Detached houses in Edinburgh range from traditional stone villas and cottages to 20th-century suburban houses and contemporary new-build homes.
Because the building is freestanding, detached properties can sometimes provide greater flexibility for extensions and external alterations than more densely connected property types, although planning, building standards, structural and site constraints can still apply.
Common projects include complete renovations, kitchen extensions, loft conversions, garage conversions, structural alterations and internal layout changes.
