Summary - 15, BLACKET PLACE, EDINBURGH EH9 1RJ
6 bed 6 bath Detached
Large Georgian family home with garden and parking in Blacket Conservation Area.
Six double bedrooms and six bathrooms across ~4,747 sq ft
A rare, spacious Regency detached house in Edinburgh’s Blacket Conservation Area, Newington Cottage offers almost 4,750 sq ft of period living across six bedrooms and six bathrooms. Designed by Thomas Hamilton circa 1836, the ashlar sandstone façade, high ceilings and decorative mouldings create an immediate sense of history and architectural quality. A private garden and off-street parking for 2–3 cars add practical family comforts in a central south Edinburgh location.
This home will suit an established family or buyer seeking a high‑end period residence with generous reception rooms and flexible bedroom accommodation. The house has strong connectivity (excellent mobile signal) and straightforward access to central Edinburgh and local amenities, including nurseries, shops and good schooling.
Important practical points are set out plainly: the property is Category B listed and lies within a conservation area, which will restrict alterations and could complicate maintenance or modernisation. The EPC is rated D, council tax is very expensive (Band H), and broadband speeds are average. The wider area is described as very deprived in local classification — buyers should consider local social context alongside the property’s individual merits.
For those who value architectural authenticity and scale, the house represents a significant, characterful home with scope for careful restoration or sensitive upgrading. Buyers should budget for specialist listed‑building work and factor in higher running costs and planning constraints when assessing value.
