Description

1 Portgower Place is a magnificent main door apartment with three double bedrooms set in the sought-after Stockbridge. Forming part of a charming Victorian purpose built terrace, the property is located in a highly sought after location, close to excellent amenities and schooling, and offers a fantastic opportunity for professionals, families and retirees alike.

The property has been lovingly maintained and upgraded by the current vendors, with additions including double glazing of the original sash and case windows throughout, oak wood flooring in several rooms, french doors onto the garden and a high quality kitchen installed in 2020.

To begin, the welcoming hallway gives access to all rooms. The sitting room lies at the front of the property and retains fine period features including ornate cornicing, a feature fireplace and working shutters.

The dining kitchen is an excellent room with ample space for both dining and entertaining. The french doors lead directly out to the large shared garden and fill the room with natural light. The new kitchen features a combination of useful wall and base units, Quartz worktops, a fantastic induction hob, Quooker hot water tap and several additional integrated appliances.

The spacious principal bedroom looks out to the rear shared garden and is complimented with an en suite shower room that enjoys underfloor heating and a walk-in rainfall shower. The space features high ceilings and two Edinburgh press cupboards. Bedroom two is located to the front of the property, and houses a beautiful feature fireplace with grey marble surround, alongside a further useful press. Bedroom three is a lovely bright space that may also be used as a dining room or home office.

The family bathroom is accessed via the hallway and features a heated towel rail, bath with overhead shower, a sink and W.C. The hallway also allows access to a large, full height store room, and a convenient utility room with washing machine, tumble dryer and ceiling mounted pulley.

Externally, the property benefits from a delightful shared garden which is quietly tucked away to the rear of the property and is complete with a useful garden shed. There is an enclosed area to the front of the property which offers an attractive private outdoor space to enjoy. The bike shed is also located here and provides a great additional storage space.

Resident's parking is available upon application.

Location

Portgower Place is a quiet street located directly off Raeburn Place, Stockbridge’s main high street.

Located in Stockbridge, 1 mile north west of the city centre, the area is characterised by its village feel with a number of independent coffee shops, boutiques and retailers along Raeburn Place.

It is a particularly green area and as such, is highly sought after, being so close to Inverleith Park (at the end of Portgower Place), as well as sports facilities at the Grange Sports Club (cricket, hockey, tennis & squash) as well as Edinburgh Accies for rugby. The Royal Botanic Gardens are also within 0.4 miles, and nearby Water of Leith offers a beautiful route for walking, running and cycling.

The Edinburgh Accies ground at Raeburn Place is famous for being the site of the first ever international rugby match in March 1871.

1 Portgower Place is in the catchment area for Stockbridge or St Mary’s RC Primary Schools. Broughton High School or St Thomas of Aquin RC High School are the options for secondary schools.

There are excellent independent schools nearby including Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, ESMS and St Georges School for Girls.

Stockbridge is one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after areas forming the northern section of Edinburgh’s New Town and less than one mile from Princes Street.

There is a large Waitrose in Comely Bank whilst the new development at Raeburn Place has a Dobbies garden centre, Co-op supermarket and fitness studio. Further shopping can be found at nearby Craigleith Retail Park which has a large M&S and Sainsbury’s.
