There are also theatres, cinemas, restaurants, pubs and local shops on the doorstep, so the propostion offers a sizeable house and outside space, right in the heart of Edinburgh.
It has been the family home of Sandra and Neil Richardson for the last decade. She recalls: “We moved in 2013, almost exactly ten years ago. Our children were seven and nine years old at the time, so we were looking for a house with a garden and a bit more space.
“And this house fitted exactly – lots of beautiful space in a great location.”

Of the interior, Sandra says: “It did need a degree of upgrading and redecoration but you could see the potential. In terms of renovation, we kept it cosmetic, with a new kitchen, and we replaced the existing bathrooms and added a shower room on the top floor.” Photo: Ines Gennuso

The Richardsons have redecorated throughout, in a gradual process. She explains: “It is quite large and we didn’t have a great vision at first.
“The house has all the amazing original features and we wanted those to stand out, but we didn’t want to be too neutral.
“By taking our time, we could really think about where to add colour and pattern to give the maximum impact.” Photo: contributed

The location has been a boon to the family. Sandra explains: “We work in investment management, Neil is based in the city centre so he managed to commute on foot, and I work at Edinburgh Park, which is really easy to access by tram. And it is great for getting to the airport.” Photo: Ines Gennuso
