Set within the leafy grounds of East Suffolk Park, 4/1 Carlyle House offers a unique living experience amidst Edinburgh's architectural heritage. Originally built in the early 1900s for female students of the University of Edinburgh, these Grade B listed buildings now sit within a conservation zone, preserving their character while offering modern standards throughout. The expanse of former hockey pitches has been transformed into a picturesque “village green”, with lush lawns, mature trees, and landscaped gardens providing a tranquil, semi-rural atmosphere. all just minutes from vibrant Newington and the heart of the city. Residents also enjoy exclusive access to two enclosed tennis courts, adding to the recreational appeal of this distinctive community.

Within your own main door flat there is well proportioned accommodation that combines charm and modern practicality. The original sash & case multi-pane windows, wood panel doors, picture rails and period style radiators evoke timeless elegance, thoughtfully complemented by the convenience of a modern combi-boiler (3 years old), fresh carpets, and a recently repainted interior.

The kitchen features integrated Bosch appliances in the light, neutral-toned fitted units with granite worktops. With a tall fridge-freezer, double oven, gas hob, dishwasher, and microwave, everything you need is in place for preparing family meals and entertaining guests. The shower room combines practicality and relaxation, boasting stone-tiled walls, a rainfall shower drawing from the boiler, abundant storage and a secondary WC and wash basin for busy family mornings. Spacious and bright, the living room can accommodate both seating and dining areas. Each double bedroom enjoys generous natural light from dual-aspect windows, enhancing their calm and welcoming atmosphere.

Accessibility is enhanced by a private entry from the rear and another from the communal hall. Residents enjoy well-maintained gardens and immediate private parking at the side of Carlyle House. The building management by Ross & Liddell, at approximately £150 monthly (including buildings insurance), provides a steady upkeep of communal areas. Substantial separate basement storage is available a short stroll away, and the friendly Resident's Committee fosters a genuine sense of community.
