9 Oxford Terrace, West End, Edinburgh EH4 1PX

Commanding one of Edinburgh's most prestigious addresses, this magnificent A-listed upper townhouse forms part of an elegant Georgian terrace, offering a rare opportunity to acquire a home of exceptional scale, character, and outlook. Believed to be the last retained townhouse on this iconic street, the property combines a rich architectural heritage with expansive living space and breathtaking views.

Arranged over four floors and boasting seven bedrooms, this exceptional home retains an abundance of original features including ornate cornicing, working shutters, a sweeping staircase, and an extraordinary cupola which floods the heart of the home with natural light. The formal rooms are truly impressive, with soaring ceilings and exquisite proportions, while the upper levels offer breathtaking panoramas — northwards over the city to Fettes College and the hills of Fife, and to the rear, direct views of Edinburgh Castle.

A substantial and welcoming entrance hallway with original Victorian floor tiles provides an impressive introduction to the home. The ground level includes a grand sitting/dining room to the front and a well-appointed kitchen to the rear, together creating an ideal layout for both entertaining and family living.

The formal drawing room is positioned on the first floor. It forms an exceptional space featuring triple floor-to-ceiling sash windows, ornate cornicing, an intricate ceiling rose, and beautifully preserved original timber flooring. The balcony outside the windows has been used by the current owners as a pleasant outside seating area. Also on this floor is the elegant principal bedroom, quietly positioned to the rear, which enjoys direct access to a sleek, contemporary shower room.

Three further double bedrooms, a shower room with steam and sound system, a bathroom with a luxurious jacuzzi bath, and a separate WC are situated on the second floor. Boasting elevated city views, the accommodation on the top level includes a generous double bedroom with WC off, two further bedrooms (one currently used as a home gym and the other as a study/home office), and a boiler room. Gas central heating is operated by a modern Worcester boiler.

Residents can apply for access to the beautifully maintained Dean Gardens for an annual fee of £185. Entry to the gardens is just a two minute walk away, and key holders can enjoy expansive lawns, a play park, riverside walkways along the Water of Leith, and peaceful seating areas.

On-street parking is available by way of a residents' parking permit.
