Lynburn Cottage is a charming semi-detached cottage offering spacious and flexible family accommodation with a wealth of character. The cottage is situated in the village Carlops that was founded in 1784, when Robert Brown the Laird of Newhall established a cotton weaving industry laying out rows of weavers’ cottages on either side of the main Edinburgh-Biggar Road. The village developed in association with cotton weaving and the mining of coal and limestone. In the late 19th century its industry declined and it became a health-resort, also relying on links with the Edinburgh poet Allan Ramsay (1713-84). The village is now a lovely conservation village and is nestled at the foot of the on the North Esk, 6 miles (10 km) southwest of and 21/2 miles (4 km) north northeast of . The village location also means it is within easy commuting distance of Edinburgh City Centre (1/2 hour to the City Centre and 10 - 15 minutes to bypass).

There is easy access to countryside walks, horse riding and golf locally. Carlops enjoys an active community with regular events (theatre, music and films), activities (children’s groups and exercise classes) and a popular local produce market in the village hall. There is also a well-regarded local pub

The property features in a number of historic accounts of Carlops and was in 1824 awarded the Highland Society of inaugural silver medal for the "best and cleanest kept cottage in Scotland".

The large, fully enclosed and very private rear garden is a superb feature and includes an attractive selection of established plants and shrubs and patio areas. Driveway leading to detached garage.
