Location

Inverleith Gardens is well positioned within a prime residential district about one mile north of Princes Street.

The property is a four minute walk from local shops in Goldenacre, and around a ten minute drive to the centre of Edinburgh.

Stockbridge is within a twenty-five minute walk, providing a range of independent shops, delicatessens, bars and restaurants as well as a choice of supermarkets, including Waitrose.

Craigleith retail park is also a short seven minute drive away and provides a wide selection of shops including a Marks and Spencer and Sainsburys supermarket.

This is a particularly leafy part of the city with the delightful Royal Botanic Garden and Inverleith Park, both within a ten minute walk from the property.

The Edinburgh Academy, Fettes College, St George's and Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools and playing fields are all on this side of the town, and there is a direct bus route to George Heriot's, whose playing fields at Goldenacre are very close by. Waverley and Haymarket railway stations, the tram route and the financial district are all within easy reach.

There is convenient road access westwards towards the city bypass, the central Scotland motorway network and Edinburgh Airport.

Description

Located in the highly desirable residential area of Inverleith in north Edinburgh, this terraced house combines period charm with exceptional outdoor space and truly outstanding views across the Edinburgh skyline, taking in the Castle, Arthur's Seat and beyond.

The property, which would now benefit from modernisation, is set back from the road, approached via its own front garden and gated pathway. Entry is through a welcoming vestibule which leads to the central hallway. To the front, the bay-windowed living room enjoys an open aspect over the front garden and features a striking fireplace and fine period detailing. To the rear, the dining room flows into the kitchen, which in turn provides direct access to the impressive south-facing garden. Many neighbouring homes have extended this space to create contemporary open-plan living, offering exciting potential.

A generously sized WC and useful under-stair cupboard complete the ground floor accommodation.

The first floor is centred around a spacious landing. To the front lies the impressive principal bedroom, stretching the full width of the house and once serving as the original drawing room. A further large double bedroom and family bathroom are located to the rear.

The top floor, naturally lit by an overhead cupola, offers three additional double bedrooms and a shower room, making it ideal for families or those requiring versatile space.

Externally, the south-facing rear garden is a particular highlight: private, enclosed and beautifully maintained, with a gate at the foot leading to a pathway and on to the garage, which is fully powered.

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a family home in the heart of Inverleith with an enviable outlook and scope to tailor the interiors to modern living.
