5 Bed Maisonette, Mansionhouse Road, EH9

This is a glorious first and second floor maisonette in a listed villa forming part of a traditional Victorian house situated on a quiet leafy road in the Grange conservation area of Edinburgh. This property is currently undergoing renovation and will be available unfurnished with an elegant colour palette, new carpets, curtains and light-fittings, from the end of January 2025.

The property is accessed via external steps to its own front door on the first floor and offers versatile and generously proportioned accommodation. Of particular note are the grand sitting and dining room/1st bedroom located on the lower floor with elegant period detail. The kitchen has fantastic view towards Arthur's seat. There are two further rooms facing Arthur's seat on this floor which provide flexible space and would serve equally well as bedrooms, spaces to work from home or as additional reception rooms. Both these rooms have working original shutters. Completing the accommodation on this floor is a bathroom with bath, overhead shower and underfloor heating.

Two further double bedrooms are on the second floor, the principal of which benefits from a spacious en suite shower room. There are also numerous large store cupboards lining the west side of the corridor. The views from this floor are exceptional, encompassing the full span of Arthur's Seat and the Crags, plus Berwick Law 26 miles away in East Lothian to the east and north across the Firth to the Ochils in the Central Belt on a clear day.

There is a shared gate and footpath to this property and the ground floor maisonette. There is ample on-street resident permit holders parking and a lockable external under stair cupboard is available for secure bike storage. The property falls within catchment of the sought-after state schools of Sciennes Primary School and James Gillespies High School which are within a 10 minute walk. George Heriot's and Watson's are within a 20 minute walk. Edinburgh University's King's Buildings and George Square are both a short walk away and the Royal Infirmary is served by a frequent bus service or a 20 minute cycle.

This property lies close to some beautiful landmarks of Edinburgh; adjacent to the Meadows and a walk to Arthur's Seat and Blackford Hill. Edinburgh Castle is visible from the road outside the gate. Marchmont provides a great range of cafes, small independent shops and restaurants with a Waitrose close by in Morningside. The property lies equidistant between the Royal Commonwealth Pool and the historic Warrender Baths.
