A lovely two-bedroom end-of-terrace house with a private terraced garden, patio, off-street parking, garden room/studio and a dedicated lockable garden shed (perfect for bike storage).

Ideally located in the Blackford Hill area (within the James Gillespie's Schools' catchment area), this property has been our cherished home for the past two years. It offers a peaceful, private refuge from the city centre while remaining highly connected-multiple major bus routes are just a short walk away, and the Cameron Toll shopping centre is a convenient 10-minute walk. Exceptional woodland walks through Blackford Hill and the Hermitage of the Braid are right on your doorstep.

A standout feature of the property is the standalone garden office (currently used as an artist's studio). It is fully insulated, equipped with power and lighting, and internet-ready with a high-speed fibre connection. We currently use a Sky booster hub to connect to the wi-fi hub in the house, which currently achieves about 150mbps download speed, which is for multiple devices to stream or game simultaneously. (Tenants are welcome to take over the existing Sky account, utilities are not included in the rent).

Our Ideal Tenants: Due to a (possibly temporary) relocation south of the border, our home is available from early October. We are looking for respectful occupants who chime with its cozy, arty feel and will care for the home and grounds with love.

This setup would perfectly suit mature/post-graduate students, creatives, or professionals/academics on placement at the nearby University of Edinburgh campuses. Although we state up to four people, we are not an HMO, so this would mean a family or two couples.

To help us find the right fit for our home, please introduce yourselves! Tell us a bit about your occupation, what you are studying or working on, your lifestyle, and what attracts you to our home. One-line responses will not be considered (e.g. "is this still available"? The ad will be taken down once the right tenants are found, so if you see the ad, it's still available!).

Please note that we will removing most personal effects (e.g. some potted plants, pictures and sculptures) and most likely replacing the pictured beds with two double Victorian-style metal-framed beds, though we are open to discussion regarding furniture requirements, such as adjustments for a child.
