Mayville Gardens, Trinity, Edinburgh, EH5

Charming two storey stone built Victorian family home with gardens and garage

Description

Mayville Gardens is a charming stone built Victorian family home offering bright, spacious and well presented accommodation set over ground and first floors. The house is B listed and was designed by renowned Scottish architect Hippolyte Blanc who was also responsible for many of Edinburgh’s ornate churches. The house caters well for modern living, yet retains much of its original charm with a range of delightful period features. With predominantly south facing aspects there is plenty of natural light during the day, making this a delightful and comfortable home.

The house is entered via an entrance vestibule leading to the hall, from where the principal living space is accessed and the charming stair rises to the first floor. To the front of the house is the bay windowed sitting room with a southerly aspect, a working fire and delicate cornicing. The dining room is situated to the rear and is open to the well appointed kitchen which has an Aga, with the utility room off and leading to the garden. Also on this level is the family bathroom.

On the upper floor, the master bedroom sits to the front and benefits from plenty of light, while there are 3 further comfortable bedrooms and a recently modernised shower room.

Externally, the house is set back from the quiet cul-de-sac by a gated path and easily maintained front garden, while to the rear there is a further garden with astroturf. In addition, and unusually, there is a single garage situated on Laverockbank Grove, which provides excellent storage
