Description

A truly outstanding property of historic significance, Northfield is one of the finest homes in Edinburgh designed in a Scottish Baronial style replete with turrets and gables by eminent Edinburgh architect Walter Crum Watson, whose accomplishments include work on the design of The Victoria & Albert Museum. This handsome family home spans over 6,000 square feet, and benefits from a charming two-bedroom Gardner’s Cottage peacefully nestled within grounds, with stunning landscaped gardens, featuring an array of wooded, landscaped and formal gardens.

Commanding a striking elevated position enjoying far-reaching panoramic views, Northfield is situated on the edge of the much sought-after and picturesque conservation village of Balerno that sits in the shadow of the majestic Pentland Hills. Arranged over three levels, the property retains a wealth of period charm including original fireplaces, sash and case windows, and a servant bell call system. The architect added several unique design features including carved monogrammed datestone plaque and the Portuguese tiled feature of Madonna della Catena above the front door, a hidden panelled cupboard in the drawing room, and the grape motifs that decorate the exterior drainpipes. Of particular design note is the barrel-vaulted wood-panelled drawing room that spans the full length of the house.

The property is close to good local schooling, plus many Edinburgh independent schools provide private transport to and from Balerno. Northfield lies within a short distance from Curriehill train station which runs regular services into Edinburgh’s city centre. The City Bypass is easily accessible and links that connect to Edinburgh International Airport and Central Scotland’s main motorways network.
