2 bed end terrace house to rent

Rankin Drive, Edinburgh EH9

Property Reference: 1632263.

A lovely two-bedroom end-of-terrace house featuring a private terraced garden, patio, off-street parking, garden room/studio and a dedicated lockable garden shed (perfect for bike storage).

Ideally located in the desirable Blackford Hill area (within the James Gillespie's Schools' catchment area), this property has been our cherished home for the past two years. It offers a peaceful, private refuge from the city centre while remaining highly connected-multiple major bus routes are just a short walk away, and the Cameron Toll shopping centre is a convenient 10-minute walk. Exceptional woodland walks through Blackford Hill and the Hermitage of the Braid are right on your doorstep.

A standout feature of the property is the standalone garden office (currently used as an artist's studio). It is fully insulated, equipped with power and lighting, and internet-ready with a high-speed fibre connection. We currently use a Sky booster hub in the office that provides a flawless connection to the wi-fi hub in the house for demanding remote work, creative projects, or academic research. (Tenants are welcome to take over the existing Sky account, utilities are not included in the rent).

Our Ideal Tenants: Due to a (possibly temporary) relocation south of the border, our home is available from October. We are looking for respectful occupants who chime with its cozy, arty feel and will care for the home and grounds with love.

This setup would perfectly suit mature/post-graduate students, creatives, or professionals/academics on placement at the nearby University of Edinburgh campuses.

Please note that we will replacing beds in the pictures with two double Victorian-style metal-framed beds (though we are open to discussion regarding furniture requirements, such as adjustments for a child).
