Behind its charming red brick exterior, 90 Main Street offers the perfect blend of period features and contemporary touches, and with three bedrooms, spacious living areas, a large garden, and a double driveway is sure to appeal to families and professionals seeking a quiet, yet well-connected home.
On opening the front door, you are welcomed inside by an inviting hall concealing handy under-stair storage. At the end of the hall to the right, you step into a well-proportioned reception room, with plenty of room for lounge furniture and a dining area. At the focal point is a wood-burning stove set into a brick surround, nestled under a wood mantel, and flanked by open shelving. Conveniently accessed from here is a kitchen. Adding a contemporary element, the kitchen (with garden access) is equipped with gloss-white wall and base cabinets, supplemented by wood-inspired worktops and white metro-tiled splashbacks and integrated with a full complement of appliances. Completing the ground-floor accommodation is the first of three double bedrooms. Currently being used as a home office, the room showcases the flexibility of the property and incorporates fantastic fitted book shelving spanning the entirety of a wall.
On the first floor, a landing leads to the two remaining bedrooms, a bathroom and a floored loft. The master enjoys understated white décor, a fitted carpet, and a period fireplace, as well a dressing room, whilst the remaining bedroom, with rich wood flooring, overlooks the garden and accommodates fitted storage. Finally, the attractive bathroom, with wall panelling and a rustic tiled floor, comprises a rolltop bath with a shower overhead, a basin set on a handy storage unit, and a WC. Gas central heating and double glazing (except the living room) ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.
Externally, the cottage is accompanied by a low-maintenance front garden and a large, favourably sunny rear garden. The reassuringly-secure rear garden, with gated access to the private double driveway, is the perfect outdoor space for family recreation and entertaining, with a decked dining terrace and a well-maintained lawn.
Nestled on the southern fringes of Dalkeith and some three miles from Edinburgh City Bypass, the former mining village of Newtongrange has seen its popularity soar since the opening of the Borders Railway in 2015, with young families and commuting professionals seeking a more relaxed, small-town lifestyle within easy reach of the capital.

Nursery and primary schooling is provided locally at Newtongrange Primary School, which is a feeder school for Newbattle Community High School. In addition to fantastic rail and bus links into the heart of the capital, Newtongrange benefits from excellent connections to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh International Airport and the M8/M9 motorway network via the A7.
