It is a stark fact that you get an awful lot more for your money if you move out of Edinburgh city centre, but that is as true at the top end of the market as anywhere else.

Grange Dell is a case in point. The house, which was built in 1915 in an

art deco style, occupies four acres of grounds at the foot of the Pentland Hills and has views across open countryside.

The white render, geometric door surrounds, tall windows and curved corner windows are characteristic of the period. It was extended in 1986 and further renovations have been undertaken to create a large footprint which is very flexible.

The main house has a drawing room, dining room, conservatory, billiard room, informal sitting room and study with turret window, plus a bright breakfasting kitchen with a butler’s pantry.

Upstairs are six bedrooms, two of them suites, and a family bathroom.

But the house also has a twobedroomed duplex apartment with a separate entrance and a games room with kitchenette and shower, which could make a studio

apartment. A separate lodge with three bedrooms and a further studio is also available, making Grange Dell either a superb estate for giving a multi-generational family its own space, or a lifestyle business.

Offers over £995,000 for Grange Dell House, or £1.35m including Grange Dell Lodge.
