A magnificent sweeping silver birch-lined driveway beyond a grand gated entrance, reveals a superb family entertainer exclusively situated in the prized Edinburgh College locale. This brilliant lifestyle property not only offers a character four bedroom plus study home with wonderful connection to its expansive 1 ½ acre (approx.) surrounds and a one bedroom Kentucky Log Cabin offering separate accommodation for a grandparent, older children or guests, it also delivers lavish resort style entertaining with multiple outdoor living spaces and a tennis court.

Peaceful and utterly private, expansive grassed areas lead to classic formality at the front of the home as the driveway circles a garden complete with fountain. Slightly elevated and sitting to the right, a delightful summerhouse with kitchen beckons.
