This substantial Victorian detached villa on Lauder Road combines generous period proportions with contemporary family living across three levels. The house offers five bedrooms, five reception rooms and four bathrooms in almost 4,900 sqft, with high ceilings, ornate cornicing, original fireplaces and a striking stone staircase that retain strong period character.
Living and entertaining space centres on a large Mark Wilkinson kitchen and breakfast room with vaulted ceiling, polished granite surfaces, integrated appliances and a big AGA, opening directly to a paved terrace and a mature walled garden. The property also benefits from a detached double garage with automated door, off-street parking for up to four cars and multiple private outdoor seating areas — many rooms enjoy sweeping views towards Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags.
The layout is versatile for modern family life: formal drawing and dining rooms, a cosy snug, study and mezzanine bedroom/guest suite with en-suite. The mature gardens and raised vegetable beds are a major asset but will require ongoing maintenance. The house has been extensively upgraded, yet as a large period home some original fabric will need regular upkeep over time.
Important practical notes: the property is freehold with fast broadband and excellent mobile signal, but council tax is very high. The wider neighbourhood mixes ageing suburbia with cosmopolitan, student-oriented streets — ideal for families who value proximity to schools, parks and city amenities, though occasional local student activity should be expected. Overall, the home suits an established family seeking roomy, characterful accommodation with modern fittings and substantial outdoor space.
