Why We Love 20 Mayfield Gardens

At Cullerton’s, representing Edinburgh and East Lothian’s finest homes is our hallmark. This August, 20 Mayfield Gardens is our stand-out property of the month.

From the moment you step through the stained-glass entrance and traditional vestibule, you are transported to an era of considered proportions and lasting craftsmanship, all while being just moments from the independent cafés of Causewayside and the green expanse of The Meadows.

“It is rare to find a property that balances grand Victorian history, genuine hospitality pedigree and a family home, quite like 20 Mayfield Gardens does."

Elegant, Light-Filled Reception Rooms

The reception spaces are designed for both grandeur and flow. The sitting room and dining room are both generously proportioned, each fronted by a beautiful bay window that floods the interiors with natural light. Beyond, a large conservatory offers a more relaxed setting, extending the living accommodation towards the mature rear garden.

“The balance between formal reception rooms and more intimate, everyday spaces creates a rare sense of versatility throughout the home."

A Home Built for Modern Life

Two well-appointed kitchens add further flexibility to the accommodation, one benefiting from its own dedicated breakfast area for relaxed, everyday use. Across the upper floors, seven bright double bedrooms are complemented by four en-suite shower rooms, a family bathroom and a further shower room, representing an exceptional degree of accommodation by any Edinburgh standard.

“Not many houses captures meticulously retained period detailing of a grand Victorian period while offering a genuinely versatile home for contemporary life"

A Property With Two Lives

20 Mayfield Gardens currently operates as an award-winning, five-star luxury boutique hotel, and is offered complete with its guest house furniture. A new owner may elect to continue this established hospitality business, or restore the property to its original purpose as an exceptional family home — a rare choice for a house of this calibre

Newington at Your Doorstep

For those who love the outdoors, The Meadows and Holyrood Park are just a short stroll away, with Arthur’s Seat beyond. Combined with easy access to the city centre, the university, and Newington’s own independent restaurants and cafés — including the long-standing Kalpna and the arts venue Summerhall — this is a lifestyle that remains hard to rival.

Brimming with Victorian character and rare versatility, this seven-bedroom Victorian house offers flexibility rarely seen on this scale.
