Rarely available detached villa on a prime beachfront location in Portobello, spanning nearly 6,000 sq. ft. within a plot extending to 0.29 acres
Description
Dalriada comprises a Category B listed Victorian villa set over three floors. The former hotel / bar (ground floor) and 5 bedroom apartment (first and second floors) is positioned within a large plot surrounded by a stone wall, extending to approximately 0.29 acres. This is a prime opportunity to create an exceptional family home with sea views and in an ideal location.
To the front of the property is a small lawn then the promenade. There is off-road parking into the rear yard from Bedford Terrace and on-street parking adjacent to the property. The property comprises a substantial detached villa extending to nearly 6,000 square feet. The property has a rich history and a wealth of original features.
Built in 1869, the villa’s notable features include its entrance tower, grand staircase and stained-glass windows. The accommodation includes numerous rooms over the three storeys and includes the former bar / restaurant area on the ground floor; exceptional reception room with stunning sea views on the first floor; and a circular turret room on the third floor. Internally a first phase strip out has been partially undertaken in preparation for redevelopment.
Location
The property is located in Portobello, a lovely sea side town approximately 4 miles from Edinburgh city centre.
Portobello is infamous for its charm as a seaside town with a beautiful promenade along the sandy beach. There is a fantastic selection of shops on the Portobello High Street, and a number of supermarkets nearby.
There is excellent local schooling nearby, such as Tower Bank and St John’s Primary Schools. There is also Portobello and Holyrood High Schools at secondary level, and Loretto is also close by at Musselburgh, offering private schooling from nursery upwards.
Regular bus services operate to and from the city centre and there is convenient access to the City Bypass.
