This substantial five-bedroom Victorian detached home sits in a peaceful Duddingston location and is presented in excellent condition throughout. The house offers flexible multi-story living across approximately 2,059 sq ft, with generous reception rooms, a large open-plan dining kitchen with bay window, a sunroom opening to the garden, and plentiful attic storage. Solar panels and an EV charger in the double garage reduce running costs and add modern convenience.
The property is well suited to families needing space and practical outdoor living. A sunny, walled north-west facing garden provides privacy and an all-day outdoor spot for children and entertaining. The ground floor layout includes two bedrooms (one adaptable as a study or guest room), utility access, and easy flow between kitchen, dining and living areas — convenient for family life and hosting.
Buyers should note some important running-cost and location factors. The EPC rating is E and the property sits in Council Tax Band G, which will affect energy use and annual bills despite the solar installation. The wider area is classified as deprived, which may influence local services and investment over time.
Overall this is a large, characterful family house combining period features with useful modern additions (solar panels, EV charger, fast broadband and excellent mobile signal). It will suit buyers seeking versatile accommodation close to Duddingston, Holyrood Park and Portobello, who are comfortable with the council tax and EPC realities or who plan energy upgrades.
