Description

This detached four-bedroom house in Ravelston offers substantial accommodation, private gardens and scope to update the interiors. The ground floor includes an entrance vestibule and large hall, a front sitting room with a bay window and fireplace, a separate dining room overlooking the garden, a kitchen with an adjoining utility room, an office and a cloakroom with WC. The utility room connects to the integral garage. Upstairs are four double bedrooms arranged around a central landing. The principal bedroom has an en-suite shower room, and a family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms. The landing opens onto a front-facing balcony and provides access to a fully floored attic, currently suitable for storage, with conversion potential subject to the necessary consents. A cellar is accessed from the rear of the house and provides further storage, with any alternative use subject to consents. The sheltered rear garden has a lawn, raised beds and patio areas, while the front garden and large driveway provide off-street parking and access to the garage. The property has gas central heating and double-glazed windows. Blinds, curtains, light fittings, fitted flooring and white goods are included; other items may be available by separate negotiation. Ravelston is around two miles west of Edinburgh city centre. Nearby amenities include shops, bars and restaurants in Stockbridge, Craigleith Retail Park, local parks and golf courses, with bus routes and access to Haymarket, the tram, the bypass and the M8.

WHOTS analysis

Our WHOTS verdict

An internal assessment of the opportunity to acquire, improve and create value.

67out of 100
Grade CPotential opportunity

Confidence: MEDIUM

At £995,000, this substantial Ravelston home is priced at £336/sqf, around 10% below the local average—a useful opportunity to acquire a large four-bedroom house with generous reception rooms, an integral garage and well-kept gardens. Its maintained, usable condition makes the dated finishes a manageable canvas: the kitchen and bathrooms, decoration and some flooring offer scope for a light modernisation, with the renovation range estimated at £8,000–£18,000.

The floored attic and cellar are additional possibilities to explore, subject to feasibility and any necessary consents. The overall score is a C: strong price and property fundamentals are balanced by more moderate condition and location scores.

Key opportunities

  • Modernise the dated kitchen, bathrooms, decoration and selected flooring to refresh an otherwise usable home.
  • Make the most of the large sitting and dining rooms, four double bedrooms, office and integral garage.
  • Explore the floored attic and cellar for additional use, subject to feasibility and any required consents.
