Summary - 71/3, CARNBEE AVENUE, EDINBURGH EH16 6GA
4 bed 3 bath Flat
Spacious period apartment with turret and park‑like communal gardens.
Almost 2,906 sqft across first and second floors
A grand, B‑listed upper apartment occupying the first and second floors of Southfield House, an 1875 Victorian mansion. At almost 2,906 sq ft the flat offers truly generous living: dual-aspect drawing room with ornate cornicing and marble fireplace, an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining/living room, four double bedrooms and three bathrooms, plus a distinctive turret room with far-reaching views.
The setting is a major asset — extensive south‑easterly communal gardens, mature trees and private driveway create a peaceful, park‑like environment. Practical benefits include two allocated parking spaces, communal lock-up storage and fast broadband and excellent mobile signal. The residency is supported by an active residents’ association and routine communal maintenance covered by an average service charge of approximately £1,200 per year.
Important practical notes: the property is B‑listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate refurbishment or extension plans. The service charge excludes buildings insurance and council tax is described as very expensive. The wider immediate area is described as very deprived, which may affect resale or rental appeal for some buyers.
This home will suit buyers seeking period character, space and a strong sense of privacy within a historic setting — families who want separate reception and bedroom wings, or buyers looking for a landmark apartment with scope to personalise within listed constraints. Budget for ongoing maintenance, listed‑building consent where needed, and higher local taxation when assessing affordability.
