Westlands House is a magnificent five-bedroom detached family home with charming separate gatehouse, situated in an idyllic private plot with a south-facing aspect. Located just seven miles from the city centre, this is a unique opportunity to acquire country living in the city. Presented to the market in immaculate condition, the accommodation retains many of its period features and is well proportioned with five generously sized double bedrooms, three excellent receptions and three bathrooms, plus a cloakroom WC, across the main house and two-storey gatehouse. Westlands House is set within a leafy area just a stroll from the Water of Leith Walkway and a short distance from The Pentland Hills Regional Park.


The front door opens to a welcoming vestibule and hallway (with guest cloakroom WC) leading to the open plan south-facing sitting room and dining kitchen with bi-fold doors to the garden terrace. The kitchen is fully equipped with bespoke stainless steel countertops, a large island and high specification appliances (Bosch & Neff). The kitchen diner connects to an adjacent large utility/boot room with separate entrance. Down the elegantly decorated hallway is the principal bedroom with en-suite, two double bedrooms and family bathroom with bath and separate walk in shower, completing the ground floor.


The first-floor level comprises the impressive south facing drawing room with log burner, a cosy snug with French doors to the Juliet balcony and a fourth double bedroom.


The delightful self-contained gatehouse with wood-panelled interior provided a further spacious double bedroom, sitting room with door to the charming, cobbled garden terrace, fitted kitchen and showerroom.


Externally, the property boasts a large, gated driveway with parking for 4 to 5 cars, front garden, log store and garage. To the rear of the property is a south facing, enchanting walled garden, with a large lawn, mature trees and shrubs, including magnolia, wisteria, hydrangeas and lavender. There is a vegetable garden with fruit trees, raised beds, shed, log store, plus a generous south facing terrace.


The property is close to good local schooling, plus many of Edinburgh’s highly regarded independent schools provide private transport to and from Balerno. Westlands House lies within a short distance from Curriehill train station which runs regular services into Edinburgh’s city centre. The City Bypass is easily accessible, as are links that connect to Edinburgh International Airport and Central Scotland’s main motorways network.
