This charming detached house has a bright, welcoming feel and is ideal for families looking to live in the Cramond area. The current owners have been here for many years, and it has clearly been a much-loved family home.

The ground floor provides excellent living and entertaining space. The kitchen/breakfast room is at the heart of the house, flanked by the conservatory and dining room on one side and the study and sitting room on the other. The main sitting room is a particularly beautiful room. Running the full depth of the house, it features an attractive fireplace and double doors leading to the garden. Completing the ground floor are a laundry room, utility room, and WC.

Upstairs, the principal bedroom is generously proportioned with built-in wardrobes and a view across the garden. There are three further bedrooms, a family bathroom, and a shower room.

Outside, there is a lovely south-facing garden with a large lawn, terrace areas for outdoor dining, and mature borders. There is an area of garden to the front, as well as off-street parking. The house has a particularly private feel thanks to a hedge that shields it from the road.


Essex Brae is situated in the highly sought-after leafy residential area of Barnton, approximately two miles west of Edinburgh's City Centre. The house benefits from this peaceful location whilst having easy access to the City Bypass, the motorway network and The Queensferry Crossing. Edinburgh International Airport is approximately 4.6 miles away. There is a large range of excellent shopping facilities within close proximity, including Craigleith Retail Park, Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury's.

Nearby recreational facilities include The Royal Botanic Gardens, the extensive grounds of Lauriston Castle, Inverleith Park, Cramond Yacht Club, and The Royal Burgess, Bruntsfield, Murrayfield and Ravelston golf clubs. The house is in the catchment area for Cramond Primary School and The Royal High School. Cargilfield School, Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools, Fettes College, The Edinburgh Academy and St George's School for Girls are also all nearby, making this an ideal location for families.

    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 January 18, 2024

    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
