An ‘outstanding’ Edinburgh property with exceptional views of the Pentlands, ‘immaculate’ gardens and its own river has joined the market.
Laverockdale House, which sits on Dreghorn Loan, has sat on the edge of Colinton Village since 1912. Described as ‘historically significant’, the six bedroom home was designed for famed Edinburgh financier James Ivory.
In Baronial style, the home was made with Ivory’s request for a country feel while being within easy reach of the city centre. Enclosed by ornamental gardens, the grand house provides owners with their own little ‘estate’ - for the cool price of £2.95million.

Savills, who are currently advertising the home, describe it as an ‘impressive, comfortable and manageable family home’. They added: “The gardens have been painstakingly restored with the contemporary addition of sloping curves to the lower lawn.
“These attractive slopes overlook the stunning stream, waterfalls, bridges, sun-trap terraces and spectacular island planting of the restored fernery. The floodlit garden to the rear further boasts outstanding views of the Pentland Hills, three separate terrace in different locations designed to accommodate the moving sun.
“There’s also a large heated greenhouse, raised beds within a charming vegetable garden and an enchanting children’s play area.”
The property sits within an ‘exclusive’ gated residential setting, and benefits from two sets of electric gates, CCTV and secure fencing. A little over three miles from the city centre, Colinton has several shops as well as sporting facilities and various restaurants.
There are also several schooling options nearby, as well as paths to the Pentlands and the Water of Leith walkway.
