    About this property

    • This beautifully presented family home is situated in an elevated position providing it with impressive panoramic views over the estuary of the Firth of Forth.

      The period house was originally built in 1910 and retains an abundance of original character. It has been extended and upgraded by the current owners to include impressive extensions to the side and rear by Zone Architects, designed to maximise light and the spectacular views to the Firth of Forth and the world famous bridges. Further information on the work carried out can be found here:

      7 Station Road is entered via a vestibule into a welcoming hallway off which the ground floor accommodation radiates. Located at the front of the house is the bay-windowed sitting room to one side of the hall and a study to the other.

      To the rear of the house is the more formal living room, boasting glorious period detail and an attractive bay window from which to enjoy the breath-taking views. Across the hallway is the dining room which in turn leads to the hugely impressive kitchen. This spectacular space was installed by the current owners and has been featured in Architectural publications. Benefiting from full-height glazing on two aspects, it allows the impressive vistas beyond to penetrate in to the space and become an integral feature of this home. The kitchen benefits from a Lutron Mood lighting system and three Siemens self-cleaning ovens (main oven; microwave/fan combi oven & steam/fan combi oven). A large sliding door leads from here to the terrace beyond.

      A spacious utility room is located off the kitchen and a shower room, cloak room and under-stair store complete the ground floor.

      From the hallway the staircase ascends to the first floor landing and the bedrooms located there. To the rear of the property is the principal bedroom which has a bay window overlooking the Firth of Forth and the three bridges. Double doors lead from this room to bedroom two. This allows the flexibility for this space to be used either as a dressing room forming a principal suite or as a double bedroom with an en suite bathroom complete with spa bath and shower.

      There are two further double bedrooms together with a family bathroom also fitted with a spa bath and separate shower. There is also a useful, and generous, linen cupboard.

      Returning to the kitchen, a staircase leads down from here to a self-contained garden flat consisting of a spacious double bedroom and an open plan kitchen / living / dining space and a bathroom complete with shower. This room benefits again from impressive views of the Rail Bridge and beyond and provides the flexibility of being used as an integral part of the home or, benefiting from its own access, as a stand-alone annexe.

      7 Station Road sits in beautifully presented gardens to the front, rear and sides of the house. A large terrace is accessed from the kitchen and dining room which provide a wonderful, elevated space overlooking the garden and from which to enjoy the views.

      A granite staircase leads from here down to the rest of the garden which has a lawned area which is surrounded by well-stocked borders featuring a range of mature shrubs, flowers and trees. The garden produces a wide variety of fruit and herbs.

      There is a double garage, integral to the house and in addition there is a spacious store which houses the heating system and also leads to a cellar. This space is used as a garden utility, workshop and store room.
