A truly stunning double room in a traditional Victorian villa, brimming with original period character. Soaring ceilings with ornate plasterwork cornicing, warm pine hardwood floors, a bold black cast-iron fireplace with decorative mantle, and an elegant antique chandelier — this is the kind of room that photographs don't fully do justice to.
The room is generously proportioned and very well lit, with a large sash window overlooking a leafy green garden — perfect for working from home or simply enjoying the view. It includes a dedicated study desk with chair, ideal for students and professionals, as well as good wardrobe and storage space. The striking striped wallpaper and mirror above the fireplace complete the refined, individual aesthetic.
The room comes with its own private external bathroom — no sharing with housemates. Central heating ensures comfort throughout the year. The property sits on a quiet, safe residential street in the sought-after Newington / Prestonfield area, with Edinburgh's Old Town just a pleasant 20-minute walk away and excellent bus links on the doorstep.
