A unique opportunity to acquire a prominent detached Victorian villa situated in a prime beach-front location on Portobello promenade has arisen.
Presented by Rettie and Co, the property, which offers outstanding panoramic views of the Edinburgh skyline, East Lothian and the Firth of Forth towards the Peaks of Fife beyond, currently operates as a successful family run bar on the ground floor.
There is a spacious five bedroom double upper apartment above and offers excellent potential to create one substantial family home over three floors or to sub-divide the property into three spacious main-door apartments, each with secure off-street parking and two with private gardens (subject to necessary consent).
The property currently houses the award-winning family run Dalriada Bar on the ground floor with residential accommodation above.
Award-winning Lorn Macneal Architects have drawn up plans to sub-divide the property in order to create three spacious sea-view apartments, cleverly combining period features with cutting edge design: two ground floor apartments, each boasting a contemporary larch clad extension; private courtyard garden and off-street parking; and a third which occupies the first and second floors of the villa and offers wonderful period features, versatile accommodation and off-street parking.
Alternatively, should a buyer choose to restore the two dwellings into one home, this would create an impressive and substantial family abode.
