A unique opportunity to purchase a land plot with granted planning permission to build a new two-storey, four-bedroom family house
Description
A fantastic opportunity to purchase a building plot with consented plans to build a new, two-storey, four-bedroom family house.
The proposals are for the sub-division of existing garden ground to create a new building plot. Planning permission (Ref. No: 23/00621/FUL) has been granted following an application by Henderson Drollinger Architects.
The existing property is comprised of a substantial, sloping triangular garden (approximately 2,100 sq meters) with a detached house dating from the 1940s located in the middle of the southern half of the plot. The existing house, detached garage and access (all original) will be preserved unaltered.
The new building plot will be formed by establishing a boundary line running roughly from east to west, separating off the northern corner of the site. The new plot will equate to roughly 25% of the overall site area and creates a generously proportioned site of around 560 sq meters.
The proposed new house will be partially set into the slope of the site, designed so that no part will project above eye-level of someone on the ground floor of the existing house.
- Gross Internal Floor Area: 158 sq meters
- Overall building footprint (including 1st floor overhang): 110 sq meters
- Combined building footprint & hard landscaped area: 230 sq meters
- Overall plot area: 560 sq meters
- Building footprint as percentage of plot: 19.6%
Location
Situated around 2.5 miles south of Princes Street, the plot lies within the popular residential district of the Braids.
There are excellent local shops, bistros and bars in nearby Morningside and Bruntsfield as well as cultural amenities including the King's Theatre and Dominion Cinema.
Local sporting facilities include a number of golf courses and there are beautiful local walks in the open spaces of The Braids and The Hermitage.
The plot falls within the catchment areas for South Morningside Primary and Boroughmuir High School, and is also well situated for a number of excellent private schools including George Watson's, Merchiston Castle School, and George Heriot's School on the south side of the city.
Square Footage: 6,028 sq ft

Broadband availability and predicted speed
Broadband speed is measured in megabits per second, with the number returned showing how fast the connection is. Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:
Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s
The data is updated three times a year. The checker results are predictions and should not be regarded as guaranteed. For more information, see: https://checker.ofcom.org.uk/en-gb/about-checker#Answer_0_2
Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength
Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:
Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
