A beautifully presented south-facing two-bedroom apartment with a full-width terrace, stunning Meadows views, and secure underground parking in the prestigious Quartermile development.

Description

Flat 38, 7 Simpson Loan is a beautifully presented contemporary apartment, positioned on the fifth floor of an architecturally acclaimed, Foster & Partners designed building within the highly desirable Quartermile development. Offering an exceptional standard of modern city living on the edge of the Meadows, the property enjoys a peaceful setting away from the bustle of the city centre, whilst remaining superbly convenient for dining, leisure, entertainment and cultural attractions.

Thoughtfully designed throughout, the apartment comprises two generous double bedrooms and two bathrooms (one en-suite), complemented by an expansive open plan living space and an impressive private terrace. Having been only occasionally used, the property retains a “nearly new” feel and is presented in excellent condition.

The heart of the home lies in the striking open plan kitchen, dining and living area, extending to over 10 metres in length and carefully configured to create a seamless and sociable living environment. This superb space is both light and spacious, comfortably accommodating areas for relaxation and dining, and offering an ideal setting for entertaining. The living area enjoys a desirable south-facing aspect, receiving sunlight throughout the day from morning until sunset. Full-height glazing enhances the sense of space and frames far-reaching views over the Meadows, across Bruntsfield and Marchmont, and beyond to the Pentland Hills and the Southern Uplands.

A particular highlight of the apartment is the substantial private terrace, accessed directly from the living area. Also south facing and spanning the full width of the property, this exceptional outdoor space provides a seamless extension of the internal accommodation, creating a superb environment for indoor/outdoor living. The elevated position affords uninterrupted panoramic views and a tranquil setting for al fresco dining and relaxation.

The kitchen is sleek and contemporary, forming part of the bespoke interior design by Foster & Partners. It is finished to a high specification with integrated Siemens appliances, including a wine cooler, alongside high-quality Italian fixed wall units by Calligaris. Clean lines, premium materials and generous storage ensure both style and practicality.

The principal bedroom is well-proportioned and benefits from a stylish en-suite shower room, creating a comfortable and private retreat. The second bedroom is equally spacious and versatile, suitable for guests, family, or home working. A well-appointed main bathroom is located off the hall, both bathrooms reflecting the same high-quality bespoke design.

Further accommodation includes a welcoming entrance vestibule and hall, along with a separate utility cupboard providing practical storage and laundry facilities. The property is designed with efficiency in mind and benefits from relatively low energy costs.

The development itself offers an exceptional level of amenity and security, including a 24-hour concierge service, secure entry system, and CCTV coverage throughout the common areas. Both the apartment and communal areas are fully sprinklered, providing additional peace of mind. The property further benefits from a secure underground parking space, with direct lift access to the apartment level, ensuring both convenience and security.

Overall, the apartment offers a superb balance of space, light and contemporary design. With its high specification, outstanding views and tranquil yet central location, this property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a refined modern home within one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious developments
