Divine church manse for sale in prime Edinburgh location
Steeped in history and dating back to the Victorian period, a charming family home is on sale with leading Scottish property consultants, CKD Galbraith.
Based within one of the most exclusive streets in the Grange area of Edinburgh, Hope Terrace is a superb semi-detached property that is currently used as a church manse.
The current owners, Marchmont St Giles' Parish Church, have decided that the building is a larger property than required, an opinion shared by the current Minister residing in the property. A smaller house is now been sought that can still fulfil the requirements of a manse building.
This means that the substantial property, with five large bedrooms and three reception rooms spread over three levels, is now on the market and would provide the perfect opportunity for a family to purchase a home at the heart of one of Edinburgh’s most-sought after residential districts.
The house offers a traditional yet cosy feel throughout. Boasting a wealth of period features including intricate cornicing and high ceilings, alluring fireplaces and bay windows, the property has an abundance of 19th century charm but with plenty of potential.
In particular, parts of the property which have not been used on a frequent basis by the current owners may require to be upgraded, with one possibility being to reconfigure the layout to include a self-contained flat if desired.
The space on offer throughout the house, particularly on the ground floor, is exceptional and continues into the gardens surrounding the house. With beautiful views across the gardens it’s not however until you move outside that you realise how large the plot is, with exceptional gardens to the back, front and side of the house, with a large garage offering off-street parking.
Alasdair MacKenzie, who is handling the sale for CKD Galbraith, said: “Given the period features and fantastic location, 19 Hope Terrace is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a lovely home in the heart of residential Edinburgh. Whilst the property is full of character, there is ample opportunity for a family to add their own personal touches to the home.
“The mix of well-presented public rooms as well as the spacious bedrooms and accommodation upstairs means that the property is perfect for everyday family living and for those special occasions when entertaining friends, family and guests. This is a property that is certain to attract significant interest.”
19 Hope Terrace is ideally located with a full range of schools, shops and other local amenities close at hand in Marchmont and Morningside, not to mention the proximity of green spaces such as the Meadows and Bruntsfield Links.
A guide price of £1 million has been set for 19 Hope Terrace.
