Edinburgh, a city known for its rich history and architectural splendor, is witnessing a remarkable transformation. A prominent property developer has embarked on a visionary project to convert a number of old hospital buildings into large luxury homes. Among these developments, a magnificent Victorian villa stands out, nestled in the heart of Edinburgh’s exclusive Grange area.
A Tranquil Oasis
Situated just south of Edinburgh city centre, this Victorian villa offers big skies and commanding views in an unimaginably tranquil location. The Hermitage of Braid local nature reserve is almost on the doorstep, providing vast open green spaces for residents to enjoy. Privacy is assured with high walls, large lawns, and mature trees surrounding the property. This villa, positioned on a leafy cobbled street, exemplifies the elegance and tranquility of the Grange area.

Innovation Meets Tradition
To ensure these luxury homes offer the highest standards of modern comfort, the developer has integrated the HORSTAD clip rail underfloor heating system with an aluminium core pipe. This state-of-the-art heating solution combines innovation with efficiency, making it an ideal choice for such a prestigious conversion project.
The HORSTAD Clip Rail System
The HORSTAD system involves attaching underfloor heating pipework to insulation, which is then covered with a semi-dry sand and cement screed mix. This screed acts as a thermal mass, absorbing heat from the pipes and gently releasing it into the living spaces above. The use of an aluminium core pipe is particularly beneficial, ensuring rapid and efficient heat distribution. Floors warm up quickly, providing a cozy atmosphere with minimal energy consumption.
A Perfect Blend of Past and Future
This project is a perfect example of how historical buildings can be adapted to meet contemporary needs without losing their original charm. The Victorian villa in the Grange area not only retains its historical significance but also incorporates cutting-edge technology to enhance the living experience. The integration of HORSTAD’s underfloor heating system ensures that residents will enjoy a comfortable and energy-efficient home, perfectly suited to modern lifestyles.
As these old hospital buildings are transformed into luxurious homes, the combination of historical elegance and modern convenience creates a unique living experience. With the HORSTAD clip rail system, residents can enjoy the best of both worlds: the grandeur of a bygone era and the comfort of contemporary living.
