Edinburgh property: Unusual fixer-upper four-bed with conservatory up for sale

A four bedroom flat in the neighbourhood of The Grange in Edinburgh has just gone on property website Rightmove, and it is a fixer upper with some unusual character to it.

This Fountainhall Road address on first glance, looks like something out of a movie about Dracula, but more summery and with brighter colours.

Its large three-storeys towers over the front garden, and the roof acts almost like a turret of a castle.

Marketed by Knight Frank, they say that the combination of flexible accommodation, extremely generous back and front garden and private driveway makes this a very appealing property in a prime south side location.

Arranged over the ground and lower ground level the property is entered via a private gated entrance with private gardens. The ground floor provides all the living and entertaining space.

On entering the property, you are welcomed into a large vestibule with the kitchen directly off the hallway.

The large elegant living/dining room has a deep south-east facing bay window which floods the room with light and offers leafy views to the large back garden. This room furthermore boasts high ceilings and detailed ceiling cornicing.

Following on from this you enter the large sitting room, again benefiting from views over the garden and plenty of light whilst offering generous space to entertain family and friends.

A superb conservatory provides a perfect vantage point from which to enjoy the garden all year round.

A staircase from the hallway takes you to the lower ground floor which offers great flexibility with two large bedrooms plus an ensuite.

There is scope to develop this with additional storage rooms and basement space that can be used, subject to appropriate permission and consent.

Outside, a truly impressive south-east facing garden offers a lawn area as well as a patio for entertaining. Mature trees, shrubs and bushes provide privacy and tranquillity.

In addition to the rear garden there is a private front driveway with off-road parking.

This unique property is now on the market for offers over a whopping £825,000, and can be viewed almost immediately.
