Victorian detached villa of 4,626 sq ft, six bedrooms, three bathrooms
Set on one of Inverleith’s most prestigious streets, this substantial Victorian detached villa offers over 4,600 sq ft of flexible family accommodation with exceptional southerly views across Inverleith Park to the New Town and Edinburgh Castle. High ceilings, bay windows, fine timberwork and original mantelpieces combine with a large dining kitchen, spectacular orangery and generous reception rooms to create an elegant family home with space for living, working and entertaining.
Accommodation is arranged over three floors with five double bedrooms across the ground and first floors and a sixth bedroom at upper level. The principal living areas at garden level include a TV room, gym/games room, study, utility and a well-equipped kitchen opening to the light-filled orangery and private garden terrace. Outside, a gated driveway provides ample off-street parking, while mature, landscaped gardens and a recently terraced west boundary provide year-round planting and a hot tub.
Important practical points are that the house is Category C listed and lies within a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment. The property was extensively refurbished around 2007 by Tremmel Properties, but its age (built 1894) and listed status mean ongoing maintenance and consented works should be expected. EPC rating D and very high council tax banding are also material running-cost considerations.
This is a rare opportunity for a large, characterful family home in a highly sought-after school catchment and city-central location. Buyers seeking period detail, generous living space and south-facing park views — and who are comfortable with listed-building constraints and associated upkeep — will find strong appeal here.
