Just over a mile, takes you to Morningside, Marchmont and Bruntsfield, where there are restaurants, cafes, bars, supermarkets including M&S & Waitrose.

The city's by-pass is easily accessed leading on to the Motorway network, the Forth Bridge and Edinburgh Airport. The local schooling is highly regarded both Gillespies Primary & High schools serve the catchment. The University campuses on this side of the city are conveniently located, particularly Kings Buildings. Leisure pursuits are particularly well catered for too, with picturesque walks on Blackford & Braid Hills and The Meadows / Links. Tennis courts, golf courses etc are also plentiful. The area offers an extremely pleasant lifestyle; Edinburgh's city centre is a simple 1.5 mile commute. Completed around 1906, this is an imposing purpose-built MAIN DOOR UPPER VILLA with splendid well-proportioned rooms. The present owners have managed successfully to introduce contemporary features yet retain much of the character & charm of the period. The result is a fine family home that benefits from direct access to the south facing and secluded, rear gardens. Inside, the property benefits from gas central heating, extensive insulation, recently fitted kitchen & shower room. There are views over Blackford Hill and Arthurs Seat. A Planning Application to create an upper floor on the flat roof and loft space was granted (now lapsed).
