A historic home in Balerno is up for sale for the first time in 50 years.

The detached stone-built Curriehill House, 4 Newmills Avenue, Balerno, EH14 5SZ, has a history dating back almost 700 years and it has a unique position within Scotland’s baronial and social history.

There is around half an acre of private garden and extensive views, and inside many original period features, including original mouldings on doors, and intricate cornice work, have been retained. Despite its peaceful and private setting, the property is within easy reach of Edinburgh, offering a rare blend of heritage, seclusion, and accessibility.

The property has four bedrooms, three bathrooms and two public rooms and is offered in well maintained condition.

The property has had its own royal connections over several centuries, with links to the events surrounding the murder of David Rizzio, the private secretary to Mary, Queen of Scots at The Palace of Holyrood House.

High-resolution images, full historical notes, and additional commentary are available on request. Interviews, viewings, and further detail can also be arranged. A few photographs attached.
