That's a big kitchen/diner.

Looks lovely. Is it me or is there a lot of (comparatively) inexpensive large houses/estates coming up for sale in Scotland at the minute - is it the SNP effect? If I had that big lottery win the one thing that would put me off buying a big spread in Scotland would be the thought of President Sturgeon slapping a big wealth tax on anyone who doesn't drink Buckie, to make up for the disappointing oil revenues.

Really, really close to the M8 though.

How about somewhere a bit closer to the centre of Edinburgh.

The main photo is astonishingly bad compared to photos 2/3!

Been posted before, have you seen the huge attached 1970s office building on the the satellite photo that's conveniently hidden in the photos?

How to render a desirable property unsaleable in one easy step. Lord knows how they got planning for that.

Well, in reality it's really just a nice apartment. A small part of a very large house.

I actually like it for that. As a second home, means maintenance etc are taken care of centrally and will be well done. Not sure I'd like to take on the respobnsibility for a listed house on my own, frankly.

If this were closer to London e.g. in Norfolk, I'd be tempted.

Downstairs toilets are accessed through bedrooms?

It's amazing how wrong you can get it.

Years ago I was going out with someone whose family was very wealthy. They had a house there (one of many). As you say it's a funny sort of place. A few VIP/ambassador types, a few eccentrics who have lived there for decades, quite a few empty/derelict. No consistent architectural style or feeling of identity. I remember thinking that there was nothing that made the street into any kind of community. There was nothing that bound the residents together; according to my GF at the time most of them wouldn't even recognise each other.

Avenue Road and Bishop's Avenue just don't feel like nice roads to live on.

Almost by definition if you have a £25mil house you have at least two or three other houses and certainly people that live there don't walk anywhere. Avenue Road is a 10 min walk from the nearest shops which by London standards is a long way! But most of those houses will have live in staff so someone else would be doing the fetching. So yes people wouldn't know there neighbours. SJW is like that generally though....full of pretentious Eurotrash/Middle Eastern tts designer sunglasses, big handbags, Ralph Lauren and FFRR and Bentley GT's are the standard "look"...I know not everyone that drives those is a pretentious tt. I live next door in Primrose Hill....totally different area. No bling, everyone very understated and genuine sense of community.

There's another derelict house further up Avenue Road on the corner of Elsworthy Road....been empty for at least ten years. It's a weird road Avenue Road....has a few amabassadors, some ludicrously OTT houses (it had two 20,000 sq ft which a developer were trying to flog for $100mil a couple of years ago) and derelict houses.

Is that the house that permanently has a police minivan parked outside? I've always wondered why given its deserted, but I assume it's because of the local VIP population rather than that specific house.
