Avallon stands as a remarkable Grade A listed Baronial villa, crafted by renowned architect David Bryce, nestled within expansive and private grounds in the sought-after Morningside area of Edinburgh. Properties of this architectural excellence and size rarely become available in such a prime location. The main residence is elegantly imposing, showcasing distinctive features typical of Bryce’s design, including detailed stonework and a commanding presence. Although it retains significant historic charm, the property requires modernization and development, presenting a unique opportunity for a new owner to renovate and enhance it to their specifications, subject to necessary planning approvals. The generous layout offers flexibility that would allow for the creation of an exceptional family home tailored to personal preferences.
Accompanying the main house is a coach house and additional living spaces which further expand the potential for redevelopment—whether for extra living accommodations, guest quarters, or alternative uses with appropriate consents. Additionally, the estate includes a quaint lodge house at 2A Clinton Road, also in need of refurbishment, allowing for further accommodation options or guest use.
Set within lush and mature grounds, Avallon benefits from its rare privacy while being conveniently located near Morningside's array of amenities—including independent shops and restaurants—as well as exceptional green spaces like Blackford Hill and Arthur’s Seat. The property represents not only an opportunity to preserve its historical significance but also the chance to realize its full potential in one of Edinburgh's most desirable neighbourhoods. Its location offers seamless access to Edinburgh’s city centre while being well-connected to various educational institutions and transport links.
