Enviably situated in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End, this wonderfully
spacious and characterful three/four - bedroom apartment lies on the third floor
of a listed Georgian tenement and benefits from versatile interiors with
generous living space, a study, stylish bathroom facilities, a box room, and
cellar storage. Many fine period details remain, accompanied by sophisticated
décor and finishings.
Set within a b - listed Georgian tenement in Edinburgh’s West End conservation
area, this remarkably spacious three/four - bedroom third - floor apartment
represents a charming city residence with an enviable central address. World -
class shopping and attractions lie within strolling distance, as well as tram
links to the airport and national rail services from nearby Haymarket.
Occupying over 1500 square feet, the wonderfully airy and versatile interiors
retain many authentic features stylishly paired with tasteful contemporary
additions.
The apartment is reached via a secure communal stairway. Once inside, the
character and smart decorative finish are instantly apparent in a high -
ceilinged entrance hall (with built - in storage) featuring subtle dove - grey
décor, intricate cornicework, and reconditioned original wooden flooring.
Living Room - This welcoming central area flows through to a similarly
decorated living room. This generous pine - floored sitting area enjoys a bright
south - facing position with double shuttered windows and is focused around a
striking period fireplace. Classic wall panelling, a ceiling rose, and fine
cornice work adds charming ornamentation.
Kitchen - Returning through the hall you reach a light - filled contemporary
kitchen via a door with exquisite stained glass detailing. The kitchen’s
under - lit wood - style units are perfectly complemented by naturally - toned décor
and stone wall and floor tiling. A good - sized dining area, with banquette
seating set beneath a large window, creates a lovely space for relaxed social
gatherings and communing with guests whilst cooking. The kitchen is equipped
with a freestanding stainlesssteel range cooker and an American - style fridge
freezer, and a fully integrated dishwasher and washing machine.
Bedrooms - The home’s three spacious double bedrooms are presented in gentle
muted tones and softly carpeted. Enchanting period fireplaces feature as well
as window shutters in two rooms, including the large rear - facing principal
bedroom that also boasts elegant cornicing and an open shelved Edinburgh
press. Located beside the main bedroom is a sky - lit box room/dressing room. A
bright home study, accessible from the hall and living room, could be used as
a fourth bedroom if required.
Bathroom - Completing the interiors are a luxurious bathroom and a
neighbouring additional WC, both fully tiled in neutral tones. Accessed via a
door featuring beautifully patterned stained glass, the bathroom has a hidden -
cistern WC, a countertop basin with under vanity storage, a p - shaped bath with
an overhead shower, and the statement feature of a circular heated towel rail.
The property benefits from Hive - operated gas central heating and electric
operated Velux windows in the bathroom, hallway, and walk - in cupboard. The
home also has wall - mounted (hidden) power and TV points in the kitchen and all
bedrooms. Plus, it benefits from ceiling - mounted speakers connected to a Sonos

bedrooms.

communal parking area at the rear of property (accessed via a communal
