Edinburgh property: Fixer upper mansion with extensive private grounds hits the market

Most stunning mansions in Edinburgh come equipped with high-ceiling chandeliers, hot tubs and beautifully designed furniture.

This property in Corstorphine, however, is something every property developer dreams of, with the exterior to draw people in and free rein within.

The six bedroom semi-detached home in the neighbourhood of Corstorphine is a Tudor style semi-detached villa built in the Edwardian era.

It benefits from generous room proportions throughout and would make an ideal family home.

The home comprises, welcoming entrance hall with storage cupboard beneath the stair, a bay windowed sitting room with ornate cornicing and original fire surround, a large front facing family room with beautiful cornicing, and a downstairs double bedroom with window to the side and westerly aspect.

Inside, however, leaves much to be desired. (ESPC)

Further into the home, there is a kitchen / dining room with utility /storage areas off and a downstairs WC with wash basin.

There are four spacious double bedrooms on the first floor, one of which has an en-suite shower room, a separate family bathroom, and a staircase leads from the first floor to the attic level, which has two further attic rooms providing excellent storage.

There leaves a lot to be desired about the interior of this property. (ESPC)

The St Johns Road address would benefit from some updating and modernising to taste but has excellent potential.

It also has extensive landscaped private front and rear gardens as well as a long driveway leading to the garage.

The back garden, with a little bit of TLC, could be straight out of a fairytale. (ESPC)

Marketed by DMD Law LLP, this stunning home is on the market for offers over £750,000, which is quite the price tag for the inner work that needs to take place.

You can check out this property, and many more, on the ESPC website, here.
