The property
An opportunity has arisen to purchase a fully furnished and well equipped stone built, substantial Victorian terraced villa (around 1875) which has been upgraded and modernised to the highest of standards. Situated on the south side of the popular Grange/Newington area only 1½ miles from the business and historical centre of Edinburgh, this immaculately and well-presented villa has been operating as a Tourist Board 3-star guest house and the property offers a purchaser with potential to create a spacious and desirable family home or it has scope for conversion for business or residential units (subject to all necessary permissions). The flexible accommodation is situated over three floors and all rooms are in fresh and recent decorative order and are fully furnished and equipped. The accommodation presently offers versatile accommodation which is presently laid out with a comfortable lounge leading to the conservatory/dining-room, a fully fitted kitchen, ten luxurious bedrooms (nine with en suite facilities) and a family shower room. Throughout the house can be seen quality period details all preserved and well maintained with intricate detailed cornice work, carved bannisters and original fireplaces. Secondary glazing has been installed to the windows at the front of the building and gas central heating is provided for this house. The area of Newington/the Grange has many local shopping outlets providing day-to-day requirements for the residents. There are further shopping facilities at nearby Cameron Toll with further outlets at Morningside, including Waitrose. The house is also well located for access to Edinburgh University, the Royal Infirmary and the Scottish Parliament. For outdoor pursuits there are golf courses within the area, and Holyrood Park, Arthur's Seat, the Meadows, the Heritage of Braids are a short distance away, along with the Midlothian Snow Sports centre at Hillend. The Commonwealth Pool and Warrender Swim Centre are all within easy reach. Many buses serve this area leading into the city centre and other parts of the town and there is also easy access travelling in a southerly direction to the Edinburgh City Bypass and from there to the central motorway network, Edinburgh International Airport and Queensferry Crossing. The house is set back with a paved area and front, and to the rear is a delightful enclosed rear garden which is safe and secluded. This property must be seen to appreciate its exceptional potential for either private accommodation or a flourishing business and early viewing is accordingly recommended.
