A unique detached cottage with a garden and garage in desirable Newington and within James Gillespie's High School catchment
26 East Mayfield Gardens is a charming detached cottage occupying a unique position within one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential areas.
Beautifully presented throughout, it successfully balances traditional charm with contemporary finishes, creating an appealing and highly practical family home.
The front door opens into a welcoming vestibule and hallway; to the front of the property, the elegant bay-windowed dining room is flooded with natural light and enjoys attractive views over the front garden. Featuring beautiful wooden flooring, detailed cornicing, and a handsome fireplace, it provides a superb setting for both formal entertaining and everyday family life.
Across the hall, the generously proportioned living room offers a comfortable and relaxing retreat. Well-balanced and bright, it provides an excellent principal reception room and a versatile space for family living.
To the rear, the recently upgraded kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with sleek contemporary cabinetry, quality integrated appliances, and generous worktop space. The soft-toned finishes and large window create a bright and welcoming environment, while an adjoining utility room and ground-floor WC add valuable practicality.
Also situated on the ground floor is a spacious double bedroom, ideal for guests, older children or those seeking flexible single-level living. This room could equally serve as an additional reception room or home office depending on individual requirements.
A staircase leads to the first-floor landing, where the remaining accommodation is arranged. The principal bedroom is particularly impressive, enjoying exceptional proportions and extending to almost nineteen feet in length. Bright and comfortable, it offers ample space for both sleeping and seating areas. Two further generously sized double bedrooms provide excellent accommodation for family members and guests.
The family bathroom has been beautifully modernised and features a freestanding bath, separate shower enclosure and stylish contemporary fittings, creating an elegant and relaxing space.
Throughout the house, the balance between original character and modern enhancement has been carefully considered. Large windows, generous room proportions and a tasteful decorative scheme combine to create a bright and welcoming atmosphere throughout.
Externally to the side, a beautifully enclosed walled garden provides a peaceful and sheltered outdoor environment, with a central lawn bordered by mature planting and paved seating areas. The garden offers an ideal setting for outdoor dining, entertaining and family enjoyment, while retaining a high degree of privacy.
A private garage provides valuable parking and storage, a particularly rare asset in such a central Edinburgh location.
The result is a highly distinctive detached home of considerable character, offering the rare combination of privacy, garden ground and garage accommodation within one of Edinburgh's most desirable residential neighbourhoods.
