5 bed detached house for sale

22 Moss Street, Elgin IV30

A Distinguished Georgian Family Home with Historical Significance

Welcome to this fabulous Georgian period residence, steeped in history and charm. Featured in Elgin's Past and Present, the property is reputed to have once hosted a willow tree grown from a slip of the very tree that overhung Napoleon Bonaparte’s tomb on St Helena—an evocative link to one of history’s most iconic figures.

Set over three elegant floors—lower ground, ground, and first—this home offers a harmonious balance of symmetry and proportion. A viewing is essential to fully appreciate the wealth of original features, complemented by tasteful, classic décor and modern contemporaneous upgrades.

Recent enhancements by the current owners include:-

A new Amtico herringbone kitchen floor with quartz worktops
Sanded and lacquered timber floors on the ground and lower ground levels
Farrow & Ball colour consultancy and painting throughout
New carpeting in key areas

Occupying an elevated position on Elgin’s desirable Moss Street, "Maida" enjoys a generous, south-facing garden that is both private and sheltered. The garden is beautifully framed by a hand-built dry stone dyke and accessed via electronic gates. Ample parking surrounds the double garage, and there is clear development potential at the lower end of the garden, adjacent to Institution Road.

This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Elgin’s heritage, thoughtfully updated for modern living.
