7 bed semi-detached house for sale

Claremont Park, Leith Links EH6

Built around 1890 and occupied by its former owner for more than 60 years, this impressive home now presents a rare opportunity to restore and reimagine a house of outstanding proportions. Modernisation is required throughout, yet the fundamentals are exceptional: Elegant principal rooms, high ceilings, extensive accommodation and an enviable outlook over Leith Links to the front, with Arthur’s Seat forming a dramatic backdrop at the rear.

Beyond the enclosed front garden, the main door opens into a traditional vestibule and an exceptionally deep reception hall. The handsome staircase immediately sets the tone, retaining its carved timber banister and decorative cast-iron balustrade as it rises through the house. Original doors, generous ceiling heights, detailed plasterwork and timber flooring offer a valuable starting point for a sensitive renovation, with spacious bright rooms across three floors.

Directly opposite, the historic Links offer broad lawns, mature trees, paths and recreational space, placing an exceptional outdoor amenity quite literally on the doorstep. Its well-connected setting places an excellent choice of independent shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday services within easy reach, together with the Shore, Newhaven and Portobello. Regular buses and nearby tram stops provide convenient travel through central Edinburgh and onwards to the airport, while local schools and expansive green space enhance the address for family living.
