Summary - 4, ST MARGARET'S ROAD EH9 1AZ
5 bed 3 bath Detached
Substantial period family home with large garden and garage.
Extremely large Victorian villa — approx. 5,457 sq ft and high ceilings
4 St Margaret’s Road is an exceptionally large Victorian detached villa offering circa 5,457 sq ft across three floors — high ceilings, decorative cornicing and bay windows give the house classic period presence. The layout includes generous reception rooms, a conservatory, extensive cellar storage, two attic rooms and a practical kitchen, making the property well suited to a large family or those wanting substantial living and entertaining space.
Set back behind a private driveway with a garage and a mature, private rear garden, the home combines privacy with strong outdoor space in a desirable Greenhill street. Its position places the Meadows, Bruntsfield Links and local independent schools within easy reach, while the city centre, university and cultural amenities are around 1.5 miles away.
The house retains many original features but is offered with an EPC rating of D and will likely benefit from targeted modernisation to improve energy efficiency and services. Council Tax band H and notably high running costs should be considered. The wider area is classified as professional/cosmopolitan but local area data notes deprivation, which may affect some community services and perceptions.
This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial, characterful freehold villa with scope for sympathetic updating, extension or reconfiguration (subject to consents). Its size, period detail and garden make it an appealing proposition for large families or buyers seeking a prominent, long-term family home in south Edinburgh.
