No. 14 Hope Terrace - Mansfield Lodge

Current Project. SOLD

Big skies and commanding views in an unimaginably tranquil location to the south of Edinburgh city centre with the open green space of the Hermitage of Braid local nature reserve almost on the doorstep. Privacy here is a given with high walls, large lawns and mature trees surrounding this magnificent Victorian villa arranged over two floors. A glorious situation on a leafy cobbled street in the heart of Edinburgh’s exclusive Grange area.

The buff and rosy sandstone original merges seamlessly with sympathetic conservation technique and artisanal skill to breathe new life into this handsome and substantial merchant’s house. Perfectly preserved Victorian features such as original marble fireplaces, handmade wooden doors, ornate cornice work, bannisters and balustrades, and an outstandingly beautiful cupola are respectfully restored alongside refurbished sash and case windows, and replaced exterior slate and stonework.

Combining conservation and the contemporary, the Elpis high interior specification always takes into account what has gone before and with this in mind a colour palette of soft hues showcase the existing footprint of the house to its best effect, with only bespoke fittings, lustrous sanitaryware and the finest detail earning their place.
