Beverly Hills style Edinburgh mansion with throwback features and 'floor bath' hits market

An extremely original and unique detached villa with one of the quirkiest layouts you will find in the capital has come onto the market for just under £1million.

The majority of the property is located on one level despite a potential granny flat that comes with its own kitchen and bathroom.

But the ground floor is where the main attractions are located with a 70s style decor and extremely distinctive room layouts, similar to a Beverly Hills mansion, in need of modernisation.

The main bathroom comes with an inset bathtub as well as a floating blue toilet that is attached to the wall.

With a spacious garden, that admittedly looks as though it requires some TLC, a family could enjoy a warm summer's day outdoors.

The kitchen is certainly of a different era but has a really eccentric floating hob island in the centre of the room.

The accommodation comprises a main entrance vestibule, a spacious hall and a lounge with windows to the rear overlooking the garden and a door to the garden.

There is also a fitted dining kitchen with matching wall and base units, a utility room with a door to the rear porch.

As well as this, a large dining room which could also be used as a bedroom with a window to the front and a sun room with patio doors to the garden.

The master bedroom comes with a large dressing room and built in wardrobes as well as a door to a four piece bathroom suite.

A second large double bedroom has an en-suite shower room, with a rear lobby door to the courtyard.

Another large family room and bedroom are also located on this floor with windows overlooking the garden and an attached useful storeroom.

Connell & Connell, who are advertising the property on ESPC for offers over £925,000, added that the property also boasts a large double garage, extensive driveway and a host of established plants, shrubs and trees.

They describe the property as: “Unique and spacious detached villa with substantial garden grounds set in a very desirable area close to excellent local amenities and the City Centre.

“Whilst now in need of modernisation and upgrading the property has superb potential to provide spacious and flexible family accommodation in the popular residential area of Trinity approximately two miles from the City Centre.

“Trinity offers a good variety of local shops and amenities with a wider selection available in Goldenacre, Stockbridge and Ocean Terminal.

“There are also a number of buses running close by which provide quick and easy access to the City Centre and other areas.

“Well regarded local Primary and Secondary schools are located nearby including Wardie Primary, Trinity and Broughton Secondary schools, Edinburgh Academy and Fettes College.

“The property is also well placed for Lomond Park which has a tennis and bowling club, the Royal Botanic Garden and Inverleith Park.”
