12/1 Inverleith Terrace, EDINBURGH, EH3 5NS

Set within the prime residential district of Inverleith, just a stone’s throw from the Royal Botanic Garden, the vibrant cafés and boutiques of Stockbridge, and excellent connections to the city centre, this exceptional Georgian home offers a rare opportunity to acquire a property of both character and distinction.

Rich in period elegance, the property showcases a wealth of handsome original features, from its grand staircase to the impressive cupola above, which floods the central hall with natural light and creates a wonderful sense of arrival.

Accessed via a shared entrance with just one other property, the home opens into a welcoming reception area before rising to the principal living accommodation. To the front, the magnificent drawing room is bathed in natural light from three large sash and case windows, framing a lovely leafy outlook across Inverleith Terrace. A striking marble fireplace with an inset electric fire creates an elegant focal point, while the generous proportions make it an ideal space for entertaining or relaxing.

To the rear, a second reception room—currently arranged as a dining and sitting room—enjoys elevated views across Edinburgh’s skyline towards Edinburgh Castle and beyond. A beautifully appointed Chesneys gas fire adds warmth and character, making this a truly special space.

The adjoining galley kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with quartz worktops and bespoke cabinetry, cleverly concealing the freestanding fridge/freezer and boiler. High-specification appliances, including a Gaggenau oven and induction hob, provide both style and practicality. A convenient guest WC completes this level.

Upstairs, the accommodation continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms. The principal bedroom, positioned to the rear, benefits from fitted wardrobes, excellent storage, beautiful open views, and direct access to a Jack-and-Jill shower room. To the front are two further bedrooms, including a generous double and a smaller bedroom currently used as a home office or study.

Offered to the market with no onward chain, this expansive and beautifully balanced home effortlessly combines timeless Georgian grandeur with modern comfort and practicality.
