Summary - 3, DURHAM ROAD, EDINBURGH EH15 1NU
5 bed 2 bath Detached
Extensive period home with garden, garage and coastal access for family life.
Five spacious double bedrooms including principal with ensuite
A rare Victorian detached family home on Durham Road, set on a generous private plot close to Portobello beach. This substantial property blends classic period features — bay windows, high ceilings and ornate stonework — with contemporary finishes and a fully renovated lower ground level. The heart of the house is a bright open-plan kitchen/family room with skylights and direct access to a thoughtfully landscaped rear garden with a bespoke outdoor kitchen, ideal for family entertaining.
Accommodation is spacious throughout: five double bedrooms including a principal suite with ensuite, multiple formal reception rooms, and a versatile ground-floor bedroom that suits guests or a home office. The lower ground floor provides a large playroom, utility and extensive storage, adding practical family space. Off-street parking for several cars, a detached garage with an adjoining office/storage room, and excellent mobile and broadband connectivity support busy modern life.
Location is a key draw — quiet, leafy Durham Road in Duddingston is close to local schools, parks and the seaside amenities of Portobello. Regular buses, nearby Brunstane station and easy access to the City Bypass make commuting straightforward. For leisure, Holyrood Park, Arthur’s Seat and other green spaces are nearby.
Important practical notes: the property has an EPC rating of D and sits in Council Tax band H, so running costs are above average. The wider area statistics include pockets of high deprivation despite a local profile of highly qualified professionals; buyers should consider the broader neighbourhood context. Tenure is freehold and the home is offered as a very large, well-presented family house with excellent scope for long-term family living.
