Situation
Dick Place is located at the heart of the Grange, a very well established residential suburb of Edinburgh, less than two miles drive south of the city centre. The popularity of the area is accounted for not only by its pleasant, quiet and leafy streets, but also by its convenient location for access to schools, local amenities and road links both in and out of town. Nearby Bruntsfield and Morningside provide a wealth of charming local shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, along with a cinema, theatre and a choice of supermarkets. There are a number of independent schools on the south side of the city, including George Watson’s, George Heriot’s and Merchiston Castle School.
Description
Whiteleaf House is a spectacular contemporary house with superb views and wonderfully light, spacious and free flowing accommodation, set over three principal floors, as well as incorporating a basement level. The property was completed in 2011 to an exceptionally high standard, blending a range of high specification fixtures and fittings. In the kitchen these include; Corian work surfaces, Quooker boiling water tap, walnut breakfast bar and integrated Neff appliances. Elsewhere, the property benefits from Porcelanosa tiling both internally and externally, under floor heating and a rotating Contura wood burning stove as well as a mix of Matki, Hans Grohe and Duravit bathroom fittings, a Home Cinema system and a top of the range Viessman boiler.
The property displays cutting edge style externally with clean lines, extensive use of glass and exceptionally free flowing family living and reception space internally on the ground and basement levels. The bedrooms are situated on the first and second floors, whilst the second floor also provides access to a superb viewing room and an extensive timber decked roof terrace, with views around the grounds and over the Carlton Cricket Club stretching round the south of Edinburgh and beyond to the Pentland Hills, Arthur’s Seat and Edinburgh Castle.
Externally, the grounds have been beautifully landscaped to provide extensive lawns set predominantly to the east and south of the house, whilst they continue as a border to the parking sweep andto the entrance to the drive, where there are remotely controlled electric gates. The double garage sits adjacent to the house and has an electrically controlled door. There is also a private access point, with a right to use, to the Carlton Cricket ground.
