This beautifully presented upper villa offers far more than first meets the eye. Set directly opposite Edinburgh Napier University and just minutes from the tram network connecting you across the city, the location alone makes this a standout. Add in proximity to Edinburgh Airport and Murrayfield Stadium, plus a bus stop right outside the property, and it quickly becomes clear why this is such a strong opportunity for both homeowners and investors.
Access is via a shared entrance at ground level, leading to your own private internal staircase. At the top, the hallway opens into a bright and welcoming space, finished with light grey wood effect flooring and neutral décor that flows throughout the home.
The lounge is a particularly inviting room, with dual front facing windows allowing natural light to pour in, creating a bright and airy feel. An electric fire set within a decorative surround provides a focal point, while a fitted alcove with shelving and storage adds practicality without compromising the space. Newly installed radiators ensure the home remains efficient and comfortable, contributing to notably low monthly running costs.
The kitchen continues the modern feel, with glossy white units, dark worktops and stylish tiled splashbacks. A Hotpoint electric hob and built-in oven are neatly integrated, while soft blue tones on the walls add personality. Dual aspect windows keep the space well lit throughout the day.
Both bedrooms are positioned to the rear, offering a quieter setting. The main bedroom is a generous double with ample room for additional furniture. The second bedroom is another well-proportioned double, enhanced by the addition of a spacious walk-in wardrobe, complete with its own door and key, providing excellent storage rarely found in properties of this type.
The shower room is bright and modern, finished with full tiling, a walk-in shower enclosure and a chrome towel radiator. A frosted window allows natural light in while maintaining privacy.
One of the most significant features of this property is the attic space. Extending to approximately 55 square metres, it is already in use as a home office and is easily accessed via a fitted pull-down ladder. The space offers exceptional potential, with scope to convert into two additional bedrooms. Previous owners had already progressed an application towards conversion, indicating that this is a realistic and highly valuable opportunity and significant upside for future value.
Externally, the private rear garden extends to approximately 45 square metres, mainly laid to lawn with mature planting and a timber shed for storage. In a city location like this, having your own outdoor space adds real lifestyle appeal.
On-street parking is available directly outside the property, set within a quiet cul-de-sac used only by residents, making it a far more peaceful and convenient setting for everyday parking.
This is not just a home, it’s an opportunity. A well presented upper villa in a prime Edinburgh location, combined with substantial attic potential, excellent transport links and strong investment appeal. Properties offering this level of flexibility and future value are rarely available, making this one not to be missed. Contact Hamish Homes today for further information or to arrange your viewing.
