5 bedroom house for sale
Key information
Property description & features
- Tenure: Freehold
West Castle Road is a quiet, leafy street situated in the affluent conservation area of Merchiston, arguably the most desirable of residential areas in Edinburgh. A 25-minute walk into central Edinburgh there are excellent local shops, bistros, and bars in nearby Bruntsfield and Morningside, including Waitrose and Marks & Spencer's. The Meadows, King's Theatre and Merchiston Tennis & Bowling Club are located close by.
This is a much-loved family home with dual entrances and significant storage. The kitchen/breakfast room is to the rear of the house looking directly on to the garden. Warmed by underfloor heating, the room is the heart of the house and leads to the garden/TV room. A large dining room or 5th bedroom and an en-suite bedroom make up the lower floor. Upstairs there is a sizable drawing room, 3 further double bedrooms (one with fitted wardrobes) and the main bathroom.
The beautiful private garden houses the last remining apple tree from a 200+ year old orchard that formed part of Merchiston Castle and the property has benefited from over £100,000 being spent on it over the last 5 years including, roof & guttering work, handmade kitchen, underfloor heating, new combi boiler, new gas fires, sash & case windows and ensuite in lower bedroom.
The owners were about to redevelop and redecorate but have secured a house allowing purchasers to put their own stamp on the house or extend into the sizable garden.
