Luxurious Victorian Villa, Eskbank, Near Edinburgh, Sleeps 10. Parking & Garden

Welcome to our attractive South facing House nestled in a beautiful suburb close to Edinburgh, The Highlands, East Lothian Beaches and The Borders.

Refurbished in a luxury boutique yet cosy style, perfect for easy, relaxed stays with family and friends.

The house has a charming mix of eclectic, vintage and modern decor.

On the ground floor there are plenty of places to unwind- 2 reception rooms and a beautiful sunlit garden room off the kitchen/dining area with bi-fold doors leading onto the terrace with outdoor dining space and Big Green Egg BBQ for special al fresco meals and the garden.

A cosy modern wood burning stove in the sitting room and garden room is ideal for cooler evenings.

The sitting room has large comfy Victorian chairs & 2 sofas. It's enveloped in warm colours & an eclectic vibe with a large bay window onto the garden. There's peaceful green planting inside and out and a decadent 1950's cocktail cabinet filled with colourful glassware from Marrakech to prepare something special.

A second cosy snug room on this floor has a gorgeous Timorous Beasties upholstered sofa, relaxing 60's swivel chairs, a Freeview TV, 6ft pool table and piano keyboard. The lighting in both rooms is Varilight and dimmable from the light switch creating wonderful cosy atmospheres. There's also task lighting lamps for reading that special novel or preparing your travel list of adventures.

There's a compact but pretty WC with traditional fixtures and hand painted tiles from Spain.

The practical cloakroom sits at the back of the house and is large and light filled with a skylight and large glass sliding doors to another courtyard filled with greenery. It catches the light on long summer evenings and offers another area to sit and enjoy a cocktail or mocktail.

The utility area with washing machine, tumble dryer and drying rack offers all the convenience for your stay.

Underfloor heating throughout kitchen/dining garden room is cosy underfoot.

Soft press dimmable lighting throughout the house creates intimate atmospheres.

The well equipped kitchen has modern facilities - 2 fan ovens, large 5 ring gas hob, drawer units, dishwasher, kettle, Dualit toaster, microwave, kitchenaid mixer, smoothie maker all to ensure your holiday goes with a swing!

The outdoor patio has a 10 seater table and chairs and a Big Green Egg Charcoal BBQ for you to cook up a storm and enjoy outdoor dining. There's an additional outdoor relaxation area with sofas, hammock and snack table.

On the first floor there are 2 large characterful bedrooms. The main bedroom has a large southfacing bay window with beautiful working wooden shutters lined in velvet. A newly upholstered Victorian chaise in Susi Bellamy velvet invites you to relax with a book or a glass of something special. The large superking bed has plump cushions, feather and down duvet all with designer bedding.

The ensuite has a walk in shower and Toto bidet adding those luxurious touches. The House of Hackney wallpaper creates an opulent garden atmosphere and the granite wash stand and shiny chrome hardware provides an elegant touch.

Bedroom 2 has Farrow & Ball soft pink walls with a dynamic silk headboard for the King bed. A recycled boutique dressing table contains hairdryer and antique mirror for party prep, whilst bespoke bedside tables with elegant lamps and antique sari shades offer soft or task lighting. The Andrew Martin ceiling pendant provides a beautiful modern element in the tall ceilinged room.

On the top floor are 3 further beautifully decorated bedrooms with touch control bedside lighting, dressing tables and beautiful views from the large Victorian windows.
A large walk in shower room on this floor has a beautiful upcycled cabinet for your toiletries. The large wash stand adds another luxurious element. There is 1 King bed and a double bed in each of the other rooms.

We're delighted to offer you a pack of freshly ground coffee for your cafetiere along with Scottish shortbread and oatcakes. There's also tea on the shelf for your welcome cuppa. An information pack left at the house provides many links for local activities, farm food shops and fabulous walks. We also send it via email prior to your arrival.

You'll also find freshly laundered towels on your bed and a soft, white hand towel in each bathroom along with bath mats.

We also provide for your comfort: kitchen roll, toilet roll, dishwasher tabs, washing up liquid, tea towels, cleaning cloths, oven gloves, exquisite hand soap and a hair dryer in each bedroom.
