More recently, the current owners have seamlessly and sensitively extended the property &#8211; retaining its handsome stonework, clay-tiled roof, and period detailing \u2013 to create a spacious contemporary home with added benefits, namely a self-contained one-bedroomed annexe, and three, independent one-bedroomed bothies, ideal for extended family living, guests, or letting income.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   style=\"width: 100%;\"\/>(Image: Cullertons)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  In addition, the landscaped gardens include a gated driveway and five garages, while the surrounding estate grounds &#8211; officially designated a Designed Landscape of National Importance &#8211; offer a network of woodland paths and open parkland to explore and enjoy.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  This home has many wonderful period features, evident from the start with original <a href=\"https:\/\/www.heraldscotland.com\/topics\/art\/?ref=au\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Art<\/a> Nouveau tiles in the parquet-floored entrance hall, at the end of which is an impressive 26ft \u00a0formal living room\/library with period fireplace and open fire, while an expansive window and large skylight ensure the bespoke fitted library area is conducive for reading as well as relaxation and entertaining.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The reception hall also gives access to two double bedrooms and a bathroom. Off the living room is an office and inner hallway leading to a snug\/bedroom, fully fitted utility, and large bathroom with twin basins, freestanding bath, and separate shower \u2013 the living room also has double doors into a spectacular 23ft garden room with two walls of bi-fold doors \u2013 one set opening fully onto the garden, the other set into a 30ft L-shaped breakfasting kitchen\/family dining room, the latter the undisputed heart of this remarkable home.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   style=\"width: 100%;\"\/>(Image: Cullertons)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Upstairs are two further bedrooms, serviced by a large bathroom and adjoining utility. Completing the accommodation is a cleverly designed self-contained annexe. Tucked discreetly to the side of the property and accessed either from the main house or via its own private entrance, the annexe has a shower room, and spacious living area, fully integrated kitchen, and double bedroom in one harmonious open plan space. \u00a0\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Standout features, too many to mention, include the sleek, contemporary kitchen which showcases a bank of sophisticated integrated appliances (including twin ovens, built-in coffee machine, and two wine cooler drawers), while an elegant island in polished Silestone houses an integrated induction hob, gas hob, and instant hot tap.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  <img   style=\"width: 100%;\"\/>(Image: Cullerton&#8217;s)\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  However, the most visually striking space is the Garden Room, which courtesy of bi-fold doors (and a lantern skylight), connects seamlessly with the outdoors \u2013 and facing due south, is bathed in sunshine throughout the day.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  That just leaves the enchanting, mature country garden, which is entirely enclosed making it ideal for pets and children. Incorporating mature trees, seasonal planting, established plants, lawns, terraces, and a driveway leading to the garages, annexe, bothies and two workshops,\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The Old Dairy epitomises country living at its best, yet is only minutes from South Queensferry. Offers over \u00a31.45m are invited by Cullertons in Edinburgh.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Built around the turn of the 20th Century as part of the castle\u2019s working home farm, the dairy&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":488581,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8816],"tags":[748,1102,4884,712,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-488580","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-edinburgh","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-edinburgh","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-scotland","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115350429879949531","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488580","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=488580"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/488580\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/488581"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=488580"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=488580"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=488580"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
