The Local Area
Blackford is a highly sought-after residential area, offering a tranquil setting with easy access to the city centre. Excellent local amenities include a variety of shops, cafes, and restaurants, while nearby Cameron Toll Shopping Centre provides further retail options.
For outdoor enthusiasts, Blackford Hill, the Hermitage of Braid, and the Meadows offer fantastic green spaces for walking, running, and cycling. Golfers can enjoy nearby Craigmillar Park Golf Club. The property is also conveniently close to the University of Edinburgh's King's Buildings and the Royal Infirmary is easily accessible.
Blackford is well-served by outstanding transport links, with regular bus services providing swift connections to the city centre and beyond. The City Bypass is a few miles to the south, ensuring convenient travel to Edinburgh Airport and the wider motorway network.
