About This Property

15 Mayville Gardens is a charming, stone-built, two-storey Victorian end-terraced family home with a private garden. The property is set within a peaceful cul-de-sac in the highly desirable Trinity district of Edinburgh. Beautifully presented throughout, the property offers bright, spacious and thoughtfully arranged accommodation over the ground and first floor, ideally suited to modern family living while retaining a wealth of period character.

The house is entered via an entrance vestibule leading into a welcoming hallway. To the front, a generously proportioned living room features an attractive bay window that fills the space with natural light, alongside a fireplace that provides a warm focal point. The ground floor further comprises a dining room or playroom, a contemporary and well-equipped kitchen with ample space for everyday use, and a convenient utility room located just off the kitchen. From here, there is direct access to the private rear garden, which has been designed for ease of maintenance and offers a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation and entertaining. A modern shower room completes the accommodation on this level.

On the first floor, the principal bedroom is particularly spacious and positioned to the front of the property. To the rear, two further double bedrooms enjoy open aspects over the garden and benefit from excellent natural light. A fourth single bedroom is located to the front and could serve well as a study or home office. The upper floor is served by a well-appointed family bathroom, and additional storage is provided by a cupboard off the landing. A large skylight above ensures that the upper level is bright throughout.

The property retains a number of attractive period features and benefits from gas central heating, good internal storage, and easily maintained outdoor areas, including a neat front garden and rear garden with professionally-installed artificial grass. Unrestricted on-street parking is also available within the cul-de-sac. The property is Category B listed and located within the Trinity Conservation Area. Mayville Gardens was designed by the renowned Scottish architect Hippolyte Blanc, who is also responsible for many of Edinburgh’s ornate churches.

Mayville Gardens enjoys a prime position just off Laverockbank Road, approximately two miles north-east of Edinburgh’s city centre. Trinity is a well-established and sought-after residential area, popular with families and professionals alike due to its excellent local amenities and strong sense of community.

The area is particularly well served by schooling at all levels, including highly-regarded local nurseries, primary and secondary schools, as well as a number of prestigious private schools within easy reach, such as The Edinburgh Academy, Stewart’s Melville College, Mary Erskine School, St George’s School, and Fettes College.

Newhaven Harbour is also close by, home to a David Lloyd health club and a selection of additional dining options. Everyday shopping is conveniently available within walking distance in Trinity and Goldenacre, while the nearby Shore area of Leith boasts a renowned mix of cafés, bars and restaurants, ranging from relaxed bistros to Michelin-starred establishments.
