Offering seclusion and spectacular views, Whitehill Country Estate is a unique residential proposition for those seeking an outstanding quality of life, at just thirty minutes from the centre of Edinburgh. The Estate is located in the picturesque village of Rosewell, Midlothian; an area that borders Edinburgh, East Lothian and the Scottish Border regions. The world-famous Rosslyn Chapel, and National Mining Museum lie in neighbouring towns.
Accessed via a private drive, the estate is nothing short of breath-taking. This unique development centres around Whitehill House, an impressive example of Tudor Jacobean architecture which sits majestically in mature grounds, surrounded by the estate’s own golf course.
This pioneering development is like no other. The sensitive restoration of the main house contrasts with pockets of exclusive architecturally designed homes around the estate, forging a diverse and vibrant community.
The development of Whitehill Country Estate will be phased over several years. The first phase saw the completion of Whitehill Woods, a group of ten distinctly designed executive level homes completed in 2020. The second phase sees the release of The Stables at Whitehill Country Estate featuring eight apartments annexed off the main house and set around the courtyard of the original stable block. Work has also begun on the redevelopment of the main house itself, which will contain eighteen apartments accessed from a grand foyer featuring high ceilings, carved oak staircase, and an elaborate carved stone fireplace featuring the Ramsay crest and figurines.
Planning has been approved for the subsequent clusters of homes, which have been sensitively positioned amongst existing mature woodlands to limit the impact on previous phases. This retains a sense of seclusion across the estate and enables each phase to develop its own identity and micro-community.
The sensitive restoration and redevelopment of the former stable block at Whitehill Country Estate has created eight completely unique one and two-bedroom properties. Each enjoys their own layout, original features, and distinctive charm. Attached to the Main House, and accessed via a most impressive stone entrance, the first impressions of these homes are magnificent, and a real pleasure to arrive. Behind the stone entrance lies a beautifully hard landscaped courtyard with a feature eucalyptus tree taking centre stage. The transformation of the old stables into private homes has been well considered. Each home delivers on practicalities as well as appearance with an exceptional level of built-in storage provided in the form of contemporary sliding wardrobes and expansive under stair cupboards. Most properties feature en-suites off principal bedrooms and, where possible, separate utility rooms have been created to allow the everyday tasks to remain hidden. These wonderful homes are therefore ideal for those seeking a slice of exclusive country living, either as a main home or second residence.
