Set on one of Murrayfield’s most sought-after residential streets, 52 Gordon Road represents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial family home with exceptional scope for renovation, reconfiguration and extension.
Extending to approximately 2,282 sq ft, the property already offers generous accommodation over two levels, with the scale and proportions that make traditional houses on this street so desirable. The ground floor comprises a welcoming entrance vestibule and broad central hallway, an impressive bay-windowed lounge, a separate dining room, study, and a large dining kitchen to the rear, complemented by a utility room, pantry and WC. This layout provides an excellent footprint for modern family living and offers clear potential to open up and enhance the rear of the house to create a superb kitchen, dining and family hub overlooking the garden.
Upstairs, the first-floor hosts four well-proportioned bedrooms, including a particularly spacious principal bedroom with adjoining dressing room, together with a shower room and additional accommodation off the landing. The ceiling heights and room sizes throughout underline the sense of space and flexibility the house provides, and the existing layout offers strong foundations for reimagining the upper level to suit modern family requirements.
While the property now requires upgrading and modernisation, this is where its true appeal lies. The house offers outstanding development potential, subject to the necessary consents, with obvious scope to extend further into the rear garden to create a larger open-plan living environment, as well as the opportunity to develop the attic level to form additional bedrooms, a home office or even a principal suite. With its sizeable footprint, traditional structure and generous plot, this is a home that can be significantly enhanced to create a long-term family house of real quality and value in a blue-chip location.
Gordon Road is a highly regarded Corstorphine address, known for its handsome period homes, excellent local amenities, and convenient access to the city centre, transport links and well-regarded schooling.
