General overview

A wing of a secluded Victorian Mansion at the end of a gated private driveway. Set in wooded grounds with sea views our beautiful home is filled with character. A ten minute drive from the city centre we are also convenient for access to the countryside and less than half an hour from Edinburgh airport.

The space

An elegantly proportioned historic property which has been sensitively restored for modern living. A particular feature is the contemporary architect designed kitchen/family room extension with Aga range cooker. The generous living space also boasts three reception rooms including a grand drawing room, cosy family sitting room and spacious home office. A ground floor double bedroom is served by a shower room and the remaining first floor bedrooms use two spacious bathrooms, each with shower. All the bathrooms have underfloor heating. With numerous original features the house is decorated with an eclectic collection of contemporary and traditional original artwork, family portraits and antique furniture. The terraced garden is a peaceful haven for plant and wildlife. With its sweeping lawns, numerous mature trees and shrubs as well as sea views, it is hard to believe you are in a capital city, and not the Scottish countryside.

Guest access

Ground and first floor with two steps up to the front door.

Neighbourhood

Our house is located in Trinity, a charming neighbourhood comprising large Victorian family houses in generous grounds. We are just two miles north of Edinburgh City Centre and with views over the Firth of Forth towards Fife. Close to trendy Stockbridge and Leith there is a huge choice of cafes, restaurants and specialist shops within easy reach. We are a short bus ride or half hour brisk walk to the City Centre where you will find tourist attractions and major retail brands. There is a choice of supermarkets within a short drive. Around the corner is Lomond Park and close by you will find the open spaces of Inverleith Park, Victoria Park and The Royal Botanic Garden. The Edinburgh Cycle Path Network is accessed from the bottom of our road and borders the property. Edinburgh has a whole host of tourist and cultural attractions. The rich variety of ancient architecture makes this City a wonder to visit. Edinburgh Castle and Holyrood Palace are amongst the most popular along with numerous museums, galleries and theatres. For the more adventurous the mountains and lochs of the Scottish Highlands, the beautiful coastline of neighbouring East Lothian and the gently rolling hills of The Scottish Borders are easily accessible.
