Edinburgh property: Plush family home with games room and treehouse hits the market

A stunning Edinburgh four-bedroom home has hit the market, boasting wooden cladded ceilings throughout the property, a games room and both a pond and river to the rear of the building.

Located in the highly sought after Inveralmond Road, Cramond, this family home of 50 years has been excellently adapted and brought back to life, with further modernisation available for those who buy the property.

The theme of extreme natural light and wooden cladding in most of the rooms make the building looks like one big sauna, with several stone sculptured walls and quirky decor giving it a completely new lease of life.

The use of different shades of wood around windows and door frames as well as the floor helps create a sense of warmth and tranquillity around the property, being the perfect home for a large family who also love exploring the outdoors.

The rear of the property overlooks a pond, with the River Almond also being a stone throw away.

This type of property never comes cheap, however. The asking price for this luxury home currently sits at £840,000.

Rightmove describe the home as offering "a rare opportunity to acquire a detached house on a substantial plot of just under 0.5 acres within the popular area of Cramond. Owned by the current family for nearly 50 years, this much loved property offers almost 3,000 sq. ft. of accommodation, a double garage, and a substantial yet sheltered garden and grounds.

"The property would now benefit from a degree of modernisation where there is fantastic potential to create a truly outstanding home."

The evidence seems to support this statement, as the care to which the property has received is evident after the first few steps inside.

Leading up to the property, there is a private driveway, upon which the front of the house, with a double garage and plenty additional parking space is available.

The front door is separated by three slim glass windows either side, performing the courtesy of showing the owner who is approaching the front drive. Inside, multiple rooms then venture off to the left and right of the ground floor, with numerous little hidey-holes for home working or studying opportunities.

To the right, the principal bedroom with an ensuite bathroom is present, with a huge mirror above a storage shelve. As well the bathroom being ensuite, there is also two entrances to a study space with three windows looking out towards the front of the property, with several book shelves and additional drawers, meaning sleeping, studying and going to the bathroom can all be done from the same room.

The bedroom also boasts two sliding wardrobes for ample amount of clothes and other storage options.

To the left of the entrance, the large family and sitting room is present, complete with an impressive stone wall and modern decor. There is also an impressive glass patio sliding door that opens out onto the rear garden.

The wooden ceiling and cream carpet complement each other eloquently and provide the much needed light and warm aspect of the property which illustrates its timeless effect.

There is an additional study/sitting room on the ground floor that is half complete with stone walls and the other half complete with wooden cladding.

The kitchen and dining room are also present on the ground floor, with the kitchen coming as a very spacious feature with plenty units and storage cupboards. The dining room features six chairs around an impressive marble circular table, with an additional seating area and table across from the kitchen. further windows and access to the front of the property help provide more natural light.

Upstairs, the impressive wooden theme is continued with a spacious shared bathroom and bath tub, coated in the same wooden finish.

A further two double-bedrooms are present with sliding integrated wardrobes and additional storage units. There is also double glazed windows and a fourth bedroom, which is currently being used as a games room with a full size pool table, as well as more storage room.

The property also features a rare wooden integrated tree-house that can be used as a study or painting area. (Rightmove)

One of the last and more favourable features of this property is the addition of a wooden triangular tree-house that is built onto the house and is accessible from the first floor. It provides plenty natural light and is currently being used as a painting/decorating spot, with views to the rear and side of the property.

Outside, there is a spacious back garden that could do with a little sprucing up, but could provide the perfect space for kids to play in and for a large decking area for the warm summer nights.

The property's own little forrest area is also surrounding the building with hundreds of different trees and the aforementioned pond area a little further round.
