Property Description
An elegant 5-bedroom Victorian Arts & Crafts villa within the desirable Craiglockhart area of Edinburgh, formerly utilised as a Holistic Wellbeing Centre with potential to convert back to a substantial private residence (subject to planning).
This superb late Victorian villa boasts beautiful period Arts & Crafts style interiors to include stunning stained-glass windows, elaborate cornicing, traditional fireplaces, a pitch pine staircase and attractive wall panelling. The house incorporates a modern extension to the rear, which could provide extensive living space for the modern family (subject to planning).
In addition, the house sits on an extensive plot of 0.4 acres with a fully enclosed rear garden which feels incredibly private and unoverlooked with mature trees and hedgerows providing privacy from the neighbours. It was created as a peaceful ‘tranquillity garden’ and boasts some lovely features with an area of lawn intermingled with rose beds to the centre surrounded by different seating areas. A circular gravel terrace with a central water feature resides to the left in front of a stylish, award-winning, copper-built, architectural garden pod with wooden decking to the front - providing a lovely space for alfresco dining and entertaining.
This affluent, highly desirable, residential suburb is located around 2.5 miles southwest of the City Centre. Residents enjoy scenic walks around Craiglockhart Hill, local nature trails and the picturesque Water of Leith walkway, with the Union Canal providing a flat, traffic-free path for walking or cycling into the centre. There are frequent bus services along Colinton Road directly to the centre, with trains within walking distance at nearby Slateford Station offering convenient rail connections to both Edinburgh city centre and Glasgow.
NB: Due to this property being a commercial premise, there is no home report available, however we do have a valuation report.
