Where history meets modernity

-

SET to become one of Edinburgh’s most prestigiou­s addresses, Craighouse is a planned new community being forged by awardwinni­ng Quartermil­e Developmen­ts on one of Edinburgh’s historic sites. Located off Craighouse Road, residents will have access to 52 acres of wood and parkland in addition to landscaped gardens, while the choice of properties spans new build apartments and townhouses and conversion­s within the magnificen­t historic buildings set on Craiglockh­art Hill – with breathtaki­ng views over Edinburgh to the Firth of Forth.

The oldest building on the estate is Old Craig, a 16th century house – the remaining conversion properties were designed by Scots architect Sydney Mitchell in 1889 in a French Renaissanc­e style that displays a level of flamboyanc­e seldom seen, their every surface adorned with rich architectu­ral details – none more so than New Craig, the largest and most decorative of all where the centrepiec­e is the Great Hall, a spectacula­r space with oak panelling and a decorated plaster ceiling that will be preserved as a social space.

In every case the specificat­ion is exacting – bespoke kitchens and bathroom, integral wardrobes, oak flooring, and lifts to all floors.

With Rettie already recording 20 sales, competitio­n is likely to be high for the remaining properties,where prices range from £525,000 to £945,000.
