6 bedroom detached house

This very unusual property represents a fantastic opportunity for those looking for something unique. The building is currently lived in by an extended family who have it divided into two flats to suit their needs. A large four bed bedroom flat occupies the ground floor, with a smaller one to two bedroom flat occupying the first floor. This configuration works very well for those looking for secondary accommodation, but, subject to the usual planning consents, there is the potential to combine the two to create a sizeable family house. Alternatively, the potential is also there for one section to be used as a home, while the other half could work well as somewhere to run a business from. Again, this would be subject to the usual planning consents. Positioned within a large plot with a private drive, there are so many different opportunities on offer here. The location in the park particularly lends itself to creative thinking, presenting a unique place to live or work.

The lower flat has recently been refurbished and extended, resulting in a smart and welcoming family home. There is a large living room with a log burning stove which creates a wonderfully cosy atmosphere. This room connects to the contemporary kitchen/dining room. In addition to the generous principal bedroom with en suite shower room, there are three further bedrooms and a family bathroom.

To the rear of the property, external stairs lead to the upper flat. It has a living room, connecting through to a galley kitchen, a shower room and a main double bedroom with a connecting door to a smaller bedroom. There is extensive loft space with the potential to considerably extend the accommodation on this level, subject to the usual planning consents.

Outside, there is a large, sunny, private garden to the front and rear of the house, as well as patio areas for outside dining. In addition, there is a garage, log shed, private drive and parking for several cars.

Features include:
• Beautiful setting within Pilrig Park
• Large, sunny, private garden
• Garage and parking
• Spacious and flexible accommodation with further development potential
• A rare opportunity to own a unique home

*Please note, the EPC for the upper flat is available within the home report upon request.

This detached property is uniquely positioned within Pilrig Park and was formerly the coach house for Pilrig House, which was built in 1638. It benefits from both vehicle and pedestrian access through the park, as well as an unusually green outlook. The park is an attractive space for locals to walk, play and exercise their dogs. There are many mature trees, two safe play areas, two football pitches, and a wild flower garden. Pilrig Park lies between Leith Walk and Bonnington Road. The property is situated approximately 2 miles to the north-east of Edinburgh's city centre and has excellent road and public transport links both into town and out to the city bypass and East Lothian.

Pilrig and Leith have changed dramatically in recent years and now offer a fantastic array of independent cafes, bars, delicatessens, cosy Scottish pubs and seafood specialists. Michelin-starred restaurants, including The Kitchin and Martin Wishart's, can be found in the bustling and lively area of The Shore, just a short walk away.

Ocean Terminal is nearby with a variety of stores, restaurants, a multiscreen cinema complex and the Royal Yacht Britannia moored alongside it. The house falls within the catchment area for Broughton Primary School, St. Mary's Roman Catholic Primary School, Bun-sgoil Taobh na Pàirce (the Gaelic primary school) and Drummond Community High. It is also well placed for access to Edinburgh Academy, Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools and Fettes College.
