Description
East Hermitage Place is an elegant and beautifully proportioned period townhouse, set within one of Leith’s most sought-after residential areas. This impressive home offers bright, generous accommodation arranged over three floors, complemented by a private, south-facing rear garden.
The property makes an immediate impression with its classical period features, showcased throughout. High ceilings, ornate cornicing, stunning fireplaces and tall sash-and-case windows combine to create a timeless sense of refinement, while allowing natural light to flood each principal room. The result is an interior that feels both substantial and effortlessly light.
The ground floor provides exceptional living and entertaining space. A welcoming entrance vestibule and reception hall lead to a magnificent living room overlooking Leith Links, complete with charming period details and a generous bay window. To the rear, a formal dining room enjoys a peaceful outlook over the garden, offering an ideal setting for both everyday family life and more formal occasions. These two rooms have been thoughtfully opened to create a seamless, full-depth living space, yet can be separated to allow for more intimate use when desired.
The adjoining kitchen is conveniently positioned off the dining room and benefits from excellent storage and workspace. It also provides direct access to the private south-facing garden -perfect for those who enjoy al fresco dining and outdoor living.
The first floor hosts two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both filled with natural light and retaining the home’s elegant character. Elevated views over Leith Links become increasingly impressive, with particularly striking outlooks from the front bedroom. A beautifully appointed family bathroom serves this level, while an additional room offers flexible use as a fourth bedroom, study, dressing room or nursery.
On the second floor, the principal bedroom forms a superb private retreat. Enjoying charming architectural details, delightful views and a peaceful atmosphere, it occupies the majority of the floor and provides ample space for bedroom furnishings. A contemporary shower room completes this level, ideally suited to modern living.
To the rear lies a rare and highly desirable private south-facing garden, creating a secluded, sun-filled haven - perfect for relaxing, entertaining or gardening. Its favourable orientation ensures sunlight throughout the day, further enhancing the home’s bright and airy ambience.
Location
The nearby The Shore (approximately 0.7 miles away) is bursting with excellent restaurants, including Michelin-starred The Kitchin, many seafood specialists, and plenty of cosy Scottish pubs. You can even dine on board Fingal Hotel (around 1 mile away), an incredible floating hotel.
Ocean Terminal (approximately 1 mile away), Leith's stylish shopping centre designed by Sir Terence Conran and currently undergoing extensive renovation, offers a variety of stores, restaurants, a multi-screen cinema complex, and the Royal Yacht Britannia moored alongside. The recent addition of the Port of Leith Distillery (around 1.4 miles away) provides a striking hospitality destination as the world’s first vertical distillery.
The immediately accessible Leith Links (on the doorstep) provide superb local open green space, while the nearby Craigentinny Golf Course (approximately 1.6 miles away) offers an 18-hole, par-67 course suitable for all skill levels.
There are excellent road and public transport links both into the city centre (around 2.5 miles away) and out to the city bypass and East Lothian. The tram network passes close by, with The Shore tram stop (around 0.7 miles away) providing direct access to the city centre and Edinburgh Airport (approximately 9 miles away).
Just 1.2 miles from the seaside at Portobello, an easy walk allows residents to enjoy coastal living and escape the city without compromising on excellent local amenities.
