5 bed detached house for sale

The Gables, 16 Lanark Road West, Currie, Edinburgh EH14

** closing date set Tuesday 21st April at 12PM**

The Gables is a substantial detached family home occupying an exceptional corner plot on the edge of Currie, offering over 1860 sq ft of internal accommodation, extensive private gardens, outstanding parking, and exciting scope for future enhancement.

Set on a wonderfully generous plot bordered by open field ground to the rear, this is a home with rare outdoor space and excellent long-term potential. The house itself offers a highly flexible layout with multiple reception spaces and five bedrooms arranged over two levels. On the ground floor, the entrance vestibule opens to a welcoming hallway with storage. To the rear, the spacious sitting room enjoys a tranquil spot overlooking the garden whilst at the front of the house, the dining room has a bright south-easterly aspect with views of the surrounding countryside. The kitchen is fitted with a good range of cabinetry and excellent worktop space and connects through to a generous sun room with adjoining utility room and WC.

Also on the ground floor are two double bedrooms and a contemporary wet room, giving excellent flexibility for guests, multigenerational living, or those seeking predominantly ground-floor accommodation. Upstairs, there are three further double bedrooms, all with built-in storage, together with a family bathroom and additional eaves storage off the landing.

Externally, the large corner plot allows for generous front and rear gardens, with the rear garden in particular offering a wonderful sense of space and privacy, bordered by the adjoining field. A path accessed directly from the back garden leads out beside the field, making it especially appealing for dog walkers and those who enjoy easy access to the surrounding green space. There is significant driveway parking, an attached single garage, and a substantial detached garage measuring approximately 9.45m x 5.70m, which offers fantastic versatility. In addition to secure parking, it would be ideal for those seeking space for a motor home, boat, workshop, home gym, or additional storage.

The property has previously benefited from planning permission in relation to the detached garage, and while there is no longer active planning permission in place, a new submission has been made. The proposed plans are to convert the large, detached garage into a two-bedroom, bungalow with lovely gardens, a private drive, and a large garage.

While the house would now benefit from a degree of modernisation, it represents a rare opportunity to acquire a sizeable home with superb flexibility, excellent outdoor space and clear scope to add further value.

The property is fitted with gas central heating and double glazing.
