Summary - 3, ELLERSLY ROAD, EDINBURGH EH12 6HY
3 bed 2 bath Detached Villa
Spacious character home with garage loft, private courtyard and conversion potential.
Distinctive Victorian stone façade with period character features
A distinctive Victorian stone-built detached villa set within the sought-after Murrayfield Conservation Area, this deceptively spacious house blends period character with practical living. The ground floor offers a superb open-plan reception and dining room with exposed stone, a multi-fuel stove and full-length windows leading to a private, low-maintenance courtyard — ideal for alfresco dining. The well-equipped kitchen/breakfast room includes a Rangemaster cooker and integrated appliances, while a ground-floor shower room adds everyday convenience.
Upstairs provides three generous double bedrooms, including a principal room with extensive fitted wardrobes and an adjoining dressing room that could be converted into an en-suite subject to consents. The property benefits from a garage with an excellent floored loft room accessed by fixed ladder — a ready home gym or office. Heating is gas central with a Worcester combi boiler and first-floor windows have secondary glazing, improving comfort and efficiency.
Practical points to note: the EPC is rated E and the property sits in Council Tax Band F, which will affect running costs. Parking is a shared courtyard space plus plentiful on-street parking; the private garden is a sheltered cobbled and paved courtyard rather than a large lawn. The local area classification notes communal retirement and pockets of deprivation — buyers should consider neighbourhood suitability and long-term resale factors.
This house will suit buyers looking for a character-filled family home or a professional couple wanting generous rooms close to city amenities. It offers immediate liveability with clear scope to personalise (en-suite creation, cosmetic updating) and a useful outbuilding loft room that adds flexible workspace without major structural works.
