Summary - 6, GLENLOCKHART VALLEY, EDINBURGH EH14 1DE
4 bed 2 bath Detached Bungalow
Large gardens and flexible living near Craiglockhart Hill.
Detached 1950s bungalow with extensive front, side and rear gardens
Set at the quiet end of a cul-de-sac and backing onto Craiglockhart Hill, this detached 1950s bungalow offers expansive, family-friendly accommodation with unusually large gardens. The living room’s vaulted, rustic ceiling, wood-burning stove and triple aspect create a bright, welcoming heart to the house, while the dining kitchen and raised decked area open easily for summer entertaining. A mezzanine level and a partially floored attic add flexible space for a home office, hobby area or storage, though they introduce internal steps so the layout is not single-level throughout.
Practical updates include double glazing and a new gas boiler and heating system completed in 2025. Parking and storage are strong features: a double garage with power and light plus a long driveway accommodate several vehicles and garden equipment. Broadband speeds are fast and mobile signal is excellent, supporting remote working and family connectivity.
Buyers should note material costs: Council Tax sits at Band G and is described as quite expensive. The property sits in an area classified as an affluent community, yet some local indicators show pockets of deprivation — worth checking if neighbourhood services or funding grades matter to you. The house is well-presented but, given its 1950s origins and partial mezzanine/attic layout, some purchasers may wish to update finishes or reconfigure spaces to modern preferences.
Overall, this home suits a family seeking generous indoor/outdoor space in a peaceful, woodland setting with strong transport and leisure amenities nearby. It combines character features and modern heating with scope for personalisation and flexible use of the mezzanine and attic spaces.
