The bathroom is lovely too; with sandstone coloured tiles and smart vanity units, thought has gone into its design. The bath has a shower over it.
There is a very cozy and homely living room with french doors leading out to the private terrace. Certainly a room to spend time in, relaxing after a day’s sightseeing or shopping! On a summer’s day, the terrace offers an additional space to enjoy a morning coffee or glass of wine.
There is a separate dining area with smart new kitchen adjacent. Featuring sophisticated white units, the design combines country kitchen living with city chic.
The whole cottage has truly inspiring design touches, with philip stark chairs in the dedicated dining area area and a great mix of lovely antique furniture and state of the art style.
The house also has a fascinating history ...
This detached cottage was 1 of four lodge cottages of the blacket estate. The estate was an exclusive residential development built in the 1830s. At each of its 4 entrances there was a lodge occupied by a gatekeeper whose job it was to open and close the gates into the blacket estate. This continued until 1903 when, with the arrival of motor cars, the occupants of the lodges no longer had the obligation to open and close the gates. The gates were removed during the 2nd world war.
It is situated opposite what is now salisbury green hotel, part of edinburgh university’s pollock halls of residence. This building was until the 2nd world war st. Trinneans girls school, a name used, with changed spelling, by ronald searle for his famous cartoons of st trinian’s girls.
