This breathtaking family house, constructed in 2006 to a very individual design with its copper roof and seamless glass doors, has been cleverly created to meld into the hillside, allowing each level of the house to have direct access to the garden. This, combined with an overhead cupola and a series of terraces and balconies leading off the principal rooms, ensures that the house is filled with natural light and has the effect that the house spills into the garden. The house is designed over three levels. On the ground floor there is a large gymnasium overlooking a tranquil pond, a sauna, WC, wet room and a hot tub again overlooking the pond which can be lit from a central keypad. From the lower hall there is access to a large double garage with automatic sliding doors and tiled floor, and the plant room beyond. A magnificent black granite, stainless steel and glass stair with atmospheric lighting leads up to a central open plan reception area on the first floor. Here, the sitting area has a most unusual limestone and marble chimney breast with open fireplace with a hidden home cinema screen and projector and access via two glass doors to a large terrace. The central dining area gives access to the kitchen/breakfast room. The 'Kitchens International' designed kitchen has ample base and wall units in walnut with granite worktops and coloured glass splashback, an induction hob with 'Wolf' low level 'hidden' extractor, and a full range of top of the range appliances. Off the kitchen is a small utility room with commercial ice making drinks fridge. Steps from the dining area lead down to the games room to the front of the house. Here, there is a black granite fireplace with open fire and sliding doors to a front terrace with superb views cross the city. Beyond the games room is a large office/study with full IT connections. The bedrooms are situated on the second floor where a beautifully appointed principal bedroom suite incorporates a bedroom with walnut cupboards, dressing room leading to a terrace, a walk-in wardrobe/dressing room and an en suite bathroom with spa/wave bath. The guest bedroom has a very elegant en suite bathroom and large terrace, a second double bedroom has an en suite shower room and a balcony and the fourth bedroom could be utilised as a children's playroom. A large conservatory with seamless glass spills onto a patio area and out to the garden at the rear. A luxury 'wet' family bathroom completes the accommodation on the second floor. At first floor level there is a self contained flat with its own access either from the central living area or from the terrace. This comprises an open-plan living/kitchen area, double bedroom and bathroom.
Belmont Drive is one of Edinburgh's most exclusive addresses, accessed off Ellersly Road via electric gates and a private driveway leading into the Belmont Estate. 11 acres of landscaped grounds and extensive, mature, open woodlands provide an unrivalled location for three outstanding family homes, each of a very individual character, taking full advantage of the exceptional views and leafy backdrop and offering state of the art 21st century living. The original Belmont House remains within the Estate and is steeped in history having been designed by William Playfair and constructed in 1828. The area, approximately 1½ miles from the City centre, is renowned for its impressive family houses, mature tree lined roads and well established gardens. There are many excellent amenities close at hand including several sports clubs, golf courses at Ravelston and Murrayfield and of course the Murrayfield Stadium and Ice Rink. Private schools close by include St Georges School for Girls, and Stewart's Melville College and The Mary Erskine School. The excellent local amenities of the West End and the City centre are a short bus ride away, and nearby Haymarket Station offers easy access to both Edinburgh and Glasgow. Local shopping is available in Roseburn and there is a Sainsbury Superstore only a short drive away. There is convenient road access westwards towards the City Bypass, Edinburgh International Airport and the motorway links to the North, South and West.
The house is approached through brick pillars via a driveway leading to a parking and turning area to the front. The garden to the front is laid to lawn with a magnificent oak tree, well stocked shrub borders and mature trees. There is vehicular access to the west of the house and to the rear the garden is laid to lawn leading up to a beech hedge behind which is a 2 meter 'badger strip'. Here too a number of recently planted but well established lime trees provide complete privacy. To the east, the garden drops down in a series of terraced lawns connecting to the terraces and culminates with a stylish lit pond outside the games room. The terraces and patios, lit and dressed with mature planters, add a further dimension to the outside space. In all, the garden extends to approximately 0.9 acres. There is a double garage with tiled floor and sliding automatic doors with plenty of room for two large cars and direct access to the house.
