Danube Street, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH4

Delightful Georgian townhouse in a highly sought after location

Description

14 Danube Street is a fine example of a Georgian terraced townhouse offering charming and flexible family accommodation on four principal floors. Many of the original period features have been retained while the house has been upgraded for modern day requirements. At ground floor level a welcoming stone flagged entrance hall leads to the sitting/dining room with marble mantelpiece and 2 windows to Danube Street. To the rear there is a wonderfully light dining kitchen with Aga and French windows opening to the stone patio and garden. There is also a utility room with WC on this floor.

An elegant stone stair crowned by a delightful cupola rises to the first floor off which lies the impressive drawing room with marble mantelpiece, two full height windows and a balcony overlooking Danube Street. Also set to the front is a study, which could also be used as a fifth bedroom. The spacious principal bedroom is set to the rear of the house and has a beautifully appointed en suite bath and shower room, which is also accessed from the landing. The stair continues to rise to the second floor where there are two charming bedrooms and a further family bathroom.

At lower ground floor level there is a further generous double bedroom, as well as a bathroom and a small, but well equipped, kitchen, meaning that this could be a self-contained flat with direct access from the front basement area. There is a stone flagged courtyard to the front with three dry-lined under pavement cellars.

To the rear there is a charming terraced west facing walled garden, with mature colourful planting. At the top terrace, there is a charming summer house.
