Description

51 Cramond Glebe Road is a substantial, bright and wonderfully presented detached family home providing spacious and comfortable accommodation over two floors. The property sits in an elevated position directly overlooking the River Almond in the heart of the historic coastal Cramond village, one of Edinburgh's most sought-after locations.

With aspects on all sides, the property benefits from plenty of natural light and offers superb, free-flowing family living and reception space throughout the ground floor complemented by four generous bedrooms on the upper floor making this a superb family home. There are also a series of cellars on the lower level that could be developed to provide additional accommodation, subject to acquiring the necessary consents.

Passing though the vestibule, one enters the welcoming reception hall off which the accommodation radiates. To the front of the property is the open plan kitchen / family room with panoramic views of the garden and the River Almond beyond, viewed through full height glazed sliding doors which lead to the rear deck.

The dining room is adjacent and is a wonderfully bright space with floor to ceiling windows on the south and west aspects and glazed double doors leading to a decked area on the east aspect.

The sitting room is positioned off the dining room and is the perfect space to spend a cosy evening, making the most of the open fire. The walls are lined with timber from the cabin of a former owner of the house who was a prominent naval captain.

To the front of the property is the office. This room provides flexible space and would serve equally well as a fifth bedroom.

Completing the ground floor, there is a spacious utility room complete with a back door and a W.C off the entrance hall.

The stairs ascend to the airy first floor landing off which are four double bedrooms, the principal of which has a well appointed en suite bathroom with bath and separate shower. This room boasts impressive views to the north and west of the River Almond and the Firth of Forth.

There is a dressing room on the floor which could also be used as a nursery or study space, depending on requirements. In addition there is a family shower room and separate W.C.

A ladder currently provides access to the roof and, with planning permission, a more permanent feature could be added to turn this into an impressive roof terrace. This would provide an incredible space to entertain and enjoy far-reaching views of the Firth of Forth and to Fife beyond.

Externally, 51 Cramond Glebe Road is equally impressive. The house sits centrally within in circa 0.44 acres and has spectacular gardens, decks and terraces on all sides, most notable on the west (to the rear of the house) overlooking the River Almond.

There are two driveways, one of which provides access to the detached double garage. This garage could be converted into a separate residence, subject to acquiring the necessary consents.
