    About this property

    • 46 Pilrig Street offers a unique opportunity to acquire an impressive semi-detached Georgian home, located within one mile of Edinburgh’s bustling city centre. The house provides an abundance of space and flexible accommodation arranged over three floors. Situated just 300 metres from Pilrig Park and 100 metres from Leith Walk, the property is ideally positioned for excellent transport links and a wide range of local amenities.

      Upon entering the property on the ground floor, you are welcomed into an inviting vestibule with a beautiful flagstone floor, which leads into the hallway and onwards to the principal living spaces and a convenient downstairs WC. The spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area is a standout feature of the home. Benefiting from large windows overlooking the private garden, the room is flooded with natural light and provides an exceptional space for both family living and entertaining. A separate utility room is accessed directly from the dining area.

      The sitting room is positioned to the front of the property and retains fine period features, including detailed cornicing and an elegant feature fireplace. Two large sash-and-case windows with acoustic double glazing allow natural light to pour in while maintaining peace and are complemented by fully functioning shutters.

      On the first floor, there is a bright and spacious drawing room, which could alternatively be used as a principal bedroom and benefits from an en-suite bathroom. It also provides access to a study/double bedroom, which could be converted into a dressing room if desired. In addition, there are two further double bedrooms on this level, one of which benefits from an en-suite. All three bedrooms and the drawing room on this floor have double glazing. A family bathroom is accessed from the hall.

      The second floor offers three additional bedrooms, along with an en-suite bathroom and a further shower room. A living room / kitchen on this floor provides excellent additional flexibility, ideal for guests, older children, or multi-generational living.

      Externally, the home benefits from a driveway and a fully enclosed private rear garden with a number of fruits trees.

    46 Pilrig Street is a particularly appealing home, combining the scale and character of a Georgian property with the flexibility that modern family life demands. I particularly like the open-plan kitchen and dining space, which feels like the natural heart of the house and has a lovely connection to the private rear garden. The accommodation is exceptionally versatile, with the potential for up to seven bedrooms as well as a separate living/kitchen space on the top floor, making it particularly well suited to larger families, multi-generational living or those looking for adaptable space for guests and working from home. The combination of period features, generous proportions, private parking and garden, together with the excellent location just off Leith Walk, makes this a very compelling city home
