House for sale in The Brae, Penicuik - 4 bedrooms

In an idyllic rural environment overlooking Glencorse Golf Club yet only approximately 8 miles from the centre of Edinburgh, this charming detached family house (built circa 1890s) set amidst well established spacious gardens has recently undergone a full refurbishment programme to create a beautiful home of considerable character and style.

The inner door features a decorative stained glass panel and leads into the bright welcoming hall.

Two double bedrooms and a particularly spacious bathroom are also located on the ground floor although either bedroom would also be suitable for use as a dining room if required.
