator, easily switched on from the house, so the property is never without electricity even with the occasional rural power cut; rural living without compromise. It also has both oil and gas boilers which can be switched for the underfloor heating system and hot water, as desired.

Whatever your lifestyle, Redmoss House will support you to work, rest and play without compromise and surrounded by beauty.
