The south-facing home enjoys spacious, light-filled rooms and carefully curated décor that complements its historic character and period refinement. It features two reception rooms and a separate garden room, a bright and airy breakfasting kitchen, and a modern shower room. The property also has excellent storage, as well as the benefit of a private garden. Part of a sought-after conservation area in Newington, it has a highly desirable location too. Cameron Toll Shopping Centre is a mere stroll away and the Hermitage of Braid and Blackford Hill Nature Reserve is within easy walking distance as well, offering lots of scope to escape the bustle of the city.

Entrance – A wonderful first impression with original features

The Victorian building immediately catches the eye with its exquisite architectural flourishes. Moving inside, the shared entrance opens to a communal vestibule while the apartment's front door (beautifully framed by an artistic stained-glass window) flows through to the welcoming hall. Here, original floor tiles are paired alongside sympathetic wallpaper with floral patterning. It provides built-in storage and a wonderful first impression.

Reception rooms -Victorian elegance meets modern appeal

The living room perfectly captures Victorian elegance while maintaining modern appeal. It enjoys traditional-inspired styling and a bold feature wall reminiscent of William Morris interiors. Intricate ceiling plasterwork and detailed cornicing draw the eyeline to the lofty proportions, as a south-facing bay window floods the large room in natural light. An imposing stone mantle piece with real-flame gas fire and relined chimney adds a cosy and characterful finish.

A dining room provides a second reception area for sociable dinner parties. It has an easy-upkeep, wood-style floor and a bright accent wall set against a neutral backdrop, creating a cheerful environment. It also features a generous walk-in store and fitted cabinets providing useful storage for crockery sets and the like. Externally accessed, there is a garden room to the home’s rear as well, which has full-height, dual-aspect windows to soak up the garden ambience whatever the weather.

Kitchen – Generous cabinet storage and luxury worktops

Just a few steps down from the dining room, the dual-aspect breakfasting kitchen is equipped with a generous range of white cabinets and luxurious worktops. Bright splashback tiles which complement the flooring add a welcomed dash colour to the aesthetic, while integrated Siemens appliances ensure a sleek finish (ceramic hob, slimline extractor, oven ,combi-microwave and fridge/freezer). It also provides understairs storage, rear garden access, and a fitted breakfast bar for morning coffee.

Bedrooms – A calming ambience and iconic views over Edinburgh’s skyline

Finished in white and with a tasteful accent wall, the principal bedroom has a calming ambience, as well as a spacious footprint for bedside furnishings. It is easily accessible on the ground floor, and has the additional benefit of a press cupboard and fitted wardrobes providing generous clothes storage. A picture rail and detailed cornice work bring further refinement.

The second bedroom is on the first floor, reached via a staircase from the dining room. It is neutrally decorated and offers homeowners flexible dimensions to suit their needs, ensuring excellent scope for creative use (such as an office).
