Edinburgh’s Southside conservation area The Grange was developed for wealthy families in the mid-19th Century, and today remains one of the city’s most popular affluent suburbs, just 20 minutes south of Princes Street.

The leafy locale is characterised by large and distinctive Victorian villas set along quiet, verdant streets, confirming the postcode as one of the most sought-after residential areas of the Capital.

Kate and Andrew Mearns bought the home 20 years ago and raised their two sons there. “We were looking to upsize and we really wanted to stay in the area,” Kate remembers. “It was a great option for us, and our kids were at school in the area at the time, so it fitted in well for us. We absolutely loved The Grange.”
