Occupying a commanding position over the pastoral parkland of Pilrig Park, and of great historical and literary significance, Pilrig House is a Grade A-listed 17th century turreted Laird’s House, perfectly preserved and suspended in time. Uniquely placed just over a mile from the city centre, having been converted in 1985 into a six-apartment building, apartment 4 is the perfect sanctuary for the purchaser who requires all the benefits of city centre living whilst nestled in a stand-alone countryside setting. Due to its location, abundant wildlife and tree species surround Pilrig House, which was originally home to the family of the writer Robert Louis Stevenson. The current owners have created formally laid out gardens with the structure, symmetry and simplicity of rose beds, yew trees and lavender creating an enchanting backdrop to this important sandstone house

Pilrig House is situated just off Bonnington Road and accessed via Pilrig House Close. It is uniquely positioned overlooking Pilrig Park, which is a peaceful dog walkers’ park tucked away behind Leith Walk where, approximately one mile north of Edinburgh city centre there is an extensive range of shops, restaurants, cinemas and bars. The cosmopolitan Shore area nearby also offers a range of bars, bistros and Michelin-starred restaurants as well as shopping and cinemas at the Ocean Terminal complex. There is ample green space surrounding the area and access to the Water of Leith Walking and Cycle route. Close by are the picturesque harbours of Newhaven and Granton.
Pilrig is a popular residential area which boasts superb access to Edinburgh’s bus and tram networks, the City Bypass leading to Edinburgh International Airport and the Queensferry Crossing to Fife as well as the A1 south. The new tramline on Leith Walk due to complete summer 2021 will provide fast-track links to the city centre and the airport.
