The property is constructed of stone under a series of pitched slate roofs. The faC'ade was originally sketched by Robert Adam, with the existing structure bearing a partial resemblance to his drawings. Internally the property is spacious and has been finished to an exceptional standard. All four bedrooms in the principal house benefit from en suite facilities whilst the reception rooms have wonderful stone fireplaces and beautiful cornicing. The two guest wings offer a tremendous opportunity to either expand the house, assuming the necessary permissions are granted, or for letting.The accommodation, although stretching to over 9000 square feet, is well laid out and tremendously manageable and ideal for both modern family living and grand scale entertaining.From the road through the woodland park, a wooden gate opens to a sweeping gravel courtyard to the side of the property, providing parking for numerous cars. Immediately to the right of the gravel is a an area of manicured lawn leading up to the eastern boundary. A beautiful water feature is fed by the hill side spring. To the north of the property the wooded slopes offer tremendous privacy as well as a natural habitat with an abundance of wildlife. A cobbled pathway along the front of the house provides access to the front lawns, punctuated with a variety of mauring trees and shrubs, and bordered by a neatly kept box hedge. The cobbled pathway then leads through the stone archway to the cobbled central courtyard. ACCOMMODATION: See floor plans DIRECTIONS: From Edinburgh travel north across the Forth Road Bridge.
