South-facing integrated kitchen with balcony and garden access
Principal bedroom with triple glazing and stylish en-suite shower room
New boiler installed 2022; gas central heating with efficient radiators

Lower-ground rooms offer space but reduced natural light
This handsome three-storey Edwardian sandstone home in Corstorphine offers generous, flexible accommodation across well-proportioned rooms ideal for family life. Tall ceilings, period detailing and a bright south-facing aspect create a light, airy interior with an elegant bay-fronted living room and a principal bedroom with high-end triple glazing and en-suite.
Practical upgrades include a new boiler (2022), eco-features such as an EV charging point and predominantly double glazing. The kitchen links directly to a suntrap seating balcony and secure walled garden, while a multi-vehicle gravel driveway provides convenient off-street parking. Three cellar rooms provide substantial storage and genuine potential for further development, subject to planning consents.
The layout suits family routines — dining and breakfast spaces off the kitchen, a fitted utility room, and generous bedroom accommodation across the upper and lower floors. Nearby Corstorphine Hill Nature Reserve, local schools and good transport links place green space and city amenities within easy reach.
Notable practical considerations: the EPC is rated D and the property falls in Council Tax Band E, meaning running costs are above average. The cellar areas would require formal consent and likely works for conversion. Some rooms on the lower-ground level will receive less natural light. The wider area data flags higher deprivation locally, which may affect some services and perceptions despite the immediate neighbourhood’s professional demographic.
