Situated in the highly desirable Stockbridge area, within easy reach of Edinburgh’s shopping and business districts, this property is perfectly located for central but peaceful living.
Renowned for their period charm, the Stockbridge Colonies are attractive rows of stone terraced houses built by a stonemasons’ cooperative in the latter part of the 19th century.
Stockbridge itself has a bustling village atmosphere, with a wonderful selection of specialist independent shops, cafes, restaurants and a weekly Sunday food market.
Just a minutes’ walk from the property is Glenogle Swim Centre, a beautiful restored Victorian pool with a gym and fitness studios, and walking East along the colonies, you will come to Canonmills, another vibrant little area with cafes, restaurants, an M&S Food, petrol station, and a Tesco Supermarket.
The property lies within walking distance of Inverleith Park, a vast area of green space with a duck pond, playpark, community tennis courts, and the adjacent Royal Botanic Gardens.
The city centre is walkable within ten minutes, which is perfect for commuters due to the property’s close proximity to Waverley Train station, St Andrews Square Bus Station and the Tram, which connects directly to Edinburgh International Airport in approximately 30 minutes.
