3 Hillview is a spacious family home in the sought-after Blackhall area of Edinburgh — see the location on a map.
The house is within walking distance of Blackhall Primary School in the state sector and Stewart's Melville College and the Mary Erskine School in the independent sector. The house has been a B&B in the past, and retains several useful features from this time, such as the en suite bathrooms and showerrooms in the two back bedrooms. However, the house has been used as a family home since 1999.
The entrance hall is a masterpiece of Victorian design: stained-glass windows, tiled floor and original cornices:
On the ground floor we have the sitting room, which contains a bay window, an original slate fireplace and a corniced ceiling. There is a stripped wooden floor and a cable-television point (service not currently connected):
The kitchen was installed in 2003 and features solid granite work surfaces, solid wood kitchen units, a Baumatic gas-fired range and a Baumatic integrated dishwasher. There is a stripped wooden floor and a solid-wood breakfast bar:
The downstairs bathroom was a recent installation and features a bulb-ended bathtub for relaxation:
The dining room features another slate fireplace, stripped wooden floor and more cornicing:
The house is light and airy thanks to the decorative cupola, which illuminates the stairway with original balustrade, anaglypta and more cornice-work:
The master bedroom has a bay window, original cornices and two rececessed niches with their own decorative cornice work. The master bedroom also features stripped wooden floors and a working fireplace with wooden mantelpiece. There are working antenna and satellite points in this room.
One of the en suite double bedrooms:
The walled garden is secluded and child-secure: the only way in is through the house or through the single garage. The garden is designed to require the minimum of maintainance, and the summerhouse is situated to catch the last rays of the day's sun:
The fireplaces all work, although removable caps sit on all chimneys as the current owners just use the gas-fired central heating.
The house is double-glazed throughout.
Not shown: the other en suite double bedroom, a child's bedroom, the utility room and the home office.
