Property Description

Comiston Stables presents a very unique opportunity to acquire an exceptional and highly individual home, forming part of a beautifully restored 200-year-old Georgian stable block, originally within the grounds of Comiston House. Completed to an exacting standard in 2016, the property seamlessly blends striking period architecture with refined contemporary living, extending to approximately 2,745 sq ft, with an additional double garage.

Occupying a unique and secluded position at the end of a lane (White Lady Walk), the property is the sole residence accessed via this route. The approach, through protected woodland under a conservation order, opens into a secure, fully enclosed courtyard accessed via electric gates. The courtyard provides a private and enclosed space, accessible from three rooms in the house and is ideal for both entertaining and day-to-day living. Beyond, an L-shaped garden extends to the side and rear, with a patio perfectly positioned to capture afternoon and evening sun.

A rare and historic feature within the grounds is the 400-year-old defence tower, originating from Comiston Castle and later converted into a traditional dovecot. This remarkable structure has been maintained by the present owners and was repointed in 2025. The property further benefits from a spacious double garage with power and lighting. Thoughtfully designed exterior lighting enhances the architectural character of the home by night.

Finished immaculately, a dramatic vaulted entrance hall with solid oak and glass staircase creates an impressive sense of arrival. A generous, beautiful sitting room leading through to an open plan kitchen/dining room on the east wing of the property provides excellent living and entertaining space. On the west wing, a principal bedroom with ensuite shower room as well as the useful utility, gym/bedroom, study and elegant shower room complete the ground floor.

On the second floor, two fabulously proportioned bedrooms, one with en suite shower room and a large bathroom, complete this very special home.

Location

This beautiful house sits in the Fairmilehead area of south Edinburgh, close to Morningside. While Fairmilehead itself offers a wide variety of shopping facilities, the large retail park at Straiton is also easily accessed and the surrounding areas of Comiston, Swanston and Morningside provide further excellent shopping facilities. The renowned financial and business districts of the City Centre are easily reached through frequent public transport services running from the main road.

Sporting and recreational facilities in the area include Swanston, Lothianburn, Braid Hills and Mortonhall Golf courses and the Royal Commonwealth Pool is also a short drive away. For film and theatre enthusiasts, the Dominion Cinema and the Churchill Theatre are also easily accessible. A wealth of both private and public schools are located in surrounding areas and include James Gillespie's, George Heriot's, George Watson's and Merchiston Castle School.
