Description
Occupying a remarkably private and mature setting on the southern edge of Edinburgh, Broomhills Farmhouse is a distinguished and beautifully proportioned Victorian residence. The sellers during their tenure have made extensive improvements throughout the property that have increased the efficiency and liveability of the home.
Rich in period character yet thoughtfully adapted for modern family living, the property combines impressive reception space, generous bedroom accommodation and extensive grounds to create a feeling of private country living without sacrificing city accessibility and proximity.
A grand welcoming entrance foyer opens to an elegant reception hall, from which the principal accommodation flows. The living room is a particularly impressive space, featuring a striking bay window, high ceilings, ornate cornicing and an attractive fireplace, creating a refined setting for both entertaining and everyday living. A formal dining room provides further reception space, whilst an additional office offers excellent flexibility for home working.
At the heart of the home lies a superb contemporary breakfasting kitchen. Thoughtfully designed around a substantial central island, the space seamlessly combines functionality and style, with quality cabinetry, stone worktops and ample room for informal dining and family gatherings. Large glazed doors connect the interior with the gardens beyond, bringing abundant natural light into the home and reinforcing the connection with the outdoor setting. An ideal space for entertaining, there is also a separate snooker room adjacent perfect for hosting large families and groups.
A useful utility room, laundry area, storage rooms and cloakroom facilities have been created and is accessed through the space and externally.
The upper floors provide extensive family accommodation, including a magnificent principal bedroom suite enjoying generous proportions and an en-suite bathroom. Four further double bedrooms are complemented by an additional family bathroom, providing flexibility for growing families, guests or multi-generational living. A separate sitting room and additional bedroom with bathroom within the west wing create an ideal guest suite, teenager's retreat or self-contained accommodation.
Externally, the property is set within substantial established grounds of approximately 0.8 acres that provide a wonderful sense of seclusion and countryside tranquillity whilst remaining within easy reach of Edinburgh city centre. Mature trees, expansive lawns and mature gardens create a beautiful backdrop throughout the seasons. There are both stables and a doo'cot in the grounds that function excellently for additional external storage or could have flexible use to suit a variety of needs.
Of particular note is the detached summer cabin situated within the grounds that includes a built in swim spa/hot tub. Offering a variety of potential uses, from home office or studio space to guest accommodation (subject to any requisite consents), the cabin enhances the property's versatility. Given the scale of the site, there may also be longer-term development or ancillary accommodation potential, subject to obtaining the necessary planning permissions and consents.
Broomhills Farmhouse presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period residence combining character, privacy, land and future potential in a highly sought-after Edinburgh location.
