This fully-upgraded four/five-bedroom detached house is a stunning family home that is brought to market in move-in condition, enjoying neutral interior design and high-end finishings.

This home goes above and beyond expectations to provide its inhabitants the very best, meeting all the needs of modern family lifestyles. It also enjoys a sought-after location in Duddingston, with inspiring bedroom views of nearby Arthur's Seat. It is a fantastic setting that offers easy access to Edinburgh city centre, as well as Fort Kinnaird Shopping Centre and the long golden sands of Portobello Beach. Transport links, amenities, and schools are all close by, ensuring a well-connected home that offers convenience, as well as a lot of living space.
Welcome to an exceptional family home
Entering the property, a vestibule welcomes you in, flowing through to a reception hall with understairs storage. It is a pristine introduction that offers a tantalising glimpse of the stylish interiors to follow.
An impressive open-plan centrepiece
The open-plan kitchen, living and dining room is the home's impressive centrepiece. It has a substantial footprint and a smart layout that offers a flow of accommodation whilst ensuring each section is cleverly zoned. There is an expansive lounge area for unwinding that retains its own sense of space and by the kitchen, there is plenty of room for a table and chairs serving eight people and above. Backed by two sets of patio doors, this reception area also extends out into the rear garden for summer entertaining. Crisp neutral décor and a wood-effect floor add another touch of elegance to this fabulous space.
In addition, a sitting/family room provides a more intimate setting for relaxing and socialising. Characterised by sophisticated interior design, this beautiful space has the added allure of a cosy log-burning stove and triple-aspect windows for a light-filled ambience. If required, this room could also be used a fifth double bedroom, providing the homeowners with excellent versatility.
A state-of-the-art kitchen by Kitchens International
Bringing further style to the open-plan reception room, the kitchen has a state-of-the-art design by Kitchens International. It features sleek, handle-less cabinets in white and a line of concrete units for contrast, all paired with deluxe Corian worktops and easy-to-clean (tempered) glass splashbacks. A central island adds further flair and practicality, doubling as a breakfast bar for quick meals. It also comes with a Quooker tap for instant boiling water, undercabinet lighting for ambient moods, and integrated Siemens appliances for a smooth finish (induction hob, ceiling extractor fan, oven, steam oven, warming drawer, fridge/freezer, and dishwasher). A well-stocked utility room neighbours the kitchen, providing an integrated washing machine, further storage and workspace, and an alternate access to the rear garden.
A luxurious haven
Easily accessible on the ground floor, the large principal suite is a luxurious haven for the owners. It features a private dressing room which is lined with fitted wardrobes, offering a wealth of clothes storage. It also leads to a contemporary en-suite shower room, fitted with premium tile work, a storage-set washbasin, a hidden-cistern toilet, and a double walk-in rainfall shower. Meanwhile, the three remaining double bedrooms are on the first floor, off a bright landing with an airing cupboard, access to eaves storage, and an attic/storage space for added practicality. Like the principal suite, all three rooms are neutrally decorated and laid with carpet, providing a comfortable environment for a relaxing night's sleep.
High-spec bathroom facilities
In addition to the en-suite, there is a spacious four-piece family bathroom on the ground floor, which includes a toilet, a washbasin, a ladder-style towel radiator, a double walk-in rainfall shower enclosure, and a bath with a handheld shower. A modern three-piece shower room serves the first floor as well, coming equipped with similar fixtures and fittings, ensuring all the bathroom facilities are of a high specification.
For optimal comfort, the property has double glazing and gas central heating, as well as electric underfloor heating in the en-suite and shower room.
A large garden with an office outbuilding
The home has a leafy front garden and a monoblock driveway leading to a handy external store. It also boasts a large rear garden that offers excellent privacy and a suntrap, southwest-facing aspect. Perfect for families, this garden is fully enclosed and professionally landscaped, featuring a generous lawn and patio that captures lots of daily sun. In addition, it has an outbuilding with storage and a fully-functioning office/gym, with lighting, power, and access to the internet.
Extras: All fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.
Nestled at the foot of majestic Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags, Duddingston offers a unique village setting, yet is just over two miles east of the city centre. With the vast open spaces of Holyrood Park and Duddingston Loch to the west, and the golden sands of Portobello Beach to the east, residents have some of the capital's most outstanding natural landscapes and views right on their doorstep. And of course, there is no shortage of outdoor pursuits, from walking, cycling and hiking in Holyrood Park, to a round of golf at Duddingston Golf Club. The area is served by fantastic local services and amenities, particularly on nearby Portobello High Street, which is lined with an array of traditional shops and business, plus a handful of thriving cafes, pubs and restaurants. Popular with families looking for a more relaxed lifestyle (without leaving the city limits), Duddingston is within the catchment area for excellent local schools, and its close proximity to Edinburgh City Bypass and the A1 allows swift and convenient travel across the city and further afield. Nearby Brunstane train station and several bus routes also provide comprehensive public transport links, day and night.
