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

    Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on September 18, 2023

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
