Whitehouse Loan, Grange, Edinburgh, EH9

A distinguished Victorian lower garden villa with private gated driveway, garage and exceptional south-facing views

Description

Occupying a distinguished position on Whitehouse Loan, this exceptional lower villa forms part of a handsome Victorian villa and presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home of remarkable character and scale within one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential addresses.

Set behind private gates and approached via an impressive driveway, the property enjoys a wonderful sense of arrival. Elegant sandstone elevations, beautifully landscaped gardens and mature planting create an immediate impression of privacy and exclusivity, while the generous proportions throughout reflect the grandeur of its Victorian origins.

Extending to over 2,090 sq ft, the accommodation combines fine period architecture with carefully considered contemporary additions. A magnificent bay-windowed living room showcases many of the home's original features, including intricate cornicing, impressive ceiling heights and a handsome fireplace, all enhanced by an abundance of natural light. Opposite, an equally impressive formal dining room offers an elegant setting for entertaining, with both principal reception rooms enjoying attractive south views over the gardens.

At the rear of the home lies a modern extension incorporating a stylish dining room. Designed to embrace natural light, this spectacular space provides an ideal focal point for contemporary family life and effortlessly connects the period accommodation with the surrounding gardens.

The principal accommodation includes three generous double bedrooms, a fourth bedroom/study and two bath/shower rooms, offering excellent flexibility for families, professionals working from home or those seeking lateral living on a single level.

The outdoor space is a particular highlight. Mature gardens wrap around the property, creating a wonderfully private setting rarely found so close to the city centre. A detached garage and adjoining garden room provide further versatility, offering potential for a home office, studio, gym or hobby space, while the extensive driveway provides ample off-street parking for multiple vehicles.

Combining period grandeur, contemporary living and exceptional private grounds, 153 Whitehouse Loan represents one of the finest examples of its kind currently available in Edinburgh.
