McEwan Fraser is delighted to present this substantial detached home to the
market. Cornbank House dates from the 18th century and was originally the
farmhouse for the historically significant Penicuik Estate. The property has
been substantially modernised by the current owners and offers a superb
contemporary interpretation of the character that Georgian buildings are
renowned for. The property offers up to five bedrooms and further benefits
from a self - contained one - bedroom annex that would be ideal as guest
accommodation or as a potential holiday let. Externally, the property sits on
around three - quarters of an acre and is hidden behind mature hedges and large
electric gates.
**Main house
**
Entering through the front door, you find an entrance vestibule which opens
into the spacious central hallway. The hallway separates the two principle
public rooms which both excellent natural light due to a generally southerly
aspect. The sitting room on your left and drawing room on your right are both
generous rooms with strip wood flooring and feature fireplaces. The
proportions on offer in these two rooms will give a new owner endless
flexibility to create their ideal living and entertaining space. Bedroom five
is located immediately behind the drawing room. This substantial room could
easily be utilised as a home office or less formal reception room depending on
individual requirements. The ground floor accommodation is completed by a
dining kitchen and adjacent WC. The kitchen offers a lovely balance between
character and modern convenience. There are a range of base and wall mounted
units arranged around an aga and a further free - standing range cooker. Space
is provided for further free - standing appliances including an American style
fridge freezer which will all be included within the sale.
Climbing the stairs, the first floor landing gives access the en - suite master
bedroom, three further double bedrooms and a stylish master bathroom. Bedroom
one is the obvious master bedroom and overlooks the front garden. Naturally
bright due to a dual aspect, the master bedroom includes extensive fitted
wardrobes and ample floor space for a full suite of supporting bedroom
furniture. The attached en - suite shower room is fully tiled. The second
bedroom is a further substantial dual aspect bedroom overlooking the front
garden. Bedroom three overlooks the rear garden. Bedroom four is adjacent to
the master bedroom and would make an ideal nursery if needed. The internal
accommodation is completed by a stunning bathroom with free - standing bath and
separate shower.
Annex
One of the exciting features of this house is the one bedroom annex which has
a double bedroom, kitchen, shower room and gorgeous living room with rustic
walls, patio doors to the rear garden and its own entrance. This self
contained cottage has proved a very successful rental property for the current
owners, and would provide an excellent income stream going forward! If you
wanted a further income opportunity the garden to the rear has plenty of space
for a lodge which could also be rented out.
Grounds
The grounds are entered from Carlops Road and bordered by mature hedges and
protected by electronic gates. The gates open onto a driveway which is shared
with an adjacent property. Cornbank house enjoys an extensive front garden
with manicured lawn that would be a wonderful resource for a family. To the
rear there is extensive parking, and plenty of space to further extend the
property, build a multi - car garage or a substantial home office suite.
