Transcription

1 Location 27 Lauder Road is found within the heart of The Grange, a prosperous and desirable suburb of Edinburgh, lying about one and a half miles south of the city centre, with Morningside and Greenhill to the west, Newington to the east, and Marchmont to the north. The Grange is immersed in history. Formerly known as St. Giles Grange, the land was owned and farmed through the 14th Century by the monks of St. Giles Cathedral, the High Kirk of Edinburgh. By the late 18th Century, the Estate had become the property of the Dick family and it was this family that subsequently initiated the residential development of the Grange in the 1860 s. Bruntsfield, with its diverse selection of shops and restaurants, is an easy walk, while Morningside offers: the famous, family owned, Dominion Cinema; theatres; pubs; restaurants and; a plethora of interesting shops. Sainsbury s, Tesco, Waitrose and M&S all have stores close by and the Cameron Toll shopping centre and a range of independent shops on Causewayside are very accessible. The Meadows, Blackford Hill, Arthur s Seat, the Braid Hills and Holyrood Park are all close. The Royal Commonwealth Pool, various golf courses and the Midlothian Snowsports Centre at Hillend offer sporting recreational facilities of the highest calibre. There is a plentiful selection of good schools that are suitably placed; Sciennes Primary School and James Gillespie s High School in the state sector and George Heriots, George Watson s College and Merchiston Castle School in the Private sector. The city by-pass and the motorway network (M8, M9, M90 and the Queensferry Crossing) are in proximity.

2 Built in 1875, this is a Grade B listed, two-bay rectangular plan Italianate villa, topped a with a rooftop tower. The accommodation currently comprises: GROUND FLOOR Hall with screened vestibule, ornate cornicing, fireplace and archetypal Victorian tiled floor Bedroom/office Stair providing access to part of the 1st floor and featuring a stained glass window Cloakroom/WC Reception hall with parquet floor, square supporting columns with carved heads, ornate corning, partial stained glass cupola Bedroom/Common Room with door leading to the garden Drawing room with parquet floor, panelled to dado, elaborate cornice and rose and fireplace Side hall Sitting room with West aspect, three light bay window Middle bedroom Back bedroom with press Rear hall Larder/cupboard Kitchen/dining area Boiler room 27 Lauder Road A very large proportion of the Victorian interior and consequent grandeur remains intact and the house has the additional benefit of a staggering 360 degree view of Edinburgh from its four sided tower. It would ideally suit a full and sympathetic restoration, returning it to its late Victorian magnificence, while incorporating the ease of current design criteria, thus reintroducing its proportions and style, while making its management effective and ultimately comfortable. Alternatively, employing adaptation through design, there is a seldom offered opportunity to transform this grand house into several separate sumptuous apartments, thus enabling this extraordinary building to be enjoyed by several occupants.
