Summary - 16, DECHMONT ROAD, EDINBURGH EH12 8JP
3 bed 1 bath Semi-Detached Bungalow
Ready home with major redevelopment upside and large private garden.
Planning permission for a three-storey, three-bedroom detached house on the plot
Substantial private rear garden with mature trees and paved seating areas
Double driveway providing superb off-street parking and garage potential
Three bedrooms and one family bathroom; single bathroom only
Approx 926 sq ft of living space; freehold tenure
Property currently empty; virtual staging used to illustrate potential
Council Tax Band F — higher ongoing running costs
Local area: affluent neighbourhood but wider area has some deprivation indicators
This well-presented three-bedroom semi-detached bungalow sits on a substantial corner plot in Corstorphine, offering a rare combination of ready-to-live-in accommodation and clear redevelopment potential. The house is freehold and arranged over a single main level with an extra upper bedroom, a bright rear reception room, fitted kitchen and family bathroom — a straightforward family home in good condition. The property is currently empty and has been virtually staged to illustrate possibilities.
The standout feature is the large private garden and double driveway; planning permission is already in place to replace the bungalow with a three-storey, three-bedroom detached house or alternatively to accommodate a summer house/eco-pod while retaining garden space. Vendors and advisors have estimated a potential post-development valuation of around £550,000, which will interest investors and purchasers seeking value through extension or rebuild.
Practical points are clear and upfront: the home measures about 926 sq ft, has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and is freehold. It has just one bathroom, and the council tax is Band F (expensive), which should be factored into running costs. Local information is mixed: the immediate neighbourhood is classed as an affluent community within an ageing suburban area, though some wider-area indicators note pockets of deprivation.
This property will suit buyers wanting immediate, comfortable accommodation with scope to add significant value via the permitted development, or families seeking a roomy garden and good off-street parking close to local amenities. More detailed planning documentation and further information about the plot are available on request.
