26/3 Viewforth, Bruntsfield, Edinburgh, EH10 4FF

Two-bedroom duplex apartment set within a landmark B-listed conversion in the heart of Bruntsfield.

Forming part of the B-listed former Boroughmuir High School at 26 Viewforth, this impressive duplex apartment sits within one of Edinburgh’s most recognisable early 20th-century buildings. Designed by renowned architect J.A. Carfrae and completed in 1914, the development is widely admired and has been thoughtfully converted into a unique collection of high-specification homes, blending historic character with contemporary living.

The apartment is situated on the south-west facing front of the building and is accessed by a main door in the building’s north courtyard.

On the ground floor, the well-presented apartment welcomes you with a good-sized entrance hallway with cloak and under-stair cupboards and a utility cupboard housing a Siemens washer-dryer. The very spacious open-plan lounge, kitchen and dining area offers double height ceilings and refurbished original windows with integrated shutters and remote-controlled electric blinds. The kitchen is fitted with modern Siemens appliances, including an integrated dishwasher, fridge/freezer, induction hob, microwave/oven and single oven. A pop-up power socket adds convenience in this beautifully designed space. Also on the ground floor is a double bedroom, complete with built-in wardrobes and fold away full length mirror. This room offers versatility for possible use as a home office. The well-appointed bathroom features a three-piece suite and over-bath shower.

Ascending to the first floor, a bright landing is illuminated by natural light via a window into the main living quarters. The principal bedroom is of generous size and benefits from a balcony with double sliding doors which overlook the living space below and enhance the overall sense of light and openness. Adjacent to the bedroom is a dressing room equipped with fitted wardrobes and full length mirror. The en-suite shower room complements the upper floor's finish and includes a walk-in double shower cubicle.

Double glazing, with sash & case to the front, and a gas central heating system ensure year-round comfort. The communal garden provides additional outdoor space, and the property includes a private storage cage at ground level. Parking is generous with an allocated space and visitor availability. The property’s well-maintained condition offers a move-in-ready experience, and the sale is offered with no onward chain.
