The property

An opportunity has arisen to acquire a delightful semi-detached Victorian villa (approximately 1883) located in one of Edinburgh's finest and most desirable residential areas of Morningside. Some 2½ miles from the historical and business city centre of Edinburgh, the house is convenient for local amenities with excellent shops and boutiques in Morningside and a Waitrose store and Marks and Spencer food store a short distance away. There are coffee houses, restaurants and bars within the area and the house is well situated for access to the Dominion Cinema, Church Hill Theatre and the Kings Theatre. This property situated in the leafy environment is also well placed for walks around nearby Hermitage of Braid and Braidburn Valley Park. Golf courses at Mortonhall and Merchant Golf Course are also convenient, along with Craiglockhart Sports and Tennis Club and Hillend Winter Sports Centre. The house is also well located for Warrender Swimming Baths and the Royal Commonwealth Pool.
