Our Property of the Month is 7 Castle Gogar Rigg, a striking architect-designed villa hidden within a historic gated estate.
Each month, we spotlight a home that truly stands out, and 7 Castle Gogar Rigg is certainly a striking modern residence. At Cullerton’s, we often see beautiful period homes, but it is rare to find a contemporary, architect-designed masterpiece that balances such modernist aesthetics with the warmth of a family home.
Tucked away within a private, gated community on the historic Castle Gogar estate, the approach sets the tone. You arrive via a tree-lined drive that meanders through woodland and crosses a charming stone bridge, instantly transporting you from the bustle of the city to a secluded sanctuary.
The ground floor is an entertainer’s dream. The sophisticated living room features a cosy inset log burner and flows effortlessly into a dual aspect sitting / cinema room, a cosy retreat perfect for family movie nights.
At the heart of the home lies the high-specification kitchen, distinct in its sleek monochrome design with an 8 seater central breakfast island. This culinary hub connects naturally to a generous dining room and, uniquely, a versatile games room complete with its own bar and a double-sided log burner.
Four generous bedrooms are set across the upstairs plan. The principal suite is architecturally stunning, set within the home’s statement cylindrical turret. It is a true private sanctuary featuring soft carpeting, curved glazing, a dressing snug, a walk-in wardrobe, and a four-piece en-suite bathroom.
Beyond the principal suite, the first floor is designed to offer family members and guests their own sense of independence and luxury. Bedroom two is a particular highlight, serving as a secondary suite ideal for older children or guests. It benefits from its own en-suite shower room and exclusive access to a private, southwest-facing terrace, a blissful spot for a quiet morning coffee.
This is a home that encourages outdoor living as much as indoor comfort. From the private southwest-facing terrace off the second bedroom to the first-floor balcony and the extensive manicured lawns, every corner offers a space to relax
Despite its idyllic, semi-rural feel, 7 Castle Gogar Rigg is exceptionally connected. You are just minutes from the airport and the city bypass, offering the ultimate balance of privacy and convenience.
This 4,000 sq ft modernist masterpiece, featuring a cinema room, a games room with a private bar, and a stunning principal suite housed in a unique cylindrical turret is our December favourite.
