Silverton, 88 Trinity Road, EH5 3JU

Grace, scale and modern comfort in the heart of Trinity

Set behind the stone pillars of one of Trinity’s most desirable addresses, Silverton is a truly exceptional ground floor drawing room apartment. Blending the proportions of a classic villa with elegant modern design, this home offers a rare combination of character, privacy, and convenience.

Forming part of a distinguished Victorian property, this main door residence retains the grand scale and detail of its era. The traditional half-door opens into a welcoming vestibule and entrance hall, setting the tone for the home beyond. The front section of the property—part of the original villa—hosts the impressive living and cooking spaces, while the rear offers a more contemporary layout for the bedrooms and bathrooms, striking the perfect balance between period style and modern living.

 At the heart of the home is a magnificent drawing room with ornate cornicing, a striking fireplace with open gas fire, working shutters, and a bay window dining area. Glazed doors open into a bright conservatory, offering a seamless connection to the private garden and a peaceful spot to enjoy the light throughout the day.

 The stylish kitchen is both functional and sociable, featuring a large island with 5-ring gas hob, Siemens appliances, twin Edinburgh Press cupboards, a wine cabinet, and a beautiful stained-glass window. A relaxed seating area within the kitchen makes it the ideal space to cook, unwind, and entertain.

 To the rear of the property are three double bedrooms and two modern bathrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes and a contemporary en-suite shower room. The second bedroom overlooks the rear garden, while the third, also a double, includes fitted wardrobes. A separate family bathroom, utility room with pulley, and an exceptionally spacious part-floored loft complete the internal accommodation.

 The Garden

Silverton’s garden is a key feature—generously proportioned yet designed for ease of maintenance, with abundant colour and privacy. The layout is slightly unconventional but beautifully thought through, offering distinct areas that flow around the home.

A neat lawn sits beneath the bay window and curves round towards the conservatory, creating a sense of continuity between indoors and out. On the opposite side, a deep planted bed offers rich seasonal interest through mature shrubs and perennials, while remaining low maintenance.

Further areas include a paved barbecue and seating space, a flourishing herb garden, and a large glasshouse currently used as a workshop. Well-screened and private, the garden is ideal for relaxing, pottering, or hosting—offering a rare level of outdoor space in such a central setting.
