A delightful family home, situated on a peaceful street in Morningside, one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after neighbourhoods. This elegant Victorian end-terraced house combines period charm with modern family living and is close to first class amenities. The property is in the catchment area for the highly-regarded South Morningside Primary School and Boroughmuir High School, as well as being within walking distance of George Watson's College, with other private school options nearby.
The house retains many fine period features, and is entered on the ground floor into a porch with original tiled floor, and coat hooks. The entrance hall provides a Victorian gate pull, two under-stairs storage cupboards, and a door to the welcoming living room, with bay window, ornate cornicing, an Edinburgh press, and a wood burning stove.
A stylish kitchen/dining room provides French doors to the rear garden and is fitted with a good range of units, granite worktops and appliances including an electric oven, hob, integrated dishwasher and a combi boiler. A separate utility room contains ample storage cupboards, a sink, pulley, a washer drier and a fridge/freezer.
Also on the ground floor is an office, perfect for home working or study, a separate WC, and a door leading to a bright period sun room, with direct access to the rear garden.
On the half landing, there is an attic hatch and a well-appointed family bathroom with a shower over the bath. Upstairs there is a skylight, two deep storage cupboards, and four attractive bedrooms; three double bedrooms, and a single bedroom which is currently used as a study. All bedrooms have the original service bells and cornicing. There are fireplaces and press cupboards in bedrooms 1 and 2 and a wash basin in bedroom 2. Bedrooms 1 and 4 are located at the front of the property, and bedroom 3 at the side. Bedroom 2 has a lovely open view over gardens to the centre of Morningside.
Outside, there is a well-kept private front garden with a log shed. To the rear, there is a beautiful, well established and fully enclosed garden which includes mature shrubs, honeysuckle and apple trees. A paved sandstone patio is perfect for al-fresco dining, and leads on to a well-maintained lawn. Two garden sheds provide useful storage, one has light and power. There is also a Wendy House.

Location
St Clair Terrace is quietly situated in one of Edinburgh's most vibrant and desirable neighbourhoods, known for its tree-lined streets, excellent local amenities, and strong sense of community. Just 2 miles from the city centre, Morningside boasts an eclectic range of shops, restaurants, bars and artisan cafes as well as a cinema and theatre. Supermarkets nearby include Waitrose, Tesco’s, Sainsbury’s Local and Marks & Spencer.
The area is very popular with families, largely due to its selection of highly-regarded nursery, primary and secondary schools, including private day nurseries and wraparound care facilities. St Clair Terrace lies within the catchment area for South Morningside Primary School, Boroughmuir High School, St. Peter’s RC Primary School and St Thomas of Aquin’s. Private options include George Watson’s College, which is within walking distance. The Edinburgh Steiner School, George Heriot’s School and Merchiston Castle School are also within easy reach. The Edinburgh College of Art, Edinburgh University campuses and the King’s Buildings are a short distance away.
Morningside is surrounded by green open spaces such as the Meadows, Easter Craiglockhart Hill and Nature Reserve, Blackford Hill, the Braidburn Valley, Hermitage of Braid, Craiglockhart Dell, Arthur’s Seat and the Pentland Hills, all of which offer plentiful walking and cycling opportunities. There are also numerous recreational facilities in close proximity including the Merchants of Edinburgh Golf Course, Craiglockhart Leisure Centre, several tennis clubs and swimming pools, Morningside Park and the Midlothian Snowsports Centre at Hillend.
St Clair Terrace benefits from unrestricted on-street parking and excellent proximity to numerous bus routes (the nearest bus stops are located just round the corner), the city bypass, Edinburgh International Airport, Waverley Railway Station and central Scotland’s motorway network.
