4 bedroom apartment

Tucked away on a peaceful, tree-lined terrace in Edinburgh’s prestigious West End, an elegant 4 bedroom and 4 bathroom top floor flat, with lift access.

This remarkable top floor flat forms part of an elegant Victorian townhouse, designed by the celebrated architect John Chesser around 1880. A rare opportunity as the property displays impressive proportions and beautifully preserved period detail throughout.

Accessed via a traditional stairway and a charming silent cage lift, the flat opens into a bright and welcoming reception hallway with a formal dining area, illuminated by elegant cupolas overhead. To the front, the generous sitting room enjoys a leafy, south-facing aspect and features an original fireplace with a living flame fire, an inviting space for both everyday living and entertaining. The kitchen blends classic style with modern functionality. Marble worktops, and a range of appliances, including a gas range cooker create a practical and stylish space to create your meals at home.

The sleeping accommodation comprises four well-sized bedrooms. The principal bedroom to the rear enjoys rooftop views over to Fettes College and a private en-suite shower room. A second double bedroom to the front also benefits from its own en-suite. A third and very generous double bedroom to the front features another period fireplace, while a rear-facing single bedroom provides flexible space, ideal as a guest room or home office. Two additional bath/shower rooms, including one with a large round jacuzzi bath, completing the layout.

Throughout, traditional features such as panelled doors, ornate cornicing and high skirtings are complemented by modern upgrades including slimline double-glazed sash and case windows and a gas-fired combination boiler providing modern efficiency. Zoned residents’ parking is also available to the front of the property.
