North Park Terrace, Edinburgh, EH4

Set in the heart of Stockbridge, North Park Terrace sits directly opposite the historic Raeburn Place. This elegant Victorian semi-detached home represents a rare opportunity to acquire a property of scale, character, and heritage in one of Edinburgh's most desirable neighbourhoods.

Arranged over three levels and extending to almost 3,000 sq. ft, the house enjoys far-reaching views of the city skyline. With its substantial west-facing walled garden and wealth of period features, it is a home of distinction that now offers an exciting opportunity for a new owner to update and reimagine its interiors.

The ground floor opens with a welcoming vestibule and hallway, leading to a spacious sitting room with a distinctive turret seating area that continues through the upper levels of the property. To the rear, a large kitchen and dining room looks out over the garden, while a utility room with loft space above and a WC complete this level.

On the first floor, the generous principal bedroom is accompanied by two further double bedrooms and a family bathroom. The second floor provides two additional bedrooms, a further bathroom, and a substantial games room with magnificent views across Edinburgh's skyline, perfect for flexible family living, entertaining, or home working.

To the rear, the house is enhanced by a substantial west-facing walled garden, framed by flower beds along the sides and complemented by a useful garden shed.

Numbers 14 and 15 North Park Terrace were the first houses constructed on the street, commissioned by Mayor Chesser, a noted rugby enthusiast. He chose this enviable position for its unrivalled vantage point over Raeburn Place, where he enjoyed watching matches before international rugby moved to Murrayfield. Today, stone emblems representing the original nations of the Grand Slam remain proudly displayed on the façades - an enduring reminder of the area's historic connection to the sport. Indeed, Raeburn Place was the stage for the world's first international rugby match.

While the property now requires modernisation, its generous proportions, rich heritage, and exceptional location combine to make this a truly unique opportunity. Rarely does such a house become available in Stockbridge, with its vibrant village atmosphere, independent shops, cafés, and effortless access to the city centre.
