Set within a peaceful and highly convenient location in the heart of Kirknewton, 31 Station Road is an impressive four-bedroom detached bungalow combining contemporary family living with exceptional privacy and uninterrupted countryside views. Just a one-minute walk from the train station and moments from the primary school, the property offers the perfect balance of rural tranquility and commuter convenience.
Internally, the house has been thoughtfully extended and upgraded to create a superb flow of space, with a particular highlight being the spectacular kitchen/dining/sitting room to the rear. This bright and expansive room is designed to maximise the stunning outlook, with windows on all sides framing panoramic views of open fields and rolling hills. A wood-burning stove provides a warm focal point, while French doors lead directly onto the large south-facing deck, ideal for outdoor dining and entertaining.
The kitchen itself is beautifully appointed with solid stone worktops, a large central island with integrated wine fridge, dishwasher and freezer, with a separate double fridge and Smeg range cooker, located nearby. A practical utility room, boot room, and a contemporary shower room are also located off the kitchen, providing excellent family functionality.
To the front, a generous sitting room offers a second inviting living space, featuring a wood-burning stove and large picture window. The accommodation also includes an entrance porch, four well-proportioned double bedrooms, and a stylish family bathroom.
Externally, the property enjoys a superb south-facing garden with a large, decked terrace, lawn, mature borders, a chicken coop, and a wood store, all set against a backdrop of uninterrupted countryside views. The setting provides remarkable privacy and a wonderful sense of escape.
A large, gated driveway provides parking for multiple vehicles and leads to a substantial double garage with a pitched roof and electric door. Although now lapsed, the property previously held planning consent to convert the garage, offering exciting future potential for additional accommodation or workspace.
The property is fitted with gas central heating and double glazing.
