Spectacular four bedroom semi-detached home with a Mozolowski & Murray kitchen extension, located in the Mavisbank Conservation area of Lasswade
Description
Eskvale, 21 Polton Bank, is a beautifully presented, and exceptionally well proportioned, principal part of a substantial, private and secluded, detached Victorian manor house. Having been sympathetically modernised over recent years, the property successfully combines the requirements of modern day living with many fine period features, from the delicate cornicing and plaster work throughout, to the wood panelled dining room, period fireplaces and decorative ceilings. Plantation wooden shutters are featured throughout the home which create tranquil accommodation, filled with natural light.
The entrance porch leads through to the vestibule and the welcoming reception hall, from where the principal accommodation radiates and the original staircase rises to the upper floor. The hallway boasts two striking archways and was the original hall for the entire house. To the front of the house lies the drawing room, which overlooks the front garden and links onto the kitchen/dining/living space. There is a stone fireplace, picture rail and an ornately decorated ceiling. Also to the front of the house lies the family room, again with an ornate ceiling, and wood panelled walls. Bedroom three is located to the rear of the house and features a newly installed en suite modern shower room.
The Mozolowski & Murray extension was completed by the current owners and is the heart of the home. The decoration is spectacular, offering a truly luxurious space to relax or entertain in, and with underfloor heating providing additional warmth. The kitchen was hand built in solid oak by Christopher Howard and is completed with granite worktops. There is a Quooker boiling water tap and a selection of Siemens integrated appliances, as well as washing machines and a tumble dryer. There is also a WC on this level.
A set of stairs leads down from the hall to the cellars, which have been recently converted to a study. There is ample storage, with built-in cupboards and a safe room. The main stairs rise to the first floor, where a broad landing gives access to the bedrooms. The generous south facing master bedroom has views over the front garden and a handsome fireplace. Adjacent to this lies the bright south facing guest bedroom with an attractive vaulted ceiling and an en suite shower room. There is also a further bedroom and a shower room.
Externally, the property is set well back from the road, with a well manicured front garden, laid predominantly to lawn, and a broad driveway. Steps lead to a tree walk and a further area of garden.
