Edinburgh property: Midlothian converted barn with 'private courtyard' hits the market

An incredible converted barn in Midlothian has hit the market, boasting five-bedrooms and stunning period features, including stone walls and arches.

As well as keeping some of the original building work, there has also been a complete renovation within the property, consisting of four bathrooms and French doors opening out onto the specious garden.

The property is located at Muir Steading, Milton Bridge, Penicuik, and would be a dream family home for those fortunate to secure the keys.

Rightmove describe the property as: "Fantastic opportunity to purchase an immaculately presented 5-bedroom barn conversion offering superb family accommodation over ground and first floor level complete with self-contained one bedroom annex. Ideally situated to enjoy a picturesque setting and minutes from Edinburgh City Bypass."

They continue: "The Barn is entered through electric double gates opening onto the large private courtyard. Internally, the exceptionally spacious and contemporary styled accommodation is accessed via French doors into a welcoming hallway leading to the expansive open plan living space. Under stair storage is provided and the feature bespoke wrought iron staircase returns to the upper floor level."

The floorplan for the property looks like an adult's jigsaw puzzle, with multiple family/dining and living rooms, as well as the five-bedrooms and four bathrooms.

There is also room for a spacious garage and multiple storage rooms, including one in the loft. The boundary of the barn is also beautifully presented with privacy and tranquillity in mind.

There are generously landscaped areas as well as a decked seating area, ideal for outdoor entertainment and relaxing in order to take in the country air. Furthermore, the double-garage also provides covered parking and a tarmacked driveway provides ample off-street parking for at least four vehicles.

The converted barn is entered through swish electric-style gates opening onto the large private courtyard. Internally, the exceptionally spacious and contemporary styled accommodation is accessed via French doors into the hallway leading to the expansive open-plan living space.

Under stair storage is provided beneath a beautiful looking iron staircase to the upper floor level.

The property benefits from multiple spacious family rooms. (Rightmove)

The ground floor presents an extensive open plan living space, starting with a light and sunny kitchen area with a modern-looking array of white gloss fronted units, not what you would expect in an old barn outbuilding.

The modernisation is continued with a middle island and breakfast bar. The kitchen, and most of the property for that matter, benefits from plenty natural light and windows.

The open plan kitchen is the heart of the family home and further leads down to a lowered family living area where double full sliding doors create the perfect opportunity to allow the outside to be brought inside.

There is a cosy sitting room with a dining area, as the room enjoys a right and sunny dual aspect with delightful views taking in the landscaped gardens via a spectacular feature arched window and French doors. Guests in this room will also be treated with the heat from a wood-burning fire during the winter months.

A well-proportioned room currently used as an office, could easily transform into a cinema room or gym, for those looking to explore that particular avenue.

Four well laid out bedrooms add to the huge expansion of the barn, with one lucky person having the added extra benefit of an en-suite shower room. A separate stylish shower room with contemporary three-piece suite is located on the same level as well.

The stunning, and huge, principal bedroom benefits from Juliette balcony and luxuriously-fitted bathroom suite with a walk-in shower, bath, twin hand wash basin and an exceptional walk-in dressing room.

As a unique benefit, House of Muir also offers self-contained living accommodation which can be reached via the main house, but also through its own private entrance. This beautifully appointed one bedroom dwelling offers a galley style kitchen complete with integrated appliances, family room, living/dining room with staircase to upper level offering double bedroom together with ample fitted wardrobe space.

The rear garden includes a decking area. (Rightmove)

There is also additional room, believe it or not, which has been tastefully converted into flexible accommodation offering a living area/bedroom an en-suite shower facilities. This space could be utilised for home working, running a business or further guest accommodation.

Of course, the property benefits from gas central and under-floor heating throughout, with several original features, including stone walls and wooden beams, remaining as part of an unquestionable finishing touch.

Externally, and as mentioned, the rear and front garden both present excellent opportunities to bask in the countryside air and host a large gathering for those warm summer nights. There is also complete privacy ensured by the aforementioned private electric gates.
