Edinburgh property: Elegant former home of master plasterer up for sale with wood burner

In the property spotlight this week is a superb five-bedroom terraced house, situated on a quiet residential street in the highly desirable area of Newington.

The flexible and generously proportioned accommodation is set over three levels and offers beautiful period features throughout the property.

The cornicing and plasterwork are particularly ornate as the first owner of the property was a master plasterer to trade.

The substantial Moston Terrace address is well spaced throughout, and includes unique features such as an elegant drawing room with a log burning stove.

Other features include a private office area, and a beautiful curved staircase to the second floor.

The traditional log burning stove keeps everyone warm during the winter months. (ESPC)

The home also includes four double bedrooms, a smaller single bedroom, and a large kitchen and dining room with direct access to the private rear garden.

The intricate detail that is all around the house is testament to its original period features. (ESPC)

The property has well maintained private gardens to the front and rear.

The rear garden, which has a patio, lawn, fruit trees and shed, is west facing and therefore particularly sunny in the afternoon and evening.

The top floor of the house offers lovely views to Blackford Hill from the rear and Arthur's Seat from the front.

The house lies within the catchment area for Sciennes and St Peter's RC Primary Schools and James Gillespie's and St Thomas of Aquin's RC High Schools.

Newington is a highly sought after residential neighbourhood which lies to the south of the city centre.

It is served by excellent local amenities including a wide range of everyday and specialist shops, bars, restaurants and cafes.

Within easy reach is Cameron Toll Shopping Centre and both Straiton and The Fort Retail Parks are within a short car journey.

This Moston Terrace address is marketed by Simpson and Marwick, and is on the market for offers over £880,000.

You can have a closer look at this property, and book a private viewing on the ESPC website, here.
