Former Edinburgh care home brought to market for offers over £2.25m

SAVILLS has been appointed by Viewpoint Housing Association to bring Lennox House to the Edinburgh market.

Set within the coastal suburb of Trinity in the north of the capital, it comprises a sandstone Georgian house with modern extensions and most recently operated as a 32-bedroom care home.

Savills said the original two-storey house retains a wealth of period features including intricate cornicing and period fireplaces, and boasts views over the Firth of Forth from the upper floors. In addition to the bedrooms, various communal spaces are spread throughout the property including lounge and dining hall, as well as offices, staff quarters and two lifts. It sits within a mature, stone walled garden.

The half-acre site is bounded to the north, east and west by prime residential properties and to the south by Trinity Bowling Club and Lomond Park Tennis Club.

Savills development agent Danielle Corker said, “Trinity is one of the capital’s most desirable and affluent neighbourhoods, particularly loved by families and downsizers.  Lennox House itself represents a really exciting real estate opportunity by virtue of its prime location and the flexibility of the accommodation.  It lends itself to various alternative uses, from the care or hospitality sectors, through to a range of residential options subject to appropriate consents.”

Offer over £2,250,000 are invited for Lennox House and a closing date has been set of Thursday 17th August at 12 noon.
