Welcome to 24 Frogston Road West

This significant detached house is an exclusive traditional residence with lots of charm and character, and an incredible amount of space. The family home enjoys sympathetic interiors and a host of period features, benefitting from generously proportioned rooms that are bright and airy and enhanced by high ceilings. The property boasts four reception rooms, six double bedrooms, and three washrooms, providing substantial accommodation and ample private parking. Furthermore, it has breathtaking views of the Pentland Hills and an outstanding rear garden with a suntrap aspect. Situated in highly sought-after Fairmilehead, this amazing home also enjoys a prestigious setting on the outskirts of Edinburgh, yet still within easy reach of the city centre, amenities, transport links, and highly-regarded schooling, as well as the capital’s picturesque green belt.

The Entrance - The magnificent frontage of the home hints at the wealth of accommodation therein. The front door opens to a vestibule, with a cloakroom and separate boot room on the right and a reception hall directly ahead. The cloakroom also has a washbasin and the boot room provides alternate access to outside, whilst the reception hall catches the eye with its crisp white décor, varnished wooden floorboards, and traditional staircase. It is an exceptional welcome that provides a mere taste of the space to follow.

Reception Rooms - With four reception areas, homeowners have a room for all occasions – all of which are finished with elegant styling and neutral decoration. There is an expansive, light-filled living room with a beautiful (working) open fireplace; there is a large formal dining room for entertaining, which benefits from a feature fireplace; and there is a charming sitting room (with a brick-framed fireplace) providing a relaxed ambience for unwinding. There is also a sunroom with bi-folding glazed doors to the rear garden. Positioned to make the most of the Pentland Hills panorama, the southwest-facing living room, sunroom, and sitting room all enjoy the most spectacular views to admire as well.

Dining Kitchen - Enjoying those impressive views of the Pentland Hills and direct access to the rear garden, the dual-aspect dining kitchen is ideal for summer socialising. It accommodates a table and chairs for family meals, and is generously appointed with base and wall-mounted cabinets and sweeping worksurfaces. White splashback tiles and a range of integrated and freestanding appliances complete the space. A dual-aspect utility room provides a discreet setting for laundry and room for further freestanding appliances.

Bedrooms - With six double bedrooms, this luxury home offers all the space and versatility large families could ask for. Each room benefits from sympathetic décor (textured by a picture rail) and a bright and airy ambience. Most of the bedrooms are enhanced by dual-aspect windows and those to the southwest-facing rear of the property boast awe-inspiring garden views, stretching to the Pentland Hills. The large principal and third bedrooms also come equipped with handy washbasins, both providing generous floorspace for a varied assortment of furnishings (much like bedrooms two and the triple-aspect fourth bedroom). Bedroom five has stripped wooden floorboards, whilst the remaining bedrooms are carpeted. The sixth bedroom is currently organised as an office for working from home.

Bathrooms - The home’s two bathrooms are both on the first floor. One features a combination of light décor and quality tile work, coming equipped with a three-piece suite and overhead shower. The other has tongue and groove panelling and a four-piece suite, including a toilet, pedestal washbasin, double-ended bathtub, and quadrant shower. On the ground floor, there is also a convenient WC just off the reception hall.

Gardens & Parking - The property is enveloped by carefully maintained gardens to the front and rear, both of which are fully enclosed for the safety of all family members, including free-roaming pets. The front garden features a sweep of lawn and monoblock paving framed by mature trees for privacy. The southwest-facing rear garden is simply astounding. It boasts a generous patio area for alfresco dining in the sun, with steps leading down to a vast stretch of lawn, bordered by leafy greens and established hedgerows. Backed by the Pentland Hills panorama, it is perfect for summer soirees and large social gatherings. A summerhouse, a shed, and a pond add the finishing touches. To the front, a gated (monoblock) driveway and an attached single garage offer secure off-street parking for at least three cars.
