46 Saughtonhall Drive, Edinburgh, EH12 5TN

Handsome and substantial four-bedroom Edwardian end-terraced villa, offering generously proportioned family accommodation, a wealth of attractive period features and excellent potential for a purchaser to modernise and personalise to their own taste.

Well maintained over the years, the property retains much of its original character, including ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, dado and picture rails, a traditional staircase and mosaic tiled flooring. The flexible accommodation is arranged over two levels and provides an excellent sense of space throughout, making this an ideal long-term family home.

A particular highlight is the sunny, west-facing private rear garden, while the property also benefits from a private driveway and single garage — significant advantages in this popular residential area where off-street parking can be at a premium.

The generously proportioned accommodation comprises:

• Entrance vestibule with attractive original mosaic tiled flooring, immediately setting the tone for the period character found throughout the property.

• Welcoming entrance hall with ornate cornicing, dado rail and traditional staircase with original balusters. There is useful understair storage together with a further cupboard housing the water heater.

• Elegant bay-windowed sitting room with gas fire set within a marble hearth and solid oak surround, complemented by ornate cornicing, picture rail and ceiling rose.

• Ground-floor shower room with fully tiled walls and flooring, fitted with a large shower enclosure, pedestal wash basin and WC.

• Generous rear-facing living/dining room, providing an excellent additional family and entertaining space, with cornicing, dado rails and French doors opening directly onto the rear garden. Its westerly aspect allows plenty of afternoon and evening sunlight into the room.

• Well-equipped fitted kitchen with an extensive range of wall and base units, worktops with tiled splashbacks and appliances including an electric ceramic hob with extractor hood, electric fan oven, integrated microwave, washing machine, dishwasher, undercounter fridge and freezer.

• The first-floor landing is naturally illuminated by an attractive cupola and provides access to the loft space.

• Impressive bay-windowed principal bedroom, a particularly generous room with extensive built-in wardrobes and storage, ornate cornicing and ceiling rose.

• Two further generous double bedrooms overlooking the rear of the property.

• Fourth bedroom/home office to the front, offering flexibility for use as a child's bedroom, nursery, study or home-working space.

• Second shower room serving the first floor, fitted with a large shower enclosure, pedestal wash basin and WC, with multi-panel wall finishes within the shower area and ceramic tiled flooring.


The property enjoys particularly appealing private outdoor space. To the rear is a sunny west-facing garden, ideally positioned to benefit from the afternoon and evening sun. The garden is well tended, with a lawn, established borders stocked with a variety of mature shrubs and flowering plants, together with paved patio areas providing excellent space for outdoor dining, entertaining and family use.


Side access leads through the garage to the front of the property.
The front garden has been monoblocked for ease of maintenance and incorporates a private driveway with off-street parking for one vehicle. The adjoining single garage has an up-and-over door, power and lighting. Together, the garage and driveway are a valuable feature in an area where on-street parking can be challenging.


All fitted floor coverings, curtains, blinds, light fittings and kitchen appliances are included in the sale.
