Detached mid‑century two‑storey house with bay windowed sitting room
A bright, spacious detached mid‑century family house with strong view lines towards the Pentland Hills, Edinburgh Castle and Fife. The property sits on a generous mature plot with a large private garden, conservatory and two garages, offering comfortable family living now with clear potential to modernise and extend (subject to consent). An attic room has been used successfully as a home office, adding flexible space for working from home or storage.
The interior retains mid‑20th century features such as a bay‑windowed sitting room, traditional fireplace, frosted glass doors and arched details, but the kitchen and bathroom would benefit from updating to meet contemporary tastes. Practical positives include a downstairs WC, under‑stair storage, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband speeds — useful for modern family and remote working needs.
Buyers should note the property is EPC rating D and in Council Tax Band G, so running costs may be higher than average. The house presents renovation potential; some elements are high‑maintenance (ivy on façade, mature planting) and will require upkeep. The home is freehold, offered in a sought Fairmilehead setting that is generally affluent though some local indicators show pockets of deprivation, so prospective buyers should check local services and costs.
This house will suit families seeking lots of space and scope to put their own stamp on a substantial, well‑located home, or investors looking for a renovation project in a desirable suburb of Edinburgh.
