A charming , two bedroom 'A' listed gatehouse adjoining the grounds of Restalrig Parish Church to the east of Edinburgh's city centre. Restalrig Village is a Conservation Area with several historically significant buildings. Fully restored in the late 1990's by the National Trust as part of the 'Little Houses Improvement Scheme', the property is full of character and period features such as sash and case windows, working shutters and period fire places and further benefits from a small garden area to the side. The property is unique given its proximity to the site of the ancient St Margaret's Church with its shrine to St Triduana, now in the care of Historic Scotland. It will make a great home or second home for its new owner.
