We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
3 Rosslyn Crescent is a superb 5/6-bedroom semi-detached Victorian home, offering spacious and flexible family accommodation across three floors with a private garden and garage.
Upon entering, the property immediately feels bright and welcoming, with an entrance vestibule and hallway leading naturally through the ground floor accommodation.
To the front, the south-facing living room enjoys an abundance of natural light and a working wood burning stove, while a further versatile room - currently arranged as a gym - could equally function as a bedroom, dining room or children’s playroom.
To the rear, an impressive family room flows seamlessly into the kitchen/breakfast area, creating an ideal space for both everyday family life and entertaining.
A utility room and shower room complete the ground floor.
Upstairs, the first floor is centred around a stunning drawing room, currently used as an elegant reception space but equally well suited as a principal bedroom with its own en-suite shower room.
This floor also provides two further bedrooms, a family bathroom and a laundry cupboard.
The attic level adds two additional bedrooms, offering excellent flexibility for larger families, guests or those requiring dedicated home-working space.
Situated in a peaceful cul-de-sac with a shared open green space at the centre of the crescent, this substantial end-terrace period property enjoys a private garden, and a garage further enhances the practicality of the home.
The property also benefits from double glazing and gas central heating throughout.
The secure rear garden is accessed directly from the kitchen and provides an ideal outdoor space for entertaining and family life.
To the front, there is a generous south-facing garden, currently landscaped with plants and bushes, with excellent potential to create a sunny outdoor seating area.
Pilrig is ideally located just north-east of Edinburgh city centre and is exceptionally well served by local amenities.
Within walking distance are the Playhouse Theatre, John Lewis, the renowned Valvona & Crolla delicatessen, and the Omni Centre with its cinema, gym, bars, and restaurants.
Nearby Ocean Terminal also offers excellent shopping and leisure facilities.
Pilrig Park provides green space for recreation, while regular bus and tram services along nearby Leith Walk offer convenient access across the city.
Waverley Station, St Andrew Square bus station, and major road links are all easily accessible.
The property occupies a particularly desirable position at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac just off Pilrig Street, known for its welcoming neighbourhood atmosphere and strong sense of community, with regular local events and gatherings throughout the year.
A short walk south brings you to vibrant Leith Walk, home to an excellent selection of independent cafés, bars, restaurants, and local businesses.
