Enchanting Georgian house, close to beach and city

Our beautiful, restored, 220-year old Georgian family house is in the popular Portobello area just 20 minutes from the city centre by bus and 100 metres walk to a sandy beach and Promenade. The house has very large, airy, rooms and lots of artworks and period charm.

There is a pub and two nice cafes at the end of our street, on the prom, and many other restaurants, cafes and take-aways nearby.

1 minute walk to friendly local shops and excellent bus connection every 10 minutes to Edinburgh city centre.

Facilities include:

- Huge master bedroom with king size bed, three other bedrooms each with a double bed. The downstairs bedroom also has a double sofa bed (so we can sleep 10 at a squeeze).

- Bedlinen is all !00% cotton or linen: no synthetics. Duvets and pillows are feather/down filled, not polyester.

- Three immaculate bathrooms, two with showers, one with a bath.

- A large kitchen, equipped with an oven, a gas hob and a dishwasher and large dining table.

- Gas central heating which is on a timer/thermostat usually from October to April. Outside those times there are two electric radiators that can be used if it feels cold.

- Spacious living room with TV and Amazon Prime, BBC iplayer etc. Fast wireless broadband internet.

- Private, secluded and walled rear garden with table and chairs.

- Quiet despite its very central location. We keep it tidy and very clean: It is comfortable and decorated with eclectic style.

Considerations:
1. Please note our house is NOT suitable for small children/toddlers. Babies and older children are welcome.
2. Smoking is not allowed anywhere inside or outside the house.
3. The house is very clean and tidy but if you are looking for 'show home' luxury, this is not the place for you.

About the location

Portobello is a very lively neighbourhood, a short bus ride from the city centre. There's always lots to see down at the beach and great people-watching.
Portobello has an abundance of local shops, cafes, and takeaways. The Victorian swimming pool 5 minutes walk away has a 25m pool and a Turkish Bath. There's also a small sauna on the Prom that can be booked year round, including for exclusive use.

Edinburgh has many festivals including the world-famous Edinburgh International Festival in August. Other busy times of year are Christmas/New Year when there is a 'winter festival' with fireworks and concerts. The city is historic and there are so many places to visit: too many to list!

Beyond Edinburgh beautiful countryside, historic houses and beaches are all within 30 minutes' drive. Some of the places can be reached by bus or train also.
The lochs and forests and castles of the Central Highlands are within 1.5 hours' drive. Glasgow is a 45 minute train ride away.
