8C West Mill Road, Colinton, Edinburgh, EH13

Welcome to 8C West Mill Road, Colinton - an attractive, modern (Applecross 2022), Lorimer-inspired, generously-proportioned maisonette, arranged over two floors, with dual aspect, private entrance, three/four bedrooms, excellent storage, allocated and on-street parking, and well-maintained grounds, with lovely communal gardens.

In a Wealth of Nation survey, Colinton is ranked one of the top 500 most desirable residential locations in the UK. Nestled in the leafy, semi-rural south-west outskirts of the city, yet only 4 miles from the city-centre, this historic conservation village on the banks of one of the most picturesque and idyllic stretches of the Water of Leith makes West Mill one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential areas.
Enjoying quick and easy access to the city centre and, via the Dreghorn Link to the A720 City Bypass, Edinburgh International Airport and the Queensferry Crossing, West Mill also sits a stone’s throw from Colinton & Craiglockhart  Dells, the Union Canal walkway, and at the foot of the Pentland Hills Regional Park/Bonaly Country Park - for a truly best-of-both-worlds feel.

The village centre - a five-minute walk over the river through Spylaw Park -  perfectly serves everyday needs, with post-office/deli, Co-op, pharmacy, surgery, dentist, optician, excellent garage, library, two convivial pubs and two popular restaurants. Tesco, Sainsbury’s and Aldi superstores are a few minutes drive, at Oxgangs and Longstone, whilst the bypass makes out-of-town shopping at Straiton, Hermiston Gait and The Gyle, a breeze.

Green, breathing space typifies Colinton/West Mill living, with seamless miles of walking and cycling via the Water of Leith, Union Canal (NCR 75), and sporting opportunity is well-served by Colinton Bowling and Tennis Club, Kingsknowe and Merchants of Edinburgh Golf Clubs, Craiglockhart Leisure & Tennis Centre and Midlothian Snowsports Centre - all local or within easy reach.
