Dalmeny, South Queensferry, Midlothian

A beautiful 8-bedroom country house only a short distance to Edinburgh city centre, with landscaped gardens, spacious interiors and a stunning contemporary kitchen extension.

Gospatric House is a fantastic family home in the pretty conservation village of Dalmeny and was originally the Manse to the adjacent St Cuthbert’s Church. More commonly referred to as ‘Dalmeny Kirk’, the church was built in the 12th century and is one of the oldest and most complete examples of a Norman church in Scotland. The original house however, dates from the early to mid-19th century and was substantially extended in 1870 by the prominent Edinburgh architect James Maitland Wardrop. Further extensions and upgrades have taken place in more recent years that have now created the ultimate family home - boasting character, charm, space and light, and all within close proximity to Edinburgh – a property that does not come to market very often!

Internally, the spacious accommodation is set over three floors and has been beautifully decorated. The well-appointed rooms showcase a wealth of period features to include fantastic sash and case bay windows with working shutters, intricate cornicing, ceiling roses and open fireplaces with traditional fire surrounds. The stylish contemporary kitchen extension created in 2019, has been sympathetically designed to blend seamlessly with the existing building – now creating a wonderful family space that undoubtedly formulates the heart of the home.

The lush, manicured gardens at Gospatric provide an established setting in keeping with the grandeur offered by the house itself. Principally enclosed by stone walls that are lined by tall, mature trees and shrubs, the garden feels incredibly secluded and private.

A garage lies adjacent to the drive benefitting from an electric door as well as an electric car charging port.
