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
A home with a history. Long before Edinburgh reached this corner of Liberton, Tower Mains was a working farm surrounded by open countryside.
The early 19th-century farmhouse stood at the heart of the estate, with generations of farmers calling it home.
Today, much of that rural setting remains, giving 18A Liberton Brae a wonderfully peaceful feel that is increasingly rare within the city.
Set within the historic Tower Mains Farmhouse, this beautifully presented one-bedroom home brings together the character of its past with the ease of modern living.
Original features and a sense of history sit comfortably alongside a thoughtfully designed interior, including a generous sitting room, open-plan kitchen and dining room, double bedroom and a versatile nursery/study.
Outside, a private drive leads to the house, while the south-facing outdoor space enjoys the surrounding fields as a wonderfully quiet backdrop.
There is a genuine feeling of space and separation here, despite being within Edinburgh. Practicality has not been overlooked either.
Excellent attic storage provides valuable additional space, while the flexible second room could work equally well as a nursery, home office or occasional guest space.
18A is more than a beautifully converted period home. It is a small piece of Edinburgh's past. A home with a story, a sense of place and a setting that is wonderfully its own.
EPC Rating: C Location Liberton Brae offers an unusually peaceful setting within Edinburgh, surrounded by open fields and a sense of countryside that belies its proximity to the city.
