One-of-a-kind Georgian villa perfect for family living hits the market in Musselburgh

18 Linkfield Road, built in 1834, oozes character and style with its subtle blend of modern and Georgian features.

The property’s gardens are both charming and immense, with two lawn areas – divided by a secret-garden-style climbing rose archway – and a generously proportioned patio space.

With its pale sand stone build and its intricate cornice work, 18 Linkfield Road represents everything that was great about the Georgian era.

The semi-detached Georgian house is on the market with Warners Solicitors and Estate Agents for offers over £550,000.

Shonagh Davidson, the current owner of 18 Linkfield Road, said: “The house is just perfectly situated, with stunning settings ideal for Sunday walks - like Gullane beach and lagoons bird watching site - just a stone’s throw away.

“Not many are lucky enough to have such easy access to both the city centre and the countryside.

“We love to spend our time in the garden on the weekend. It has its own microclimate thanks to the stone walls that shelter and surround it – you could just about trick yourself you were in Spain if it wasn’t for our typical Scottish, greener than green lawn.

“The garden is just glorious, with its mature shrubs, as well as pear and apples trees, a Rowan tree and Japanese Acer.

“There’s something rather fulfilling about walking up in the morning and having fruit that you’ve picked from your garden for breakfast.”
