Savills, the property agents currently selling the home, said: “The property was extended in the 1920s and 1930s to create a unique butterfly plan house with Scottish renaissance detailing.
“Balmadies is surrounded by wonderful gardens and grounds and sits in an elevated and private position with far reaching views towards both the Pentlands and Fife.
“Internally there are some wonderful reception rooms including the well appointed games room with wood panelling and ornate fireplace and the unusual octagonal dining room opening to the large conservatory. The property retains a wealth of period features and has extensive accommodation arranged over three floors.”
“In addition, the gardens are on a large plot which is suitable for an additional dwelling subject to planning.”
Balmadies, which sits on Spylaw Bank Road, is about four miles southwest of the city centre. Edinburgh Park, the City Bypass and Edinburgh Airport are all easily accessible.
