The property is a most beautiful detached 3/4 bedroom house located on a quiet street right in the heart of Morningside. Formerly known as Glencorse Cottage, it has been home to four generations of the same family for 115 years.

On the ground floor, the property benefits from 2 double bedrooms, a wonderfully light living/dining room with direct garden access, a kitchen also with direct garden access, handy utility room and a wet room. Upstairs, there are two further double bedrooms and WC. The house offers the option to have another reception room and 3 bedrooms, giving flexibility to family living.

There is a large mature front garden laid to lawn and the back garden, which can be accessed from the front, features fabulous manicured hedges, dining area, fire pit and a greenhouse. There is also a separate garage that can be accessed from the nearby lane.


The property lies in the highly coveted residential area of Morningside. The house is a short walk from Morningside Road which has an excellent range of independents shops, restaurants and cafés as well as Waitrose, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's Local supermarkets. The Dominion cinema and Churchill theatre are also both within walking distance. It is located in the catchment area for Bruntsfield and St Peter's RC primary schools, Boroughmuir and St Thomas of Aquin's RC secondary schools. The private sector school George Watson's College, which caters for all school ages, is 5 minutes' walk away.

The wide-open spaces of Bruntsfield Links, The Meadows and the Union Canal Walkway are all close by. Local recreational facilities include golf courses and tennis courts with Blackford Hill and the Hermitage of Braid within a few minutes' drive for lovely walks. There is easy access via the city bypass to Edinburgh International Airport, Queensferry Crossing and the national motorway network, and convenient bus services to most parts of the city and Edinburgh City Bypass
