To the rear of the house, a woodland path leads to a footbridge across the Water of Leith and the village of Juniper Green and Colinton Village, where there are a range of shops and services, award winning restaurants and public houses. Excellent transport links to the City Centre are within walking distance and Edinburgh Airport in a short 15 minute drive.
