Property highlight: Fantastic location beside The Meadows

Situated on the corner of Valleyfield Street and Leven Terrace, this is a substantial maindoor flat with a superb location just a stone's throw from Edinburgh's much loved Meadows. The property is peacefully located on a quiet, one way street, within a highly desirable residential area which is well-located for quick access to the city centre and nearby Edinburgh University.
