Newlandburn House was built by James Dewar in 1752, with the drawing room added in 1900. The B-listed property has a classical Georgian appearance and ranks as one of the most charming houses in the area surrounding Edinburgh. Newlandburn is further enhanced by the wonderful private grounds which surround the property, designed by Gertrude Jekyll. The property is approached via a private tree-lined driveway with a circular gravel turning circle and parking area to the front. Newlandburn has retained many period features including beautifully proportioned reception rooms, intricate cornicing and wood burning stoves. The drawing room was a later addition but again is an elegant room with large bay window overlooking the garden and French doors leading out to the patio. The upstairs bedrooms are all well proportioned with attractive cornicing and include three front bedrooms overlooking the gardens. The house also has the advantage of having a self-contained 2-bedroom two storey wing with its own entrance which requires refurbishment.

Gardens and Outbuildings
One of the great features of Newlandburn are the gardens and grounds surrounding the property extending to about 8.25 acres. Whilst the gardens have altered since its original designs provided by Gertrude Jekyll, it still retains intimate quality. It includes formal front lawns interspersed with gravelled paths, planted borders and enclosed by deer fencing. Outwith the formal gardens there is a former bowling green and a large orchard surrounded by mature trees. There is also an attractive burn with footbridge and a block of mixture mature woodland extending to 1.93 acres providing a lovely walk and haven for wildlife. There is also a tennis court. To the east of the driveway there is a pony paddock extending to about 3.26 acres.
