4 bed semi-detached house for sale

22 Blacket Place, Edinburgh EH9

Designed by renowned architect James Gillespie Graham, a gated east-facing front garden sets the tone, with the entrance framed by a pair of striking Doric columns. The front door then opens into a spacious entrance vestibule adorned with original mosaic-tiled flooring, leading into a carpeted hallway.

To the right, the grand sitting room boasts twin east-facing sash and case windows overlooking the front garden. Period features abound, including exquisite cornicing, a ceiling rose, original parquet flooring, and a cast iron fireplace set in a black mantle, creating an ambience of refined elegance and comfort.

Straight ahead, past a guest WC, lies a versatile dining room that opens onto a west-facing balcony with views over the rear garden. Like the sitting room, it retains original character elements such as parquet flooring, high ceilings, and a handsome mantelpiece, and would benefit from redecoration.

Adjacent, the west-facing kitchen provides direct access to the garden via French doors. While the space requires some modernisation, it currently features illuminated wood-effect wall and floor cabinetry, worktops, and room for freestanding appliances. An additional room positioned to the rear completes the ground floor.

Ascending the staircase complete with a mahogany banister and intricate ironwork you arrive at a generously sized principal bedroom with east-facing views across Blacket Place. This serene retreat is adorned with parquet flooring, a ceiling rose, detailed cornicing, built-in presses, and a striking white marble fireplace.

Three additional light and airy double bedrooms are located on this floor and each shares access to a family bathroom now requiring refurbishment.

The basement which also leads to the rear garden, offers exceptional potential, with three good-sized rooms and three smaller ones. These could be transformed into additional bedrooms, a home office, or a self-contained suite for older children or extended family. It is completed by a bathroom.

Externally, the enclosed rear garden with a useful shed, provides a tranquil escape, featuring a spacious lawn bordered by mature trees and original stone walling. The private front garden, with its east-facing lawn tucked behind established hedging, offers a peaceful outlook.

On-street permit parking is available to the front of the property.
