Location
Shandwick Place, situated to the west of the historic New Town and in the heart of Edinburgh’s stylish West End, provides both city centre convenience as well as access to fantastic nature in the nearby Dean Gardens and down to the Water of Leith below.
The property lies within easy walking distance of the City Centre’s business, shopping and financial districts as well as the West End’s boutiques and bars. Stockbridge with its village atmosphere, previously voted in the Sunday Times as one of the most desirable areas to live in the UK, is just a short walk away, providing a plethora of artisan cafes, shops and restaurants as well as a Sunday food market more reminiscent of the South of France than Edinburgh.
There are several recreational facilities close by including Drumsheugh Swimming Baths, the Edinburgh Sports Club and Dean Tennis Club while the Usher Hall, Lyceum and Traverse Theatres as well as Edinburgh’s acclaimed modern art galleries are just a few minutes’ walk.
The property is within easy walking distance of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Inverleith Park and the Water of Leith walkway which connects directly with the city’s extensive off-road path network, providing scenic walks and cycling routes to South Queensferry, Newhaven Harbour and the Pentland Hills.
The area is well served by many supermarkets (Waitrose and Sainsbury) within walking distance as well as the Craigleith Retail Park which is a short drive away. There are also a wide range of good schools (both state and private) including Flora Stevenson Primary School and Broughton High School as well as The Edinburgh Academy, Mary Erskine/Stewarts Melville Schools, Fettes College and St George’s School for Girls.
Shandwick Place has zoned parking within easy reach and proximity to the city’s bus and trams, Haymarket and Waverley stations as well as convenient access to the City Bypass, A1, M8 and M9 and Edinburgh International Airport.
