Description

Designed in 1937 by J B Dunn & Martin Architects, this two-bedroom detached house sits within a plot of approximately half an acre in a rural setting near Kirknewton. The accommodation includes an entrance hall, a sitting room with windows on two sides and a brick fireplace, a separate dining room and a kitchen. The kitchen is described as requiring modernisation and includes a cooker and washing machine. Upstairs are two double bedrooms with walk-in wardrobe provision and a family bathroom, with a large loft providing storage. The listing notes possible changes to the kitchen and dining arrangement, attic conversion or extensions, all subject to the necessary consents. The grounds include established gardens around the house and an adjoining parcel of land of approximately 0.25 acres. There is also a detached garage, gated driveway parking, two garden sheds and two external store cellars. The house has double glazing and oil-fired central heating, and the EPC rating is D. The property is close to Kirknewton village and its railway station, with road links to Edinburgh and the Central Belt. It is offered with scope for modernisation; any development potential would require planning and other relevant approvals to be verified.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

53out of 100
Grade DWeak opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

This is a distinctive 1937 Arts and Crafts-inspired detached home, with spacious rooms, a characterful brick fireplace and a substantial, established plot of around half an acre. The house is clean and appears well maintained, while older finishes leave room for a light, largely cosmetic refresh; the kitchen is dated but orderly and functional.

Key opportunities

  • Refresh older flooring and finishes while retaining the spacious feel and distinctive brick fireplace.
  • Update the dated kitchen to suit a new owner's preferences; the existing layout is described as practical.
  • Make the most of the established gardens and adjoining land, with any extension or other development subject to planning and feasibility.
