Description

A 300-year-old church in the heart of Midlothian is being offered for sale, presenting an exceedingly rare opportunity for discerning buyers to craft a private residence within a much-loved and evocative ecclesiastical building.

Built in 1710, this historic church in Carrington stands as a monument to craftsmanship and continuity, now poised for a graceful residential transformation.

With soaring vaulted ceilings, original stonework, and a peaceful village setting, the property offers a unique blend of romance and potential.

Planning guidance has been established for a sensitive four-bedroom conversion that would retain the soul of the structure while opening it to contemporary living.

The property sits in a prime position within a generous lawned wrap-around churchyard which is owned and maintained by Midlothian Council, encircled by corresponding stone walling.

A central gravel pathway and forecourt lead up to the frontage of the building, with on-street parking available.

The versatile and historic stone-built single-storey session house at the gates of the Church is thought to have been built around 1838, alongside renovations by Thomas Brown. It has been used for both storage and as an additional office.

The peaceful semi-rural village of Carrington is surrounded by scenic countryside offering a range of outdoor pursuits and benefits from easy access to a comprehensive range of local amenities at the thriving Midlothian towns of Bonnyrigg, Gorebridge, Dalkeith and the pretty villages of Temple and Roslin.

There is a wide selection of shops and supermarkets within easy reach, such as Straiton Retail Park and Fort Kinnaird. Along with leisure and educational facilities.

Central Edinburgh is 11 miles distant, offering easy access to the retail and commercial city centre, with a wealth of additional shopping, recreational and cultural amenities. Gorebridge, Newtongrange and Eskbank Stations offer fast and regular rail links to the city and beyond, with convenient road connections via the A7 and M8.
