Set on a generous private plot in highly desirable Barnton, this substantial 8-bedroom detached home offers flexible family living across multiple levels. Bright, south-facing reception rooms open to a landscaped rear garden and elevated terrace, creating a seamless flow for entertaining and family life. The first-floor lounge/snooker room and full-width balcony provide a pleasant outlook over the grounds. The property includes an integral triple garage and gated front garden, making it practical for family parking and secure outdoor play.
The ground floor houses three generous reception rooms, a large kitchen/dining area and a separate study, while two further floors accommodate eight bedrooms and four bathrooms — including an en suite to the principal bedroom. Lots of glazing and corner windows admit strong natural light. The top floor’s two double bedrooms and shower room are well suited to teenagers, guests or home working. The snooker table is included in the sale; other fixtures may be negotiated.
Buyers should note a few material points: the EPC is rated D, so energy-efficiency improvements could be needed; the property sits within the Cramond conservation area which limits external alterations; and council tax is described as very expensive. The listing data also flags wider area deprivation despite the house’s Barnton address, so purchasers should confirm local services and tenure implications for their needs.
Overall, this is a rare, large family house in a prestigious north Edinburgh location with considerable entertaining space, secure parking and private gardens. It will suit buyers seeking generous accommodation and scope to update energy performance and personalise interiors while benefiting from excellent local schools and transport links.
