Laid out over three floors, the house has flexible accommodation with a good balance of living space and well proportioned bedrooms.On entering the hall, there is an immediate sense of the scale of the house and the beautiful period features, with an elegant staircase as the focal point. The ground floor provides most of the living space with a family sitting room to the front and a more formal drawing room to the rear. Both spaces are bright and inviting, ideal for entertaining. Both have attractive fireplaces and working shutters. The drawing room is of particular note as it's a grand room with a beautiful bay window and a southerly outlook over the garden.

A utility room and WC complete this floor.The open plan kitchen/living room is on the garden level with double doors opening to the terrace. The kitchen features an Aga and ample storage while the sitting room allows the family to gather in one informal space, at the heart of the house.

Mayfield Terrace is an attractive street in the Newington area on Edinburgh's south side, a short distance from the bustling city centre. The property is situated in the peaceful and highly sought after Blacket Conservation Area. Originally a gated community, the streets were surrounded by high stone walls and guarded by lodge keepers housed in smaller gate houses. There are excellent local shops, bistros, and bars in the surrounding areas of Newington, Marchmont, Bruntsfield and Morningside. The Festival Theatre and the Queen's Hall are also within easy reach. The property is within 10 minutes' walk of Holyrood Park. In the park there are extensive panoramic walks, as Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags offer stunning views over the city to the sea. Local sporting facilities include several golf courses, as well as pleasant walks in the nearby Meadows and Blackford Hill. The property is also within easy reach of excellent local state and private schooling. The location offers swift access to the City Bypass, leading in turn to Edinburgh International Airport and many arterial roads throughout Scotland and to the south.
