Pentland View, a Victorian villa with extensive private grounds | 4 bed, 2 bath | Carberry, Musselburgh
Offers over £975,000
Idyllic location? Updated interiors? Generous storage? Check, check, check! This stunning family villa stands in subtle grandeur near the ancient woodlands of the Carberry. Pentland View was the original Factor’s House for the Carberry Estate under the ownership of Lord and Lady Elphinstone, no less. Properties like this one do not go on the market often…
The accommodation is generously proportioned and is laid over two floors, enhanced by original pitched pine finishes. Many rooms also have a dual aspect over the private garden grounds. A new oil fired central heating boiler will be installed to serve radiators throughout, complemented by a wood burning stove in the lounge.
Home cooks will be glad to know that the kitchen comes with an Aga cooker, with expansive floor space (recently re-done), lots of storage and plenty of room to jump from section to section. Heaven!

An area laced with greenery and beautiful architecture, this property reflects its enviable surroundings with design-led interiors and high-end finishes throughout the home.
Despite its deceivingly petite size, The Coach House has vast open-plan spaces in the kitchen, living and dining rooms with a spiral staircase that leads to a versatile mezzanine level. Bi-folding doors bring in plenty of natural light in the living areas while double-height ceilings and dual-aspect windows create a vastness and nurture an airy and relaxing atmosphere.

The current elegance and grandeur of this once-crumbling countryside property brings luxury to its surroundings. Original structural elements are matched with contemporary finishes and neutral decor that lifts the space out of its neglected past once and for all.
