Adjoining the kitchen is a large and practical utility room with excellent storage and direct access to the enclosed garden - perfect for busy family life.

Internal access to the self-contained one-bedroom guest flat is conveniently provided via a door on the ground floor off the main hallway.

Mid-level floor
The mid-level floor features two generously proportioned double bedrooms, each offering elegant period charm. One of the bedrooms is particularly impressive, enhanced by a large bay window that floods the space with natural light and highlights its original Victorian detailing.

A beautifully appointed family bathroom completes this level, featuring a modern suite that blends seamlessly with the home's character. A large double-ended bath offers a luxurious focal point, complemented by a walk-in shower and high-quality fittings.

First Floor
The first floor of this impressive Victorian villa offers exceptional family accommodation, comprising three spacious double bedrooms, one of which benefits from a stylish ensuite. Each bedroom retains the property's original character, with generous proportions, high ceilings, and classic period features throughout.

A standout feature is the large second living room - an elegant and versatile space, ideal for relaxing or entertaining and open views to Arthur's Seat.

Living in Portobello
Nestled in the charming seaside suburb of Portobello, this exceptional home offers a rare blend of coastal living (beach within circa 10 minute walk) and urban convenience. Situated just three miles east of Edinburgh city centre, residents enjoy seamless transport links - ScotRail services whisk you from nearby Brunstane to Waverley Station in just eight minutes, while frequent Lothian Buses run every 10-15 minutes, reaching the heart of the city in around 20 minutes. Keen cyclists can reach the centre of town in circa 20 minutes via the Innocent cycle path. Within just a minute's walk of 33 Duddingston Park are local shops including a Co-op, takeaways and Post Office as well as hairdressers and a doctor's surgery.

Portobello is ideal for families, providing an impressive selection of schools. Portobello High School, rebuilt and reopened in October 2016, provides state of the art facilities, while Towerbank Primary School prides itself as Edinburgh's only “beach school,” located mere steps from the shore. Independent education is also within easy reach - prestigious institutions such as George Heriot's School, Fettes College, George Watson's College, St George's School, and Erskine Stewart's Melville are all accessible within a short commute.

The lifestyle of this area is unrivalled: a two mile stretch of golden sand and promenade provides an enviable backdrop for daily beach walks, water sports, or sunshine-filled family outings. Portobello High Street offers a range of independent cafés, gourmet eateries, charming boutiques, the historic Bellfield community centre, and Victorian Turkish baths-adding a distinctive character. Fort Kinnaird retail park and various supermarkets, including ASDA's 24/7 hypermarket are all within easy reach. Outdoor enthusiasts will relish regular community events such as beach volleyball tournaments and park runs at local Figgate Park, Portobello's annual Art Walk Festival on the promenade, plus scenic cycling routes linking Portobello to Leith, the Forth Bridge, and beyond.

In Portobello, residents enjoy the ideal balance of relaxed seaside charm and outstanding connectivity-excellent schools, vibrant community life, and effortless access to Edinburgh's cultural and commercial heart, all just minutes from the front door.
