This elegant Victorian townhouse is the quintessential Edinburgh property.
Situated on a leafy cul-de-sac called Bedford Place, it’s in the desirable West End of the Scottish capital, just a short walk from the city centre.
Split over three floors, the house offers sublime views over the Dean Valley (it’s actually located within the Dean Conservation Area), and inside gorgeous period features bring it to life: there’s intricate cornering, ceiling roses, lovely fireplaces, and huge bay windows complete with shutters, ideal for gazing out over the Edinburgh hills.
The spacious kitchen has recently been refitted and there are five double bedrooms, the master of which comes with a private bathroom and dressing room. There are also two reception rooms, utility room and two further bathrooms.
Families keen to live in a good Edinburgh catchment area will be pleased to learn of the excellent nearby schools – Stewart’s Melville, Mary Erskine and St George’s School For Girls to name but a few – and Fettes College and Edinburgh Academy are close too.
Avid walkers will love the path at the bottom of the road. The 12-mile trail follows the River Leith to Stockbridge, which is awash with bars, restaurants and shops.
Craving some culture? The Dean Gallery and Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art are just around the corner from the house, while sporty types can jog on over to the Edinburgh Sports Club and Drumsheugh Baths Club.
Unsurprisingly, a house of this sort doesn’t come cheap: the vendor has asked for offers over £925,000.
