Russell Place is a particularly elegant, detached home, set within beautifully mature and incredibly private grounds in the heart of Trinity. This early example of a Gothic Revival villa forms part of a charming group of three such properties, originally conceived as part of the early 19th-century development of Trinity Mains by lawyer Alexander Scott, as depicted on Wood's 1826 plan of Leith.

Arranged over two floors, the property benefits from predominantly south and east-facing aspects, ensuring an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The accommodation has been extensively modernised to meet the needs of contemporary family living while retaining exquisite period features, including delicate plasterwork, astragal windows, and a striking cupola over the central hallway.

At the heart of the home is a beautifully designed kitchen and dining area, which has been enhanced by a stunning glass extension. This light-filled space, with a southerly aspect overlooking the garden, offers a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living. The spacious sitting room provides an elegant yet inviting retreat.

Located approximately two miles north of the city centre this is a high amenity area with a thriving community with active churches, tennis and bowling clubs, private park, a wide selection of local shops and major supermarkets.

The area is particularly well served from an educational point of view with a choice of nurseries, Wardie Primary School and Trinity Academy as well as the Edinburgh Academy, Fettes College, George Heriots, Erskine Stuart's Melville Schools and St George's School.

There are good transport links with a local bus service (number 23) providing a direct route to the city centre, and an extensive network of cycle paths; the tram is a short distance and convenient road access westwards to the City Bypass, Edinburgh Business Park, Edinburgh Airport and beyond to the Central Scotland Motorway Network.

Local amenities include sailing at Granton and the David Lloyd Leisure Centre at Western Harbour.
