3 Description Situated in one of Edinburgh s most prestigious locations and extending to 3210 square feet, 24 Greenhill Gardens is an elegant and beautifully proportioned semi-detached stone-built Victorian house dating from the mid 1850 s, sitting in approximately one third of an acre of garden ground. The house features in Volume 1 of Historic Scotland and was at one time reputedly the residence of Sir John Steel, R.S.A., Royal Sculptor for Scotland. Many of his works are to be found in the centre of the City including the seated figure of Sir Walter Scott at the foot of the Scott Monument and the Wellington Monument of the Iron Duke in front of Register House. It is thought he may have had some influence in the presence of superb carved door panelling in the Drawing Room and Dining Room of the property. The house provides spacious and flexible family accommodation over 2 floors with the additional benefit of private front and rear gardens, off-street parking and a detached double garage. Internally the property has been carefully and sympathetically restored by the current owners whilst retaining a number of fine period features. Entered via a traditional vestibule into a spacious reception hallway, the ground floor accommodation comprises 3 reception rooms, a shower room and a breakfasting kitchen with utility room off. Of particular note is the stunning drawing room to the front with a magnificent fireplace as its centrepiece along with intricately carved wood panelling, working window shutters, decorative cornice work and ceiling rose. The staircase with ornate timber balustrade rises to a large first floor landing with cupola above, where there are 5 bedrooms as well as 2 bathrooms. Externally the property benefits from attractive gardens to the front and rear. The front garden is wellscreened with a high hedge to the front and a stone wall to the side. A pedestrian gate at the front gives access to a path which leads through the shrubbery to the front of the house. To the side of the house is a double sliding gate for vehicular access. This leads to generous off-street parking in front of the relatively recently constructed double garage. The large walled rear garden is mainly laid to lawn with a number of trees, shrubs, fruit bushes and flowering plants. There is a spacious decked area at the rear of the property as well as two patio areas.
