A rare and exciting opportunity has arisen to acquire a truly stunning detached family home on the highly desirable Durham Road in Edinburgh’s sought-after Duddingston location. Set within a generous private plot, this beautifully presented property combines classic period charm with contemporary finishes throughout. Boasting five spacious double bedrooms, multiple elegant reception rooms, a basement utility, playroom, and exquisite outdoor entertaining space, this home is perfectly suited to modern family living.

The property is set back from the road and offers excellent kerb appeal, with off-street parking for multiple vehicles and a detached garage with additional office. Inside, the ground floor features a welcoming vestibule and grand entrance hallway leading to a bright and spacious formal drawing room, complete with bay window and feature fireplace. A versatile fifth bedroom is also located on this level, ideal as a guest suite or home office.

On the lower ground level, a fully renovated basement offers a superb children’s playroom or games area, a large utility room, and additional storage, further enhancing the home’s practicality.

Externally, the property truly excels. The beautifully landscaped rear garden has been thoughtfully designed to create a private outdoor retreat, with lawned areas, mature planting, and a stylish patio. The standout feature is the bespoke outdoor kitchen, fully equipped and ideal for hosting family gatherings or summer garden parties. The detached garage and adjoining storage room offer excellent functionality, while the generous front driveway provides ample off-street parking.
