Ama Homes has sympathetically restored and converted the house into two substantial family homes: Tor House East and Tor House West.Repair and Prepare is an approach that ama take to all its period conversions.

The result, as can be seen today at Tor, are homes that respect and protect original features, are energy efficient and, most importantly, respond to how people want to live today.To allow the original features to shine, a lightness of touch was adopted for the interiors. A common colour palette runs throughout the house, and consistent flooring - Amtico woodeffect tiles in the formal public rooms, porcelain tiles in kitchen/diner and bathrooms, and pale grey carpets upstairs - ensure there is an effortless flow to the spaces. Fitted wardrobes provide ample storage in the bedrooms, while the bathrooms and en suites are beautifully detailed, offering just the righter of luxury.Overall, the exacting attention to detail in the modern additions perfectly echoes the work of the original craftsmen, creating homes where the old and the new coexist in perfect harmony.Ground FloorThe LobbyA superb wood-panelled entrance with fine carved details and an ornate leaded glass window above the inner doors.

A range of trees and shrubs have already been planted, but it awaits the new owner to put their stamp on the garden.History of Tor HouseIt is believed the house dates back to the early 1850s and was built for James Craig, one of the entrepreneurs behind the Craig & Rose paint company. Founded in 1829, the company was renowned for the quality of its products, gaining many prestigious contracts including developing the iconic red oxide paint for the Forth Bridge.By 1896, as evidenced by the monogram on the stained glass window which overlooks the stairs, the property was in the hands of a new owner, John Ainslie. He set about remodelling and extending the house, introducing many of the fine details still visible today.During the Second World War, Tor House was used by the RAF as headquarters for No 34 Balloon Command, coordinating the barrage balloon squadrons which played a vital role in defending key targets from German bombers. Following the war, the RAF converted the house into a convalescent home, which was continued by the Salvation Army through into the 1960s.In 1970 it was bought by the Lothian Baptist Housing Association and operated as the Tor Nursing Home. Over the subsequent decades, rooms were subdivided to make individual rooms with bathrooms, and extensions were added to increase the capacity. It is fortunate, however, that the main formal rooms were left largely untouched during this time, meaning we can still enjoy the finer details of John Ainslie?s grand remodelling scheme.
