Bellevue, Edinburgh
Situated on the eastern fringes of the desirable New Town, Bellevue is popular with professionals, families and downsizers alike thanks to its varied housing options, from Georgian terraces and Victorian tenements to 1930s villas and modern apartments. Whilst enjoying the peace and tranquillity of a largely residential area, Bellevue locals are a short stroll from the cosmopolitan New Town, as well as the convenience of rail and airport tram links. Nearby bustling Broughton Street has retained all the charm of a traditional high street with its array of delightful independent shops and businesses, dotted between a selection of pubs, bars, and restaurants. Bellevue is ideally placed for all the capital’s top cultural attractions, particularly the Playhouse Theatre, the Scottish National Portrait Gallery and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh. For sport and fitness enthusiasts, there is a choice of gyms and fitness studios in the vicinity; nearby Inverleith Park and Calton Hill are also perfect for keeping fit outdoors and yield stunning views of the capital. Bellevue provides primary and secondary schooling and is also convenient for a selection of private childcare and education options.
“Selling a property is more than just a transaction. Building relationships, getting to know the people involved and making the process as simple and straightforward as possible – that’s what I’m all about.”
