SITUATION:

Situated near to the Firth of Forth shoreline, Trinity is a highly sought-after residential area with lovely leafy streets and a thriving community spirit. It lies just two miles north of Edinburgh city centre and enjoys excellent bus and cycle path links to the city centre.

The area is well served with local amenities with an array of independent stores at Goldenacre as well as a Sainsbury’s Local on Craighall Road. Within close proximity, there is an Asda superstore at Newhaven and a M&S Food Hall at the Ocean Terminal shopping and entertainment complex, where there is also a VUE cinema, restaurants, high-street shops, and The Royal Yacht Britannia visitor attraction. There is a farmer’s market every Saturday in nearby cosmopolitan Leith, where you will also find Michelin-starred restaurants, waterfront bars and cafes.

Victoria Park, a beautiful public park with extensive open parkland, large children’s play park, community tennis, football and basketball courts, is located a few minutes’ walk from the property. It is from the park that you can access the North Edinburgh Cycle Network that connects Trinity to the city centre in one direction and the bustling port of Leith. You can also access the Water of Leith Walkway that will lead you to cosmopolitan Stockbridge with its independent shops, restaurants, cafes and weekly market, Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.

There is a good range of recreational facilities in the locality such as Lomond Park Tennis & Bowling Club, the St Serf’s Tennis Club and the Pure Gym at Ocean Terminal. It is just a short walk to the picturesque Newhaven Harbour, where you will find several lovely seafood restaurants and a David Lloyd Leisure & Tennis Centre.

The property sits in the catchment area for Trinity Primary School and Trinity Academy whilst there are several private schooling options nearby including Fettes College, Erskine Stewarts’ Melville Schools (ESMS) and The Edinburgh Academy.

There are good bus services to the city centre from nearby Ferry Road and Trinity will benefit from the extension of the city’s tramline to Leith and Newhaven when it is completed which will provide both a link to the city centre and Edinburgh International Airport.

The property lies within easy access of the A1 to East Lothian that links into the City Bypass and Central Scotland’s motorway network.
