Occupying a commanding position on one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious residential avenues, 13 Wester Coates Terrace is a substantial semi-detached Edwardian villa extending to approximately 4,700 sq ft and offering a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished family home of considerable scale and exceptional potential.
Owned by the same owner for over 30 years, the property has more recently been used in part as a children’s kindergarten and now presents an exciting opportunity for a purchaser to undertake a comprehensive programme of refurbishment and restoration. Rich in period character and original architectural detail, the house offers tremendous potential to create an outstanding family residence, seamlessly combining Edwardian elegance with contemporary living.
A particular highlight is the exceptional plot. Rarely found in such a central location, the mature gardens wrap around the front, side and rear of the house, providing a remarkable degree of privacy and seclusion. The predominantly south-west facing rear garden enjoys sunshine throughout much of the day and offers ample space for family life, entertaining and further landscaping. Subject to the necessary consents, there may also be scope to extend the existing accommodation, create extensive private parking or construct a garage.
