Drumearn is Edwardian, completed in 1903 by the architectural firm Sydney Mitchell and Wilson and it displays many of the design details of the era, such as the overhanging eaves and tall chimneys. It was commissioned by the Reverend Arthur Gordon and his wife Olga.  Arthur came from an illustrious Scottish family. His father, Baron Gordon of Drumearn, was a law lord whose portrait  – a very unflattering likeness – is in a collection belonging to National Galleries Scotland. His title presumably inspired the name of the house.Drumearn is Edwardian, completed in 1903 by the architectural firm Sydney Mitchell and Wilson and it displays many of the design details of the era, such as the overhanging eaves and tall chimneys.

Drumearn, at 16 Hermitage Drive, is described as one of the finest houses in Edinburgh.

The price that the property commands is certainly towards the upper end of sales in the capital.

The house is very impressive, combining space with privacy, history, location and a lovely garden. It really could be said to tick all the boxes for a large family home … if you have the funds.

The more traditional part of the house has a family room and sitting room, and a vast study with two bay windows overlooking the garden.  A handy downstairs bedroom suite - along with a wine cellar, laundry room, pantry and boot room - means the house is very well set up for all aspects of family life.
