Steeped in literary history, this remarkable home has been graced by the ownership of notable writers and creatives over the years, giving the property a unique and cultured soul. Today, it stands as a beautifully preserved slice of Edinburgh heritage, rich with original features and thoughtfully enhanced for modern life. Views of Edinburgh Castle and Calton Hill from upstairs; the Firth of Forth and picturesque Newhaven Harbour with its bars and restaurants just five minutes walk. From the moment you step through the front door, the authentic period details are unmistakable - intricate cornicing, working shutters, high ceilings, wood stoves and original fireplaces, and a grand stone staircase. Each room tells a story, with an atmosphere that’s warm, elegant, and full of character. At its heart, the home offers five spacious bedrooms, a generous living area filled with natural light, and a well-appointed kitchen that opens into a charming dining space - ideal for everyday living and entertaining alike. The fifth bedroom is currently being utilised as a second living space. Outdoors, the property continues to impress, with a mature private rear garden and a patio offering a peaceful haven, perfect for summer afternoons or a morning coffee. There is also the rare benefit of a private garage, exiting just a few yards from the Water of Leith path and cycle routes around the city. In a nod to its forward-thinking present, the home is fitted with solar panels, boosting energy efficiency and reducing running costs without compromising the integrity of its historic design.
