6 bed detached house for sale

Whitehouse Crescent, Gorebridge EH23

This substantial six bedroom detached home in Gorebridge brings together generous family accommodation, beautifully finished interiors and a landscaped garden that has received just as much attention as the rooms inside. From the impressive kitchen and dining room to the carefully coordinated sitting room, there is a real sense of care running throughout the property.

The layout offers plenty of flexibility for family life, with a ground floor bedroom and five further bedrooms upstairs, including one currently fitted out as a dedicated dressing room. A principal en suite, Jack and Jill shower room and separate family bathroom complement the accommodation, while a substantial private driveway provides parking for several vehicles.

Living Space

The entrance hallway sets the tone, with wood effect flooring, dark internal doors and a coordinated finish that continues through the main living spaces.

In the sitting room, a carefully designed media wall brings together a recessed television, contemporary electric fireplace and feature panelling. Coordinated cabinetry and soft neutral colours create a welcoming room, with ample space for a generous seating arrangement and somewhere for the whole family to settle in.

The kitchen and dining room is a particular highlight. Gloss cabinetry and extensive worktop space surround a substantial central island, with integrated appliances helping to maintain the clean finish. Pendant lighting and subtle lighting around the island add to the room’s appeal, while wood effect flooring brings warmth to the space.

There is plenty of room for a large dining table, making this a space that works equally well for everyday meals, family gatherings and having friends round. Its generous proportions allow the kitchen and dining areas to sit comfortably together without either feeling compromised.

The downstairs WC has its own character, combining decorative wallpaper with dark fluted panelling and a contemporary vanity unit.

Bedrooms And Bathrooms

Six bedrooms give the accommodation the flexibility to adapt as a family’s needs change, whether that means space for guests, working from home or a separate dressing room.

The principal bedroom combines generous proportions with a warm textured feature wall and built in wardrobe storage. Its adjoining en suite is beautifully finished with large format tiling, a walk in shower, brass toned fittings and illuminated recessed shelving.

The remaining bedrooms continue the coordinated décor, with soft carpeting and space for a variety of furniture arrangements. Bedrooms three and four share a Jack and Jill shower room, with direct access from each room, contemporary tiling and a substantial shower enclosure.

Bedroom six is currently arranged as a dedicated dressing room, with fitted shelving, hanging space and drawers making excellent use of the room. A separate family bathroom completes the accommodation.

Outside

The rear garden feels like a natural extension of the home, with thoughtfully arranged seating areas and established planting giving it plenty of character.

A paved barbecue and dining area is framed by timber screening, creating an inviting spot for outdoor meals and entertaining. Beyond it, a lawn is bordered by raised beds, with palms, ornamental plants and mature shrubs adding colour and texture. A circular garden arch provides a lovely focal point, while further seating areas offer space to enjoy the garden from different perspectives.

To the front, the substantial private driveway provides ample parking for several vehicles.

Location

Gorebridge offers a range of local shops, schools and everyday amenities, together with a railway station providing connections to Edinburgh. Road links give access to the City Bypass and wider Midlothian, making it a practical location for those balancing family life with travel into the capital.
