The kitchen is a moderate size and looks out onto the beautiful garden area, towards the other end of the room is an open space dining area with a bright colour scheme that brings sunshine into the home.

There is a large living room with a cosy fireplace and charming wooden floors with a set of cream-carpeted stairs leading upstairs to more living areas, bedrooms and a small office that has huge windows highlighting the view.

For a bit of privacy or guests, there is a private garden annexe with a double bed and catering area on the lower ground floor which looks luxurious.

The location on the city's South Side is close to both the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings and The Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and the house sits in the catchment area of several well-regarded schools.

It is also within walking distance of the stunning Blackford Hill and Hermitage of Braid Nature Reserves, so potential buyers will have plenty of green outdoor space on their doorstep.

Marketed by estate agents Rettie, the company wrote: "Commanding stunning panoramic views of Edinburgh Castle, Salisbury Crags, and Arthur's Seat, this is a unique opportunity to acquire a six-bedroom family home situated on a peaceful residential road in the popular city neighbourhood of Blackford.

"Arranged over three levels, the deceptively large property has benefitted from several modern extensions including one that houses a self-contained en-suite garden annexe that could be used for rental accommodation, a work studio/office, or guest suite."
