A beautiful 5-bedroom semi-detached family home within an historic country house, boasting stunning period features and lovely views towards the Pentland Hills, set in over 6 acres of private gardens and grounds. <br/><br/>Loganbank House is an early 19th century country house that dates from circa 1810. The former estate was originally known as ‘East Kirklands’ and served as a small, thatched summer residence for the Rev John Inglis, a prominent Minister of Old Greyfriars Kirk in Edinburgh (serving between 1799 – 1834). In 1834, it then passed to Inglis’s eldest son, Harry Maxwell Inglis, and in 1860, the house was substantially enlarged, transforming it into an elegant Victorian mansion by celebrated Scottish architect David Bryce (1803 – 1876) - known for his work on Fettes College, Rosslyn Chapel and Penicuik House. The house remained as a detached country residence until the 1970’s when it was then subdivided into three separate independent dwellings. <br/><br/>Loganbank House forms a substantial part of the historic category B-Listed former mansion of the same name. The house benefits from having its own private gravelled parking area outside the house as well as a private driveway accessed through remote controlled electric gates. <br/><br/>The house retains many beautiful period features to include stunning open fireplaces, ornate cornicing and ceiling panels, intricately moulded door pediments and large, floor-to-ceiling bay windows that showcase the lovely gardens and spectacular views of the Pentlands beyond. In addition, the heavy oak panelling and doors throughout various rooms of Loganbank House are widely believed to be of ecclesiastical origin from the nearby 17th century Glencorse Old Kirk. <br/><br/>Summary of Accommodation<br/><br/>Ground Floor: Entrance Vestibule, Entrance Hall, Drawing Room, Dining Room, Living Room, Inner Hall, Dining Kitchen, Study with WC and a Utility Room<br/><br/>First Floor: Landing, Principal Bedroom with Ensuite Bathroom, Four Further Double Bedrooms and Two Family Bathrooms <br/><br/>Garden: Well-maintained gardens that are predominantly laid to lawn surrounded by mature trees and woodland.
