Summary - 11, HARPER PLACE EH17 8BG
4 bed 2 bath Detached
Spacious family layout with garage, garden and good commuter links.
Quiet residential street close to bypass and bus links
Set on a quiet residential street on Edinburgh’s outskirts, this modern four-bedroom detached house offers family-friendly living with practical extras. The principal bedroom includes built-in storage and an en-suite shower room, while three further good-sized bedrooms share a bright family bathroom. Ground-floor living is centred around a southwest-facing lounge and a well-equipped dining kitchen that opens onto a secure, low-maintenance garden with garage and private driveway.
The layout is sensible for everyday family life: entrance hall with storage and WC, adjoining utility room off the kitchen, and generous room proportions throughout. The property is presented in tasteful decorative condition and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing. Broadband speeds are fast and local bus routes plus the nearby bypass make commuting straightforward.
Important practical points: the home sits in a postcode area flagged as relatively deprived and council tax is described as quite expensive — factors to weigh for ongoing costs and resale. Overall size is average at around 1,399 sq ft, so while rooms are well-proportioned, buyers seeking very large living areas should note the footprint. The garden is low-maintenance rather than extensive, and the detached garage provides useful storage or parking.
This house will suit families wanting a ready-to-live-in modern home with sensible storage and outdoor space, and buyers who prioritise commuting access. It also offers potential for modest updating to personalise finishes or reconfigure spaces for growing needs.
