Description 10 School Brae is an attractive C Listed former grain mill, known as the Cockle Mill, constructed in the 18th Century of yellow sandstone walls. Arranged over ground and first floors, beneath a pitched slate roof, the property now comprises a residential dwelling with a café (housed within a single storey former garage). A small gated courtyard provides access to a well-appointed family kitchen with an Aga. This leads through to a study area and a large dining room (which is currently used as indoor seating for the café) with a log burner and BiFold doors, providing views across the River . The house has four ensuite bedrooms at first floor level, one of which gives access to the loft level, where there are two additional bedrooms with Velux windows. The house benefits from a wealth of period features, including exposed beams and brickwork, wooden floors and timer framed sash windows. A former garage at the eastern end of the building is currently used as a café. It has wooden double doors, which open onto the small sales and service area, whilst a fully fitted industrial kitchen lies to the rear.

Externally an area set to gravel in front of the property provides outdoor seating, in addition to a private walled courtyard, which lies to the north-east of the café. A further terraced garden, accessed via the first floor of the building, lies to the south and east. The total site area is approximately 0.073 hectares (0.181 acres). Location Located at the western end of School Brae, close to its junction with Caddell’s Row, the property is positioned overlooking the River Almond and the River Almond Walkway. The surrounding area is predominantly residential, with a mix of flats and houses. In addition to the Cramond Falls Café, Cramond benefits from a pub, a bistro and another café. A more extensive array of independent and national retailers, restaurants, cafes, bars and a supermarket are available in Barnton, which is a short drive away. The area is a popular place to live for those looking to move away from City Centre, but still within easy commuting distance. With its wide sandy beach providing access to , picturesque harbour and scenic River Almond Walkway, it is also an attractive destination for weekend escapes. Schooling is provided by Cargilfield Prep School, The Royal High School, St. George’s School for girls and Erskine Stewart’s Melville all nearby. Easy access to Edinburgh’s New Town, which is located 4.3 miles (6.9 km) to the east, is available via the Queensferry Road (A90) which is situated nearby, whilst the area is well served by local bus routes. Meanwhile Edinburgh Airport is located 5.1 miles (8.2 km) to the south west. Planning The property, which is currently used as a residential dwelling, with occasional B&B rooms, and the café have the benefit of a number of lapsed Planning Consents which may help set a precedent for alternative uses.

Planning Consent (14/03348/FUL) was granted on 10 November 2014 to change the use of the lower courtyard garden to form an extension to the existing café, including a new kitchen, indoor eating area and WCs, with a new pedestrian access. The plans also allow for the reconfiguration of the house as a separate dwelling, independent of the café.

Planning Consent (07/03026/LBC) was granted 4 September 2007 for the construction of a new five bedroom family house on the site of the current café and lower courtyard garden.

There is further potential to extend the existing house into the lower courtyard and use the café as a garage, subject to obtaining all necessary consents.
