Property description
Unique, beautifully-presented and charming, two-bedroom, stone-built cottage set to the rear of Liberton's former Southfield mansion house, which dates from 1875.

External features include unrestricted on-site residents' parking, including an allocated space. Liberton offers a broad range of everyday amenities and local shopping, with a large Morrisons supermarket nearby. Well-regarded schooling at all levels is available locally, and a library and leisure centre are both within a short distance. Cameron Toll Shopping Centre and Straiton Retail Park are both a short drive away, a regular bus service connects with the city centre, and there is easy road access to the City Bypass and main road networks.
