The Square Newtongrange, Dalkeith Offers Over £270,000

The entrance hall includes useful built in storage and leads into the main living room. This is an impressively sized everyday living space with recently fitted carpet and an electric fireplace providing a central focal point. Its proportions allow plenty of flexibility for different furniture arrangements and family use. The kitchen provides practical unit and worktop space and connects directly with the conservatory. This substantial additional room overlooks the rear garden and can comfortably accommodate dining furniture, a second sitting area or a combination of both. It adds considerable flexibility to the ground floor and gives the home far more living space than may initially be expected.

Two bedrooms are positioned on the ground floor. The rear bedroom has two windows overlooking the garden, together with a deep recess offering potential for fitted or freestanding wardrobe storage. The front bedroom enjoys the open outlook across the garden and green towards the Pentland Hills. It could equally serve as a home office, study or additional sitting room if four bedrooms are not required. Upstairs are two further bedrooms, both with Velux windows, along with a useful box room housing the boiler and providing additional storage. The bathroom is located on the ground floor and includes a white three piece suite, wet wall panelling and a window providing natural light and ventilation.

The rear garden is one of the property’s strongest features. A paved area immediately beyond the conservatory provides space for outdoor seating and includes a defined barbecue area, creating a natural setting for summer dining. Beyond the paving is a substantial lawn with space for play, planting or a different layout as the next owner makes the garden their own. Several sheds provide useful storage for garden equipment and outdoor furniture. The mainly grassed front garden faces onto an open green rather than another property immediately opposite. The outlook towards the Pentland Hills adds to the feeling of space and gives the cottage a particularly pleasant position within this established part of the village.

Newtongrange has a distinct character shaped by its mining heritage, with the National Mining Museum Scotland remaining an important local landmark. The village offers shops, schools, a library, leisure facilities and other useful amenities for everyday life. Newtongrange railway station provides direct services to Edinburgh Waverley, while road connections link the village with Dalkeith, the wider Midlothian area and the Edinburgh City Bypass.
