Situation:

As an integral part of Edinburgh’s New Town, both a UNESCO World Heritage site and one of Edinburgh’s most affluent and sought-after residential areas, Dean Terrace is a well proportioned and finely detailed example of early to mid nineteenth century urban classicism. Designed by prominent architect James Milne, the terrace formed part of the development of the land of Sir Henry Raeburn and occupies an important site overlooking the Water of Leith. Ideally positioned to benefit from Stockbridge’s bustling village atmosphere, specialist independent shops, restaurants, bars and artisan cafes, excellent local amenities and wonderful parks and walkways, the property is also within comfortable walking distance of Edinburgh’s City Centre. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Inverleith Park and the Water of Leith walkway are all within easy reach and membership can be applied for at the private Dean Gardens at the top of Dean Terrace and the Dean Tennis club on nearby Lennox Street.

Residents’ Permit and Pay & Display Parking is available on Dean Terrace and surrounding streets.

The property is within the catchment area for the highly regarded Stockbridge Primary and Broughton High School while private schooling is available locally at Fettes College, The Edinburgh Academy, Erskine Stewarts Melville Schools and St George’s School for Girls.

Travel links are close by at Waverley station and Edinburgh’s extensive bus and tram network offers efficient access to Edinburgh airport. The property is also within easy reach of the city’s extensive cycle network, the City Bypass and Central Scotland’s motorway network.
