Ground Floor:

A traditional Georgian front door topped with an attractive fanlight opens into a large entrance vestibule decorated with ornate cornicework, a rose circle and original flagstones. There is an elegant decorative plaster archway that separates the vestibule with the central hallway that accesses all the ground floor accommodation.

Sitting Room: With high ceilings, this lovely light-filled sitting room features some wonderful period architectural features including cornicework, a rose circle, wood flooring and an impressive working fireplace with black marble surround and hearth. Two large sash windows with working shutters offer beautiful views across the pretty cobbled street at the front of the property. There is a serving hatch that connects the kitchen with the sitting room.

Dining-Kitchen: A large dining table takes central stage in the rustic-chic kitchen that features wood floorboards and offers pretty leafy garden views through a large sash window that has a charming window seat. The kitchen benefits from an electric Aga with extractor hood above, a separate electric oven and hob, a dishwasher and large ceramic sink. There is plenty of storage available in the wood-fronted cabinets and drawers and there is a built-in shelf in one corner.

Utility Cupboard: Adjacent to the kitchen is an inner corridor that has a utility cupboard which houses the washing machine and tumbler dryer and a WC room. There is back door access here to the rear garden.

A traditional stone staircase with cast iron balustrade and mahogany handle curves up to the first-floor landing which is bathed in natural light from the modern cupula above.

Principal Bedroom: With its grand classical design, this magnificent former formal drawing room is packed with period character featuring ornate cornicing, a decorative rose circle, impressive white marble fireplace and original wood flooring. With its high ceilings, the generously sized bedroom boasts three full height sash windows that offer delightful views across the cobbled street to the Georgian townhouses opposite. There is a walk-in dressing room offering plenty of storage options. This room could, subject to the necessary planning consents, be transformed into an en-suite bathroom.

SITUATION:

Danube Street is situated in Stockbridge, a hugely desirable residential area that sits next to the Water of Leith Walkway, an attractive riverside walkway that leads to Leith in one direction and the Modern Art Gallery and Haymarket Station in the other. 

Cosmopolitan Stockbridge has a bustling village atmosphere, specialist independent shops, delis, cafes, restaurants, bars and a weekly Sunday food market. It is also well served by several small convenience supermarkets whilst there is a Waitrose within walking distance and a M&S and Sainsbury’s in Craigleith Retail Park, just a short drive away.

Stockbridge borders Inverleith Park, where you’ll find community tennis courts and a children’s play park, and the world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens.

The property sits close to The Dean Gardens, a wonderful 7.2 acre-private communal garden that overlooks the Water of Leith and has a children’s play park. Residents can apply for membership. Also nearby is the members-only Dean Tennis Club and The Grange Cricket & Tennis Club.

The property sits within the school catchment area for the highly regarded Flora Stevenson’s Primary and Broughton High School. There are plenty of private schools in the locality including Fettes College, The Edinburgh Academy, Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools (ESMS), and St George’s School.

The property is situated just a short walk from Princes Street and George Street, the city’s main retail and entertainment thoroughfares, as well as some of the Scottish capital’s world-class museums, art galleries and historic attractions. It lies within easy reach of Haymarket and Waverley Stations the regular tram and bus services to Edinburgh International Airport, and Queensferry Road that links into the City Bypass, Central Scotland’s motorway network and the Queensferry Crossing to Fife.
