Lying to the south of the city centre, Lygon Road is a quiet street that enjoys an enviable location in the heart of one of Edinburgh's most desirable residential areas. The area is characterised by fine stone-built houses and is popular with families due to the excellent local amenities, including doctor and dentist surgeries, banks, delicatessens and a selection of well-regarded restaurants. The city centre is only a short journey away by bus, car or
foot and offers an extensive range of cultural
activities as would be expected from Scotland's
capital. Cameron Toll shopping centre is within walking distance where a range of retail outlets can be found including a Sainsbury's supermarket. For the outdoor enthusiast, The Meadows, Holyrood Park, The Pentland Hills, and Hillend dry ski slope are all within a short distance, as are a variety of golf courses and Waverley Lawn Tennis & Squash Club. Also nearby is the Commonwealth swimming pool which has a children's play centre and a gymnasium. The property lies within easy
reach of the city bypass allowing quick access to Edinburgh airport and the central Scotland motorway network. Local schooling is excellent,
falling within the catchment area of Sciennes Primary and James Gillespie's High School. Many of Edinburgh's renowned private schools are also within easy reach, including George Watson's College, George Heriot's School and Merchiston Castle School. The Edinburgh University King's Buildings are also within walking distance.
