Outdoor Living & Outbuildings

The private courtyard is a celebrated feature of the home – perfect for hosting alfresco dinners, BBQs, and starlit gatherings. The surrounding gardens and paddocks provide ample space for outdoor hobbies, grazing, or simply enjoying the ever-changing Scottish seasons.

A collection of traditional stone outbuildings totalling around 2,071 sq ft offer outstanding versatility — currently providing stables, workshops, studios and storage. Importantly, planning permission is already in place (Ref: 22/00237/DPP on the Midlothian Planning Portal) to convert these outbuildings into additional habitable accommodation, allowing them to be seamlessly integrated with the main house.

Set just a short walk from two of Scotland’s most atmospheric castles – Borthwick Castle and Crichton Castle – the area is rich in heritage. Explore miles of woodland paths, ride the local bridleways, or simply sit back and soak in the tranquillity of your surroundings.

All of this, and just a short drive from Edinburgh – offering the best of both worlds.
