2 bedroom duplex

Offering stylish city accommodation in the desirable Trinity district, just a stone's throw from the water and within the Newhaven conservation area, 9/2 Craighall Road is a duplex apartment arranged over the ground and first floors of a former church. Stairs and a beautifully kept front garden lead to the handsome church exterior. Inside, a communal vestibule with secure entry and beautiful stained-glass windows leads to the ground floor front door.

Inside, a spacious entrance hallway (with storage) leads to a well-equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar. From here just a few steps take you to a versatile dining room, which is filled with light from large east-facing windows. This bright space is ideal for formal dining, entertaining friends and cosy dinners with family. It allows for various furniture arrangements and could also be used as a study.

Stairs in the dining room lead up to the first floor mezzanine level where you find a spacious but homely lounge. Also on this level is a modern shower room.

Back on the ground floor, two generous double bedrooms enjoy built-in storage and cosy carpeting. The principal bedroom has direct access to the family bathroom, which is also reached from the gallway.

The bathroom is fitted with a three-piece suite, including a Jacuzzi bath with an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure a warm, energy-efficient climate all year round.

The property sits in well-maintained communal gardens, including a patio area to the rear with a lovely outlook, and benefits from unrestricted on-street parking.

Trinity 

Situated to the north of the city, the leafy suburb of Trinity is a highly desirable residential area, characterised by a combination of period, traditional and modern architecture. Situated less than three miles from the centre of Edinburgh, next to the Firth of Forth, the immediate area offers a broad selection of local amenities. These are supplemented by extensive shopping facilities at nearby Craigleith Retail Park and Ocean Terminal. Additional amenities can be found in Trinity's neighbouring districts, which include Newhaven and the Shore.

Trinity, with its extensive network of cycle paths and walkways, is ideal for those who enjoy the outdoors with Victoria Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens nearby, as well as the Firth of Forth waterfront and Water of Leith Walkway. Education is offered at well-regarded state schools, while the capital's independent schools are within easy reach. Regular bus services allow quick travel throughout the city, with the Airlink offering swift access to the airport. The Queensferry Crossing, Edinburgh City Bypass and M8/M9 motorway network are easily accessible for those going further afield.
