54 St Albans Rd, Edinburgh

Situated in an enviable position at the heart of the Grange area of Edinburgh, 54 St Albans Road is an exceptional property on sale with leading Scottish property consultants, CKD Galbraith.

Occupying the entire ground floor of a magnificent B-listed mansion, this family home offers period charm and elegance with the scope for a new owner to put their own personal mark on the house.

Entrance into the property is through the house’s own main door, which leads into a hallway boasting a series of outstanding original features, including a particularly impressive tessellated tiled floor. The spacious surroundings of the hallway are replicated throughout all of the property’s main rooms, which all lead off from this central space.

With two well-proportioned reception rooms, the house has ample space to entertain family and friends. The grandeur of the period features in the hallway continues into the reception rooms, with intricate cornicing and marble fireplaces to behold in both areas.

Throughout the property there is an abundance of natural light to enjoy, none more so than in the four double bedrooms that the home possesses. Of particular splendour is the master bedroom, which is spacious but remains cosy enough as the perfect haven for some rest and relaxation.

The kitchen is also perfect for family living, with substantial space and traditional feel provided by features such as a highly sought after Aga cooker.

Alasdair MacKenzie, who is handling the sale for CKD Galbraith, said: “Given the period features and terrific location, 54 St Albans Road is a wonderful opportunity to acquire a lovely home in the heart of Edinburgh. The property is packed with character but still gives a great chance for new owners to put their personal mark on the house.

“With a number of nicely presented public rooms as well as four spacious bedrooms, not to mention the fantastic mature gardens surrounding the house, the property is perfect for everyday family living as well as those occasions when entertaining friends and family.”

Moving outside, the garden around the property is of an equally high standard. With mature trees to the front and rear of the property, the garden is the perfect place to escape to on a summer’s day and is suitable for both the keenest gardeners wishes to grow their own plants or those who would prefer to spend less time working on maintaining this area.

The property is also near to the open spaces of the Meadows, Blackford Hill, The Hermitage and Holyrood Park and with good local facilities and a number of highly rated schools in close proximity, the location is ideal for a family looking for a spacious home in the area.

Offers over £795,000 are being invited for 54 St Albans Road.
