This distinctive semi‑detached home, designed in 1980 by Gareth Hutchison, offers exceptionally generous accommodation across almost 4,000 sq ft. Its mid‑century Southern California influences are evident in full‑height glazing, timber cladding and a striking open‑tread spiral staircase, creating bright, flowing living spaces that suit family life and entertaining.
The property sits within a very large plot of around one‑third of an acre, planted with rhododendrons, hydrangeas and mature trees, and has private access onto the 18th tee of Bruntsfield Golfing Society. A double garage with EV charger, additional off‑street parking and useful loft storage add practical convenience for day‑to‑day living.
Internally the layout favours flexible family use: open‑plan living with a sunken sitting room and feature chimneypiece, a triple‑aspect kitchen/breakfast room with Smeg hob and Bosch dishwasher, a ground‑floor L‑shaped office (previously two rooms) and three first‑floor bedrooms, including a principal suite with balcony and en suite. There is significant long‑term storage in the attic, accessed by ladder.
Buyers should note material points plainly: council tax is very expensive (Band H) and the house retains period fittings and 1980s finishes in places, which may require updating to suit contemporary tastes. The attic is accessed by a ladder rather than a fixed staircase and some internal features reflect their original era rather than modern remodelling. Local data lists mixed area indicators: classified locally as affluent yet wider metrics also register deprivation—prospective purchasers should verify local services and school catchments to their satisfaction.
