Lawhead is situated in an elevated position at the foot of the Pentland Hills, looking south. The views to the north, west, and east, up to and along the south side of the Pentlands are exceptional and far reaching. The property dates back to the early 19th century and is constructed of stone under a slate roof. The front door, located on the south side, opens into a hallway. The kitchen is fitted with both base and wall-mounted units and offers ample space for a dining table. Beyond the kitchen is a utility room, a back door, and a WC. A centrally located dining room, featuring a wood-burning stove, is dual-aspect and adjacent to this is an additional reception room with a door leading to the side of the property. Upstairs, there are three double bedrooms, served by both a bathroom and a separate shower room. The views from the bedrooms, primarily to the south, are extensive and scenic. To the north of the main house lies a U-shaped steading, which includes a range of barns, old stables, and storage spaces. The stables offer approximately 4,000+ square feet of additional space and could be converted, subject to obtaining the necessary permissions from the local council. In front of the steading is a large courtyard area suitable for parking multiple vehicles. The gardens at Lawhead are south-facing and mainly laid to lawn. A stone wall encloses part of the garden, and mature trees are interspersed throughout the grounds. View payable LBTT Calculator for this property
