Property Description

A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire a truly stunning detached family home on the highly desirable Durham Road in Edinburgh’s sought-after Duddingston location. Set within a generous private plot, this beautifully presented property combines classic period charm with contemporary finishes throughout. Boasting five spacious double bedrooms, multiple elegant reception rooms, a basement utility, playroom, and exquisite outdoor entertaining space, this home is perfectly suited to modern family living.

The property is set back from the road and offers excellent kerb appeal, with off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a detached garage with additional office. Inside, the ground floor features a welcoming vestibule and grand entrance hallway leading to a bright and spacious formal drawing room, complete with bay window and feature fireplace. A versatile fifth bedroom is also located on this level, ideal as a guest suite or home office. An additional grand open-plan sitting/dining room with bay window and feature fire place provides a further expansive living space. The bright and spacious kitchen leading on to an additional family room is a particular highlight, featuring integrated appliances, multiple skylights, and direct access to the expansive rear garden, making it the heart of the home for both family life and entertaining.

The first floor hosts the luxurious principal bedroom, complete with a contemporary en-suite shower room, along with three further generously sized double bedrooms. A spacious family bathroom completes the upper-level accommodation, while a bright central landing connects each room. On the lower ground level, a fully renovated basement offers a superb children’s playroom or games area, a large utility room, and additional storage, further enhancing the home’s practicality.

Externally, the property truly excels. The beautifully landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to create a private outdoor retreat, with lawned areas, mature planting, and a stylish patio. The standout feature is the bespoke outdoor kitchen, fully equipped and ideal for hosting family gatherings or summer garden parties. The detached garage and adjoining storage room offer excellent functionality, while the generous front driveway provides ample off-street parking.

Durham Road is widely regarded as one of the most desirable residential streets in the area, offering a quiet and leafy environment while still being close to a wealth of local amenities. Located in the popular suburb of Duddingston, the property benefits from close proximity to Portobello, Edinburgh’s much-loved seaside neighbourhood. Within just a short walk or drive, residents can enjoy the beach promenade, vibrant cafés, artisan bakeries, and restaurants, as well as independent shops and weekly markets. The area is also well served by excellent local schooling, including both primary and secondary options, and is ideal for families looking to stay within a reputable catchment area.

The property enjoys excellent transport connections, with regular bus routes into Edinburgh city centre, nearby access to Brunstane railway station, and easy reach of the City Bypass and A1, making commuting in and around the capital both convenient and efficient.
