Description
Situated just 10 miles from Edinburgh's West End, Kilpunt House is an exceptional 6 bedroom Georgian farmhouse that combines countryside living with easy access to the metropolis of Edinburgh. With a predominantly south facing outlook over the West Lothian countryside, the house benefits from an enclosed private garden and a paddock to the rear making up a 1.4 acre area of land in total.
The house itself has been extensively refurbished and offers stylish accommodation over 3 floors. The front door opens into porch leading through to the hall where the impressive pine staircase leads to the first floor. The south facing drawing room looks out onto the garden through an impressive bay window and has period features such as the panelled dado, cornicing, shutters and Edinburgh Press cupboards, combined with stylish high quality finishes including the timber floor and real flame gas fire. The sun room has an expansive bay window providing an excellent outlook and ample natural sunlight as it is again, south facing. The sitting room is currently being used as a playroom and again has period features throughout. The incredibly stylish contemporary kitchen/dining room has ample room for a good sized dining table and twin French doors out to the patio area which is ideal for outdoor dining. The modern integral appliances such as the SMEG Range cooker with 5 ring hob, double oven, extractor hood, dishwasher and fridge freezer are included. The dining room is currently being used as a gymnasium and has doors opening to the garden. The utility room has plumbing for a washing machine, fitted units and a wash hand basin. A cloakroom with WC and wash hand basin completes the downstairs accommodation.
On the first floor the master bedroom has fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with bath, shower, twin basins and a WC. South facing double bedrooms 2 and 3 benefit from bay windows and overlook the front of the house. Double bedroom 4 overlooks the rear and has a built in wardrobe. There is a large, stylish family bathroom with a bath, shower, heated towel rail, wash hand basin and WC. An additional shower room with shower, WC and wash hand basin and bathroom 2 with a bath, wash hand basin and WC complete the first floor accommodation.
On the second floor bedroom 5 and 6 overlook the front of the house and both have fitted wardrobes.
