Location

The modern phrase of “location. Location, location” would aptly describe the setting of the north end of Blackford Avenue. There are nearby “corner shops” (3 minute walk), a choice of bus routes pass from outside the property or a few minutes’ walk. Just over a mile, there are restaurants, cafes, bars and supermakets including M&S & Waitrose., There are additional supermarket and multi-national outlets in nearby Morningside, Bruntsfield, Newington and the Cameron Toll shopping complex is only a mile to the east. 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 some lovely, picturesque walks along the Braidburn or indeed both Blackford & Braid Hills; 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.

The Property

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 southfacing and secluded, rear gardens. Inside the property benefits from gas central heating, recently fitted kitchen & shower room. A Planning Application to create an upper floor on the flat roof and loft space was granted (now lapsed).
