26 Craigmillar Park, Edinburgh, EH16 5PS

Beautifully presented, Victorian, mid terrace townhouse, currently run as a Guest House with a fantastic location in the desirable Newington area of Edinburgh, close to excellent amenities, tourist attractions and transport links. There is a private garden to the front and a particularly attractive entrance vestibule, with an original tiled floor, stained glass windows and glass panels and opens into an elegant hallway, with cornicing, an eye-catching original balustrade which leads up to the second floor where a cupola floods the space with natural light. The guest rooms are located on the first and second floors and the owner’s accommodation is on the ground floor. This impressive period property is packed with stunning period features and would be a fantastic family home if preferred, subject to a change of use to residential. The guest rooms have all been recently decorated and the shower rooms fully renovated to a high standard, offering accommodation for fourteen guests, with seven bedrooms, each with a TV point, fibre Wi Fi, four with an ensuite shower room and one shared guest shower room. There is also a spacious well-equipped kitchen on the first floor for guest use.

The owner’s private accommodation is on the ground floor and comprises a grand lounge, with bay window, two Edinburgh Press’s, stunning cornicing and a marble fireplace. There is an open plan kitchen/dining/living room with a lowered ceiling with access to storage, striking, handmade, tulipwood units, slate tiling, feature shelving, mahogany worktops, breakfast bar, plenty of space for dining and seating and patio doors lead out to a charming private courtyard to enjoy warm weather. There are two double bedrooms, one with an ensuite and a further shower room, well equipped utility room, with direct access to the garages. The two recently built garages, one double and one single, offer electric doors, power (one is currently a workshop) and open onto the multi space driveway, accessed from Suffolk Road Lane.

Newington is an extremely desirable area in Edinburgh’s southside, popular amongst city dwellers and students alike due to the superb amenities on offer and the convenience of access to The Royal Mile, Edinburgh’s business sector and the central universities. The area is set against the backdrop of Arthur’s Seat, one of the City’s famous landmarks and also borders the green expanse of the Meadows. There is an extensive choice of shops available and plenty of fashionable bars, cafes and restaurants. Leisure and sporting opportunities are also in abundance. Regular bus services run to the city centre and across Edinburgh. There are well regarded schools, both in the public and private sectors.
