Located in the heart of Eskbank, Dalkeith (EH22), this traditional cottage sits within one of Midlothian's most sought-after residential areas, known for its mature, leafy streets and strong commuter links to Edinburgh. The property reflects the area's characteristic blend of period charm and modern convenience, making sensitive improvement works essential to maintaining its value and character.
The original windows had reached the end of their performance life, contributing to noticeable heat loss, draught ingress, and reduced acoustic comfort, while still forming an important part of the building's traditional appearance.
Our team delivered a carefully considered replacement solution, installing seven bespoke casement windows designed to retain the original aesthetic of the property while significantly upgrading thermal performance through modern double glazing technology.
Each window was manufactured and installed to preserve the existing proportions and detailing, ensuring the external character of the cottage remained unchanged and in keeping with the surrounding streetscape.
The completed installation enhances comfort through improved energy efficiency, reduced draughts, and enhanced acoustic performance, while maintaining the property's original visual character.
This project demonstrates a considered balance between preservation and performance, enhancing everyday comfort while respecting the traditional character of a well-regarded Eskbank home.
