Westfield, 40 Pentland Avenue, is a truly distinguished detached residence dating from circa 1895 and representing a rare example of a historic “Lormier” House, a style celebrated for its craftsmanship, architectural character, and enduring quality. Rich in period detail and packed with history, the property offers an exceptional sense of heritage while providing the scale and flexibility required for modern family living.
Set on Pentland Avenue, one of Edinburgh’s most exclusive and sought-after addresses, the house enjoys a peaceful yet highly convenient setting, further enhanced by attractive views towards the Pentland Hills. This prime location offers the perfect balance of privacy and accessibility, with the city centre easily reached while retaining a tranquil, residential atmosphere.
The house is ideally positioned for access to some of Edinburgh’s most prestigious schools, making it particularly appealing for families. Nearby institutions include Merchiston Castle School, George Watson’s College, George Heriot’s School, Stewart’s Melville College and The Mary Erskine School (ESMS), as well as St George’s School for Girls, all of which are renowned for their academic excellence and facilities.
Internally, the property offers extensive and well-proportioned accommodation arranged over two principal floors, with a substantial attic floor running the full length of the house, providing excellent storage capacity and clear potential for further development if desired.
The ground floor is centred around a welcoming reception hall leading to a series of elegant public rooms, including a formal drawing room, sitting room, and a more informal snug. A generous kitchen and dining space forms the heart of the home, complemented by practical additions such as a utility room, pantry, and ancillary areas.
The first floor hosts a range of spacious bedrooms, including a principal bedroom, further doubles, a study, a family bathroom and an additional shower room, all thoughtfully arranged to maximise comfort and natural light.
Externally, Westfield is set within impressive grounds, featuring a large predominantly south-west facing garden which enjoys excellent sunlight throughout the day and into the evening, making it ideal for both relaxation and entertaining. Within the garden there is a standalone summer house with power, offering a versatile space that could serve as a home office, studio, or leisure area.
The property is accessed via a private driveway providing parking for multiple vehicles, in addition to a substantial double garage. Electric gates enhance both privacy and security, reinforcing the sense of exclusivity that defines this outstanding home.
Altogether, Westfield represents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine historical significance on one of Edinburgh’s finest addresses, combining period elegance, generous accommodation, beautiful grounds and exceptional amenities in a truly prime location.
