Steeped in Edinburgh heritage, this five-bedroom Victorian townhouse on Bonnington Terrace blends original period detail with modern efficiencies. High ceilings, decorative cornicing, working shutters, original fireplaces and a grand stone staircase create an elegant, character-filled home with generous living spaces and flexible bedroom arrangements.
Upstairs rooms offer city outlooks including views toward Edinburgh Castle and Calton Hill, with the Firth of Forth and Newhaven harbour a short walk away. The well-appointed kitchen opens to a dining area; the fifth bedroom is currently used as a second living room. A private, mature rear garden and patio provide a peaceful outdoor retreat, and a rare private garage gives direct access to nearby cycle and walking routes.
Practical advantages include fitted solar panels to reduce running costs, excellent mobile and fast broadband, and an overall size of 2,474 sq ft across multiple storeys. Notable constraints are the property’s EPC rating of D, only two bathrooms for five double bedrooms, and a council tax described as quite expensive. The wider area is classified as very deprived despite a local demographic of highly qualified professionals.
This house will suit buyers seeking a large, characterful family home with cultural provenance and modern energy features, and those prepared to manage the practicalities of a historic property in a mixed socio-economic neighbourhood. Tenure is currently unknown; interested buyers should confirm tenure and running costs early in their enquiries.
