Situation:
Learmonth Terrace is an impressive, category ‘B’ listed, Victorian sandstone terrace of townhouses situated within Edinburgh’s historic New Town, designed by the architect John Chesser in the late 19th century as part of the continued development of Edinburgh’s West End following the completion of the nearby Dean Bridge. Located in a highly desirable residential area, Learmonth Terrace is located just a short walk from both Edinburgh city centre’s business, financial and shopping districts and nearby Stockbridge, renowned for its village atmosphere, independent shops and cafes. The Gallery of Modern Art, Murrayfield stadium, the Royal Botanic Gardens, Inverleith Park, Drumsheugh Baths and the Dean Tennis & Squash Club are also within walking distance. There is a Waitrose nearby in Comely Bank, and the Craigleith Retail Park including a Sainsbury’s Supermarket, Marks & Spencer and a variety of high street shops is a five-minute drive away. Residents of Learmonth Terrace are eligible to apply for access to the delightful Dean Gardens (subject to application and payment of a modest annual fee) covering eight acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, play parks and scenic walks along the Water of Leith.
Several of Edinburgh’s finest schools are nearby including Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools, Fettes College, The Edinburgh Academy, St George’s School for Girls, Flora Stevenson’s Primary School and Broughton High School.
The city bypass, Edinburgh Airport and central Scotland’s motorway network are readily accessible with Queensferry Road providing a direct route westward out of the city. Haymarket station is within easy walking distance.
