61 Alnwickhill Road, Edinburgh, EH16 6NJ

This substantial 1930s semi detached villa offers approximately 182 square metres of generous, light filled accommodation with elegant proportions, charming original features, and a warm, welcoming feel, set within a sizeable plot sandwiched between Liberton Park and a protected Green Belt field. Its position and open outlook create a strong sense of space and calm, ideal for family living.

The property is entered via a traditional vestibule into a broad reception hall, with practical under stair storage and a natural flow through the ground floor. The principal living room is a standout space, featuring a deep bay window that draws in excellent natural light and creates an inviting setting for everyday family life. A second large public room, currently used as a dining room, offers excellent flexibility and would work equally well as a family room, playroom, or home office. Original Edinburgh press cupboards are positioned throughout the home, including within the living room, dining room, and bedrooms, providing excellent integrated storage.

The kitchen is well proportioned and connects seamlessly to a utility room and rear hall, which offers direct access out to the rear garden, making it particularly practical for busy family routines. A conveniently located WC completes the ground floor accommodation.

On the first floor, there are three generous double bedrooms, each enjoying open aspects and good natural light, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a bay window that enhances the home’s bright and airy feel. The family bathroom is spacious and well lit, lending itself easily to modernisation. A large floored attic, accessed via a Ramsay ladder, provides excellent storage and obvious scope for future development, subject to the usual consents.

Externally, the generous side and rear gardens are mostly laid to lawn and framed by mature apple and plum trees, offering a safe and serene space. The plot also provides strong potential to extend, with neighbouring properties offering helpful precedents.

A single garage with an electric front door and up and over rear door completes this much loved home, which now presents an exciting opportunity for a family to create something truly special.
