Summary - CASTLE GOGAR, 180, GLASGOW ROAD, EDINBURGH EH12 9BQ
Immaculately presented two-bedroom detached period cottage
A rare, immaculately presented two-bedroom detached period cottage, formerly the groundskeeper’s cottage for Gogar Castle. The single-storey layout and quality finishes — including a stylish kitchen, contemporary shower room, wood-burning stove and quality flooring — make this an attractive, ready-to-move-in home for downsizers or couples seeking character with modern convenience.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, double glazing, CCTV, extensive loft storage (fully floored with conversion potential subject to consents) and two large garages. The main garage has remote doors and a semi-rendered interior suited to a workshop, home gym or office; the second garage sits on a sizeable plot with potential for further development, subject to necessary planning permissions.
Important considerations: the property is in Council Tax Band H, so running costs are above average. The home has a single shower room only. The wider area is classified as very deprived, which may affect local services and resale dynamics despite excellent transport links to Edinburgh centre, the airport and nearby retail parks. Any structural changes or garage-site development will require planning consent.
Overall this property suits buyers wanting a distinctive, low-maintenance period home with strong character, flexible outbuildings and scope to add value via loft conversion or consented development. It is presented to a high standard but buyers should factor running costs and any planning process into their budget and timeline.
