Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
This period home is a great choice for those wanting a peaceful base from which to explore Edinburgh. Located in the leafy suburb of Eskbank, you’ll find a country park and riverside walks within strolling distance, yet you’re only a thirty-minute drive from the city centre. Or if you want to leave the car at home, just jump on a bus or train. The home itself has plenty to offer a family or group of friends. There’s a games room to keep the kids amused, a sun room to relax in, and a private garden for warmer days.
