Property description

Cotlands House was a created from two estate cottages, once part of the Marchmont Estate and dating from the 19th century. These were taken back to a shell and extended to form a bright and modern, generously proportioned house. By virtue of its open aspect Cotlands House benefits from a wonderfully light and bright atmosphere and provides exceptional family accommodation which has been finished to a high standard. There is scope to introduce an income producing element to the house with rooms suitable for use as B&B accommodation, especially the bedroom on the ground floor which has an en suite bathroom. Alternatively, the house could subdivide to create a separate letting unit. Of particular note is the reception hall, with its sweeping staircase and gallery, naturally lit through the large round cupola. The hall opens into the drawing room, in the older part of the house, and the large dining kitchen with a Sandyford cast iron range cooker and a seating area by the open fire looks out over the garden. The dining room is centrally positioned and also works well as a study, situated between the kitchen and sitting room. There are four good sized bedrooms on the first floor and the master bedroom, with both en suite bathroom and dressing room, has the perfect aspect to appreciate the exceptional sunsets to the west. The flexibility of the accommodation is underlined by the first floor playroom which has also been used as a sixth bedroom and a sitting room. Subject to obtaining the necessary consents, it could be made into a self contained flat with access from existing back stairs, and would be a superb artist’s studio or home office.
