At the bottom of Scotland Street, King George V Park leads on to an extensive network of off-road cycle and running paths that run along former railway tracks. The members-only Drummond Tennis Club sits to the rear of the property and is popular with local residents. Within easy walking distance of the property is Inverleith Park, a large open parkland with public tennis courts and a children’s play park, and the world-renowned Royal Botanic Gardens.

The property falls within the catchment area for Broughton Primary School, St Mary’s RC Primary School and Drummond Community High School with several private school options, including The Edinburgh Academy, which can be reached on foot in 10 minutes and Fettes College, only 10 minutes by car. The city centre is within easy walking distance and where you will find an abundance of restaurants, shops, museums and historic attractions. Just a short walk away, Waverley Station provides access to both local and national rail links and there are excellent bus and tram services from St Andrew Square to Edinburgh International Airport. The A1 to East Lothian is easily accessible as is the City Bypass that links into Central Scotland’s motorway network.
