Barnton Avenue, Edinburgh, Midlothian

Barnton Avenue is an impressive, link-detached house, occupying a highly sought-after position in a wooded setting between two prestigious golf courses. The property offers a flexible layout with scope for modernisation or redesign, subject to the necessary consents.

The two principal ground-floor reception rooms comprise the sitting room, which benefits from triple-aspect full-height windows and sliding glass doors, drawing in natural light and providing views across the gardens, and a formal dining room. To the rear, the kitchen and breakfast room provide further everyday living space, with white fitted wall and base units, a Smeg range cooker and space for a breakfast table. Also on the ground floor is a shower room, and a study or bedroom with built-in storage and direct access to the rear garden.

On the first floor, the drawing room provides a generous additional reception space, with full-height windows overlooking the surrounding woodland and scope to convert it into a large double bedroom if desired. There are also three double bedrooms, including the principal bedroom with a generous stylish en suite bathroom and a large dressing room, which could alternatively be used as a further bedroom. A second bedroom has en suite facilities, while the floor is completed by a family bathroom with bath and separate shower.

The house is set on a quiet no-through lane, with double security gates opening onto the driveway, which provides parking and access to the double garage. The front and rear gardens feature lawns, paved terraces and colourful border planting, enclosed by established hedging and mature trees that provide a good degree of privacy and shelter. The mature setting also creates an attractive backdrop to the house, while the grounds offer plenty of space for outdoor seating, entertaining and family use.

The property is situated in a highly sought-after residential area in north-west Edinburgh with an abundance of green space, and excellent connectivity. The area offers a unique blend of natural beauty and historic character, with nearby attractions including the 16th-century Lauriston Castle, its peaceful Kyoto Friendship Garden, and views across the Firth of Forth to Cramond Island. The peaceful home is situated at the end of a no-through-road and between two renowned and prestigious golf courses, The Bruntsfield Links Golfing Society and The Royal Burgess Golfing Society, recognised as the world’s oldest golfing society.

The property is within easy reach of local amenities in Davidson’s Mains and at Craigleith Retail Park, while Edinburgh city centre offers an extensive range of shopping, dining, and cultural facilities. Particularly popular with families, the area benefits from highly regarded schooling including Cramond Primary School, Davidson’s Mains Primary School and The Royal High School, alongside respected independent schools such as Cargilfield School, Mary Erskine School, and Stewart’s Melville College. Excellent transport links are available via regular bus services into the city centre, with the City Bypass, M8, Edinburgh Airport, and the Forth bridges all easily accessible, providing convenient commuting across Edinburgh and the wider Central Belt.
