Sassoon Grove, Craighouse, Edinburgh, Midlothian

Set within the highly regarded Craighouse development, this exceptional four-bedroom townhouse combines striking contemporary architecture with generous family accommodation extending to over 2,300 sq ft. Arranged across four levels and finished to an exacting standard throughout, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial modern home in one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential settings.

The accommodation has been thoughtfully designed to provide flexibility for modern living. The welcoming entrance level incorporates a spacious hall, integral garage, utility room and an impressive family room which could equally serve as a home cinema, gym, playroom or additional reception space.

The principal living accommodation occupies the first floor, where a magnificent sitting room enjoys an abundance of natural light through tall glazed windows framing attractive views towards Edinburgh’s historic skyline. The elegant interiors are complemented by a calming neutral palette, high-quality finishes and engineered timber flooring. To the rear, the beautifully appointed open-plan kitchen and dining room provides the perfect setting for both everyday family life and entertaining, with contemporary cabinetry, generous preparation space and direct access to the landscaped garden through large glazed doors.

The upper floors offer four well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal suite occupies the entire top floor and provides a luxurious retreat, featuring a dressing room, stylish en suite bathroom and direct access to a substantial private terrace. The terrace enjoys elevated views across the city and creates a wonderful outdoor entertaining space rarely found within the Edinburgh market. A further guest bedroom benefits from its own dressing room and en suite shower room, while two additional bedrooms are served by a beautifully finished family bathroom.

The property is further enhanced by private landscaped gardens, integral garage and a dedicated parking space, all within an established and highly sought-after residential community surrounded by mature woodland and open green space.

This exceptional property forms part of the award-winning Craighouse development, a landmark residential community situated on the southern edge of Edinburgh. Once home to the historic Victorian hospital buildings set within extensive grounds, the development has been carefully transformed into one of the city’s most exclusive residential enclaves, combining period heritage with outstanding contemporary homes.

The location enjoys a tranquil setting amidst mature woodland while remaining remarkably convenient for the city centre. Morningside and Bruntsfield offer an excellent selection of independent boutiques, artisan cafés, renowned restaurants and everyday amenities. The area is particularly popular with families owing to its proximity to some of Edinburgh’s most respected schools in both the state and independent sectors.

For those who enjoy outdoor pursuits, the open spaces of the Braid Hills, Blackford Hill and The Hermitage of Braid are all within reach, providing some of the city’s finest walking routes and panoramic viewpoints.
