Local area shows deprivation indicators despite established suburb
This refurbished three-bedroom Edwardian villa combines retained period character with contemporary comforts across three levels. The ground floor features a bay-windowed reception with ornate cornicing and an open-plan dining kitchen; a useful utility/office opens directly to the rear garden. Upstairs, the principal bedroom enjoys distant views to the Pentlands while a rear double bedroom looks towards Arthur’s Seat. A smaller third bedroom suits a child or study.
Recent upgrades include double glazing throughout, new gas central heating and wet underfloor heating to the ground floor, plus contemporary bathroom fittings. The enclosed rear garden with lawn, greenhouse, shed and mature fruit trees offers private outdoor space for children and gardening.
Practical points to note: the house is freehold with on-street parking only, Council Tax band F (expensive) and an EPC around D, so running costs may be higher than newer homes. The property sits in an established suburb with excellent mobile and fast broadband, though local area deprivation indicators should be considered alongside the broadly affluent neighbourhood profile.
This is a well-presented period family home for buyers wanting character, ready-to-live-in condition and garden space, while being prepared for the ongoing costs associated with an older home in Council Tax band F.
