Newington Lodge - EH9

A distinctive, art-filled Georgian villa in Newington, Edinburgh, built in 1825 and comprehensively renovated in 2025. The house combines grand period architecture with contemporary family living, offering generous proportions, restored sash-and-case windows, strong natural light, mature gardens and a series of highly shootable interiors. The entrance level provides a strong sequence of period spaces. A decorated entrance vestibule with characterful wallpaper leads into an oval central hall beneath a large cupola, creating a striking architectural arrival point with curved walls, classical detailing and overhead natural light. From the hall, the house opens into a grand double drawing room with high ceilings, chandeliers, large sash windows, working fireplaces, pale timber floors, layered rugs, contemporary furniture and a large gallery wall of artwork. The room offers excellent scale and several distinct backdrops within one connected space. Alongside the drawing room is a more intimate living room / TV snug, with deep wall colour, built-in bookshelves, large sash window and relaxed seating. This gives the property a warmer, more residential setting alongside the grandeur of the formal rooms. The principal guest suite includes a mezzanine bathroom, tall window, soft natural light and elevated views towards the Edinburgh hills. There is also a characterful WC with bold wallpaper and black panelling, plus a number of useful circulation spaces including the lower hallway and a newly installed oak staircase that adds a contemporary architectural contrast to the 200-year-old house. On the lower level, the house shifts into a more modern family-living aesthetic. A large open-plan kitchen, dining and living space features dark green cabinetry, warm timber detailing, a generous island, family dining table, Crittall-style glazed screen and doors, and views through to the conservatory and garden. This area is well suited to lifestyle, interiors, food, family, homeware, editorial and brand content. Externally, the property has mature front and rear gardens, a handsome Georgian frontage with classical entrance steps, and a substantial south-facing rear garden with stone elevation, timber-and-glass conservatory, lawn and established planting. Driveway parking is available for up to three cars. Available shoot areas include the entrance vestibule, oval main hallway, double drawing room / gallery room, living room / TV snug, principal guest suite with mezzanine bathroom, WC, open-plan kitchen / living / dining space, lower hallway and staircase, plus front and rear exterior garden areas. The house is especially well suited to lifestyle, interiors, fashion, premium product, editorial, family, food, homeware, brand content and selected filming.
