Description
5B Rothesay Mews is a superb one-bedroom pied-à-terre, expertly converted from a garage. Historically, this charming home is part of an original Victorian mews street tucked behind the grand townhouses of Edinburgh’s spectacular West End. Originally built in the 17th and 18th centuries as stables, the mews was later repurposed as a garage below an upper flat and, has recently undergone the transformation into a modern ground-floor apartment.
The renovation has been cleverly designed, making exceptional use of space to provide a functional modern home, while retaining some historic character. Recent upgrades include double glazing throughout, updated heating, and modernised electrics, which are reflected in the property’s overall efficiency.
A private entrance at ground level leads to a convenient vestibule and the main accommodation. With a large southeast aspect, the property enjoys light throughout the day and captures the best of the morning sun. The Wicander Hydrocork flooring installed here is not only highly sustainable but also offers excellent insulation, water resistance, and durability.
The well-designed floorplan ensures plenty of room for the contemporary, open-plan kitchen and sitting room at the front, providing a versatile space that accommodates a substantial dining table too. Fully equipped with numerous wall and floor units, the kitchen includes integrated appliances such as an conduction hob, oven, microwave, dishwasher, and fridge freezer.
The bedroom is generous in size and includes a built in wardrobe. A large window offers peaceful views down Douglas Garden Mews to the church and enjoys the sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening with its westerly orientation.
The bathroom features a generous walk-in shower, is finished with stone wall tiles, and incorporates added comforts such as underfloor heating and a heated towel rail.
A cleverly integrated storage cupboard is discreetly tucked away in the wall space of the main room, offering additional storage or a spot for a washing machine.
Externally, residents' parking is available by permit granted by Edinburgh Council.
