Substantial detached Victorian villa in need of modernising with a superb south facing walled garden, off-street parking and garage set in one of Edinburgh's most vibrant, sought-after areas
10 Greenhill Park is a substantial detached Victorian villa offering beautifully proportioned family accommodation set over ground, first and attic floors. The house benefits from an abundance of natural light throughout much of the day with aspects predominantly to the north and south. The house retains much of its period charm with a variety of original features including the impressive stone stair with timber bannister and balustrades as well as a stained glass window half-way up, and delightful decorative cornicing and plasterwork in the principal rooms. While now in need of modernising, the house offers great potential to create superb family living spaces with elegant reception rooms, complemented by generous bedrooms, making this a wonderful house and a rare opportunity.
The entrance vestibule opens to the impressive and welcoming reception hall from where the main living and reception rooms are accessed and the impressive stair rises to the first floor. To the front are the elegant dining room and sitting room, while situated to the rear of the property are the study/family room, sun room, breakfasting kitchen with pantry and cloakroom while there is also a utility room, WC and further storage cupboards.
On the first floor there is a wonderful drawing room, five generously proportioned double bedrooms, a family bathroom and an additional shower room. A further stair provides access to the attic, where there are three further bedrooms, which are currently used for storage.
The house is set well back from the road, with an easily maintained front garden and gated path leading to the house. To one side there is a driveway providing off-street parking and leading to the single garage. To the rear of the property there is a magnificent south facing walled garden, planted with a wide variety of mature and colourful plants, shrubs and trees in the herbaceous borders surrounding the generous central lawn.

This is an exceptionally rare opportunity to own a superb family home in one of Edinburgh's most sought after areas. The existing house is beautifully proportioned and I particularly love the wonderful south facing garden.
