A superb opportunity to acquire an exceptional David Bryce designed, baronial style B-listed Victorian coach house with private gardens, uniquely positioned within the grounds of Silverknowes Golf Course, a beautiful setting with acres of uninterrupted wide open green space and a stunning coastal backdrop with panoramic views of the Firth of Forth and Fife. This distinctive turreted property (c.1865) is accessed via a private driveway through the golf course and sits nestled within gated landscaped gardens with various outhouses, terraced areas and an original cobbled courtyard area.
Arranged over two floors, the house is offered mid-development, with the project set to provide various contemporary upgrades, an exciting and flexible prospect which will attract those with vision and respect for the original footprint of this historic building. On ground floor level, light-filled rooms include entrance vestibule and hallway, living room with cosy log burner and an expansive open-plan kitchen/dining/living space. The first floor has a similarly large principal room which could form a master suite or indeed be split into two bedrooms plus en suite; two further double bedrooms and an upstairs living and kitchen area complete the layout.
Location
The property is located under 3 miles of the city centre, and enjoys a private driveway accessed via Marine Drive, which itself runs parallel to the coast, providing fantastic panoramic views across the Firth of Forth, with wonderful walks and opportunities for leisure pursuits including golf on the renowned Silverknowes Golf Course with its immediate proximity to the beaches of the surrounding area.
Further opportunities for outdoor pursuits can be found at the nearby Corstorphine Hill Nature Reserve, Lauriston Castle and grounds or Cammo Estate as well as at several private golf courses, a private members tennis club and access to the many and varied cycling routes.
The immediate area is well served by the amenities of nearby Davidson's Mains, offering a village atmosphere with local shopping and a range of quality independent outlets including cafés, services, shops, post office, pharmacies, takeaways and restaurants and a Tesco Metro. For larger shopping needs, Craigleith Shopping Park with high street stores including a Marks & Spencer, Boots and a Sainsburys is within easy reach.
