Positioned moments from Holyrood Park and a short walk to Portobello Beach, this newly renovated three-bedroom semi-detached house blends contemporary design with practical family living. The ground floor’s open-plan layout creates a natural flow between sitting, dining and the Rotpunkt kitchen, which features Silestone worktops and Siemens appliances. Large windows and high ceilings flood the space with light.
Quality finishes are consistent throughout: Peronda tiling, Acquabella sanitaryware, designer fittings, and new triple-glazed aluminium windows improve insulation and soundproofing. Practical extras include a private driveway, alarmed double garage, landscaped front and rear gardens, and a sheltered veranda/balcony overlooking the garden — useful for outdoor dining or a quiet retreat.
The house offers modern connectivity with excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, and is freehold. Note the property sits within an area recorded as deprived and council tax is described as expensive; buyers should factor running costs into their budgets. The recent comprehensive renovation in 2023 reduces immediate maintenance needs, though buyers should verify warranty and service details for installed appliances and systems.
This home will suit families seeking generous living space close to green spaces and the coast, or buyers wanting a turn-key, high-spec property with strong transport links to Edinburgh city centre. The double garage and driveway are rare local assets that add practical value.
