Description

Carrington Kirk is a characterful 18th century former church, with a 3-bay T-plan design and tower, that has been carefully maintained and meticulously restored throughout its lifespan. There were alterations to the windows by Thomas Brown around 1838, with interior refurbishments by Brown and Wardrop in 1858 and architects Crichton, Lang, Willis and Galloway in 1984.

In its current ownership, since 2003, it has seen an extensive array of in-keeping and expert renovations to its pink sandstone stonework, windows, doors and internal features, including partitions, paintwork, floorcoverings, heating systems and more. The building retains a plethora of its original charm and is currently being used as a commercial office space, with potential for conversion into a residential dwelling subject to all the necessary consents.

The entranceway, with its exposed stonework and a door to the spiral tower staircase, opens into the airy vaulted space, with several divided sections housing glass partitions and raised platforms, a secondary spiral staircase and a turned stairway to the mezzanine floors above. The space is filled with natural light via the variety of fine arched, Gothic and diamond leaded windows, with tall A-frames, timber roof trusses, wood panelling and an intricate original colourful stained-glass piece.

Further are various store rooms, a cloakroom, an adjacent shower room and a utility/kitchen with wall and base cabinetry and a stainless-steel sink. On the bright mezzanine floor are additional well-sized and adaptable rooms within two of the three wings.

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.
