Property description

The front door opens into a hallway with built-in storage, where a welcoming impression is set with neutral décor and a warm wood floor. Following the hall along to the end, you reach a wonderfully bright and spacious dining kitchen, offering the perfect setting for family life and entertaining alike, with ample room for a large dining table and chairs, and featuring delightful ceiling beams.

Temple is a tranquil village in the heart of Midlothian's beautiful countryside, under three miles from Gorebridge and just over 30 minutes' drive from Edinburgh.

The village's picturesque location surrounded by rolling hills and beautiful scenery, as well as being on the banks of the river South Esk, offers no shortage of opportunities for outdoor pursuits. For those who prefer to exercise indoors, nearby Gorebridge Leisure Centre and Newbattle Community Campus offer gyms and a swimming pool.
