Graceful is a word rarely used when describing a house, but it is perfectly appropriate for 8 Cygnet Crescent, Dalkeith. Set on this peaceful Dalkeith street, the immaculate leafy frontage says nothing as to what is behind an ivy clad wall and secure entry gate.
Once inside, the property is enchanting. Set back on the block, the home is approached along a pillared colonnade that reveals the beauty of the grounds.
The garden has a formal layout with parterre hedges and a small pergola, but there is a joyous freedom in the choice of plants, shrubs and trees that puts rigid formality to flight. A decorative pond and water feature completes a landscape that provides endless pleasure to most rooms in the house.
The home has a timeless elegance with no jarring features in an environment of light, space and privacy. A two storey entry void, perfectly proportioned rooms, high ceilings and a quiet color palette come together effortlessly. The interior is subtly softened by a curved wall that follows the sweep of a grand staircase. All rooms have many windows and French doors, allowing natural light to fill the home - controlled by window treatments, shutters or blinds.
In a leafy corner of the garden, a Roman inspired plunge pool is the perfect summer place to relax, sip a frosty champagne and call for someone to peel you a grape!
To the right of the entry, the formal dining room and sitting area - richly carpeted, with a fireplace and superb window treatments - overlooks the Roman pool. In the evenings, the illuminated pool and water feature add a special magic to this beautiful entertaining...
