Rare opportunity to own one of Edinburgh’s grandest mansions with incredible garden

A grand six bedroom mansion in the Colinton area has joined the market, offering views across the Pentlands in a ‘rare’ sale.

Built in 1916, the property spans over 5,1250 square feet and was designed by architect John Jerdan - with the home often considered his ‘finest work’. Sat in a peaceful corner of Colinton, Benarty House boasts a well maintained wrap-around garden, and a wealth of period features.

The principal rooms face south, looking over the gardens and onto ‘magnificent’ views of the Pentland Hills. The current owners have made this house their family home for nearly 50 years, keeping the property well maintained over their time.
