About this property

  • 27 Rattray Drive is an extremely impressive, red sandstone, end-terraced, four bedroom family home which forms part of the exclusive Edinburgh City Hospital development in the highly sought-after area of Greenbank Village.

    The property is ideally situated at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac and is surrounded by beautifully maintained, leafy landscaped garden grounds. The light, bright and spacious accommodation is arranged over three levels and offers an abundance of living and entertaining space including south facing balconies with exceptional panoramic views of the Pentland Hills.

    On the ground floor, the welcoming entrance vestibule has a convenient cloakroom, and opens onto the generously proportioned hall with solid wood floors throughout. The hallway leads to a superbly appointed drawing room with separate sitting and dining areas located within the two large turrets of this former City Hospital building. There is also a charming covered, south facing balcony to the front. The stylish kitchen is open plan with the dining area and enjoys direct garden access down a set of stairs. In addition, there is a separate utility room, WC and large storage cupboard on this level.

    On the first floor there are four double bedrooms, a large principal en suite shower room, family bathroom and linen cupboard. The principal bedroom and bedroom two incorporate large turret windows and enjoy direct balcony access and stunning 180 degree views of the Pentland Hills which must be viewed to be truly appreciated. All bedrooms benefit from built in wardrobes.

    On the garden level there is a fantastic, versatile living space with direct access to a private covered patio and south facing garden area. The room also benefits from electric underfloor heating, cinema surround sound and ample storage space. This floor is currently used as a large family living space but could offer various other uses such as a self-contained apartment, large home office, home cinema or playroom. There is also a study area, perfect for those who work from home, an enclosed gym and unique temperature-controlled wine cellar that stores over 2,000 bottles. The wine cellar sits below the kitchen which has a glass floor panel allowing light to flood in.

    Externally, there is a private parking space, as well as ample parking available to the front of the house for residents and visitors. The property benefits from a bike store, extensive outdoor space, with both a south-facing, laid to lawn garden, and a separate rear garden with patio dining and BBQ decking area.
