Midfield House, Lasswade, Midlothian, EH18

McEwan Fraser Legal is delighted to present this outstanding two-bedroom apartment within a Grade B listed, converted Georgian mansion. Set back, on an exclusive 4.5 acre plot and rarely available, Midfield House is a highly sought after historic site. Originally built in the 18th century, Midfield House became the home of local coal-baron James A. Hood (1859-1941). Following a devastating fire in 1912, the celebrated Scottish architect Sir Robert Lormier, reconstructed the property 1914-1918. Retaining the classic Georgian style, Lorimer tastefully improved the south-facing aspect with the Italianate grandeur of a distinctive loggia and water feature. Motifs of children feature throughout and the statue of Flora overlooks the rear gardens to honour Hood�s daughter Margaret, who was killed in the 1912 fire. For a long time, Midfield House was a children�s home before being converted into popular period apartments in the late 1980s. Inside, the property comprises of: � Entrance through the elegant communal hallway, which gives the feeling of grandeur with its high ceilings, ornate cornicing, stained glass window and traditional Georgian lightwell. � Fully equipped kitchen with separate dining/home office space. This space offers the possibility to close off from the kitchen to become a third bedroom or home study. The kitchen is well equipped with gas hob, fan oven and free-standing storage and has been finished to a high standard. � Spacious living area, which is flooded in natural light through the large timber framed windows. The room offers excellent options for various furniture arrangements and the grand open fireplace provides a tasteful focal point. � Two generous double bedrooms are well-proportioned with free-standing storage. � The master bedroom features a beautifully restored fireplace and high moulded ceiling. � Bathroom fitted with a white four-piece suite and separate shower. The corner shower is powered by the gas combi boiler, ensuring great water pressure. � Private garage equipped with electricity and excellent storage space. The stunning communal grounds boast 4.5 acres and provides residents with ample parking, private garages and well-maintained gardens thriving with wildlife. The North features a mature arboretum, whilst the South provides a serene walled garden. Private pet and child-friendly spaces such as this are rare and highly sought after.
