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.
