The Coach House, Pentland Hills
For those craving style, comfort and fresh country air, the Coach House feels gloriously off-grid, yet sits within easy striking distance of Edinburgh when the bright lights of the city come calling.
Perched above rolling farmland on the edge of the Pentland Hills Regional Park, this is a home to re-connect and enjoy a little together time. For some this will be the journey’s end for rest and relaxation, while for others it will be the start of some amazing outdoor adventures in the raw, natural beauty of the Pentland Hills – a hot-spot for walking, biking and nature lovers. The garden is fully enclosed so great for dogs.
Inside, the cottage has a multi-level arrangement, leading down into a spacious sitting room and dining room with characterful beams painted white to bounce light, and original coach house doors opening out to the lawned garden and far reaching views. The overall look is soft and tranquil, with an impressive central wood burner the focal point of the room for hunkering down and enjoying those cosy ‘go-nowhere’ days.
The gentle colour palette continues into a shaker style kitchen with a small central island and side doors leading out to the side of the cottage which extends into the front lawned garden.
Head back to the main access hall to the rear, and there's a sun room to the rear of the property which can be used in warmer days. The inner hallway leads up to three charming bedrooms, each balanced with a gentle colour palette which are serene and restful.The main bedroom has the benefit of an en-suite shower room while the other two bedrooms share a large family bathroom with shower, and separate slipper bath for a seriously sumptuous soak.
Finally, for guests looking to holiday together but enjoy their own private space, The Sheep Cote sleeping 4 sits next door, separated by the access road and external courtyard.
