House For Sale £795,000
A wonderful Georgian semi-detached villa set over three floors, with a private south west-facing garden and generous driveway.
Location
Minto Street is located within the Blacket Conservation area within the much sought-after Newington district of the city, just over a mile south of the centre.
Leading architect of the time, James Gillespie Graham was commissioned to draw up plans for the new streets and created the grid of streets between Minto Street and Dalkeith Road with plans for semi-detached and detached properties all with their own gardens.
It is well served by supermarkets with a large Sainsbury's in the nearby Cameron Toll Shopping Centre, as well as a Sainsbury's Local and Tesco Express on Causewayside, a bustling street lined with independent retailers, antique stores, cafes and pubs. The lively areas of Morningside, Bruntsfield and Marchmont are also within easy reach.
Newington offers a superb range of sport, leisure and recreational activities with the Royal Commonwealth Pool and Leisure Club on the doorstep. Also in close proximity are several golf courses including Prestonfield Golf Club with the spectacular 640 acre Royal Holyrood Park behind. The setting gives the feeling of a peaceful haven on the edge of the city centre.
The Festival Theatre and Queen's Hall are close by as are the National Museum of Scotland and Edinburgh Castle.
Minto Street is also conveniently located for access to Edinburgh University campuses, Edinburgh Napier University and the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary and Royal Hospital for Sick Children. It is well-served by the city's efficient bus networks, the city bypass, Edinburgh International Airport and central Scotland's motorways.
There is excellent state school provision in the area, with private options including George Heriots, George Watson's College and Merchiston Castle School in close proximity.
