An award winning sustainable premium gin distillery with botanical garden, including a cafe & bistro, events & wedding venue, shop and a five bedroom house.
Description
The Secret Herb Garden and The Secret Garden Distillery includes an award-winning sustainable premium gin distillery, extensive botanical herb garden, shop, bistro, award-winning events venue, parking for c.60 vehicles and a beautiful contemporary five-bedroom house with private gardens and orchard. This outstanding property is set within seven and a half acres at the foot of the glorious Pentland Hills Regional Park.
The current owners established the business in 2012 and it now encompasses the only Scottish premium gin distillery in the UK where the botanicals are grown, hand-harvested and hand-dried on site, where the gin is also distilled. The business is thriving, with an established international customer base, incorporating a number of blue chip venues, premier retail outlets and leading supermarkets.
This unique business includes trademarks, stock and licence for the events enterprise (currently let on a four year lease). Planning permission has been grated for a major new build distillery extension including new toilet facilities, visitor centre and offices. In addition there are numerous quirky buildings within the herb garden with a variety of uses, from warehousing and beekeeping facilities, to a yurt and a railway carriage which has been converted to an office for the bistro operators.
Location
The property is located on the outskirts of the city of Edinburgh, approximately 6.3 miles from the city centre but only 1.5 miles south of the City of Edinburgh bypass providing direct access for customers from the surrounding area. The bypass provides good access to the motorway network and also to Edinburgh International Airport (9.5 miles).
This unique destination sits at the foot of the The Pentland Hills Regional Park, a popular area for walking, mountain biking and fell running alike and is home to the Midlothian Ski Sports Centre. There are a number of local golf courses including Glencorse, Kings Acre and Broomieknowe, with all the links courses of East Lothian easily accessible.
Square Footage: 2,523 sq ft
Acreage: 7.5 Acres
Additional Info
Herb Cottage occupies a secluded position at the end of its own private drive within half an acre of natural surroundings. A great deal of attention and care has been spent ensuring Herb Cottage remains a family home detached from the business premises whilst at the same time remaining conveniently close.
This attractive and well-proportioned house was completed in 2015 and subtly combines the classic appearance of a Highland croft house with the finishes of a contemporary new build. It is of timber frame construction beneath a pitched slate roof. The walls are largely finished in a flat silicone render with areas of contrasting Siberian larch tongue and groove cladding.
Internally the accommodation has been thoughtfully laid out. The well-proportioned rooms naturally flow one to another and benefit from a wonderfully light atmosphere. On the ground floor a drawing room, a snug and an office are all arranged around a large family kitchen at the heart of the house. From the entrance hall there is also a utility room which leads to a toilet and shower room. On the first floor there are five bedrooms one of which has an ensuite bathroom and there is also a further shared bathroom.
Outside there are numerous outbuildings to include a greenhouse and extensive and well maintained gardens. To the rear of the house the kitchen opens onto a terrace comprising multiple raised beds and a sheltered spot for outside dining. Steps lead from the terrace up to a productive kitchen garden. To the side of the house is an orchard.
Planning permission has been granted for a garage and a tree house.
