Manor Place, West End, Edinburgh, United Kingdom, EH3

Elegant and meticulously upgraded three-bedroom garden apartment with private outdoor space and separate studio arrangement in the heart of the West End

Description

56b Manor Place is a wonderfully atmospheric and beautifully presented lower-ground residence, set within one of Edinburgh’s most admired West End addresses. The property combines the grandeur and scale associated with classic Georgian architecture with a warm, highly individual interior style.

The accommodation is arranged over one level and offers a superb balance of formal entertaining space, practical everyday living and private bedroom accommodation. Of particular note is the impressive drawing room, a room of excellent proportions with high ceilings, handsome detailing, a striking fireplace and a confident decorative scheme. The use of deep painted joinery, elegant lighting, timber storage alcoves and richly textured furnishings creates a room with both presence and comfort. The ample storage has been cleverly configured to create additional working space on the east wall as well for further modern convenience.

The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with a stylish finish, featuring dark cabinetry, brass-toned hardware, pale work surfaces and a Belfast-style sink. Tall sash-style windows bring natural light into the space and provide an attractive outlook towards the courtyard, giving the room a calm and characterful feel. The kitchen connects well with the adjoining dining area, creating an excellent setting for further relaxed entertaining.

The principal bedroom is particularly generous in scale with an alcove for freestanding furniture and potential for built in wardrobe conversion. This is supported by another well-designed and generous double bedroom overlooking the rear patio. A contemporary and upgraded family shower room services both rooms.

Completing the internal accommodation is a large storage room with custom built storage that can be flexibly used as an impressive office or guest space. There is also a separate utility room.

The cellars have been converted to accommodate a third bedroom in a separate studio arrangement. This offers flexibility not often seen in period homes and lends itself to both guest use or as a potential income generator.

Externally, the property benefits from private patio areas to the front and rear with a south-west facing private rear garden a highlight of the outdoor space on offer. Mature and well looked after, this is a real oasis that betrays the wonderful central location and the bustle of the city.

Haymarket Station is approximately 0.4 miles away, providing mainline rail services, while the Edinburgh Trams offer direct connections to Edinburgh Airport in around 30 minutes.

Excellent green spaces are all within easy reach. The picturesque Water of Leith Walkway (0.3 miles) and the historic Dean Village (0.5 miles) are just a short stroll away, while Princes Street Gardens (0.7 miles) and the open spaces of the New Town provide further opportunities for recreation. This combination of outstanding connectivity, beautiful period surroundings and excellent lifestyle amenities firmly establishes the West End as one of Edinburgh's most desirable residential addresses.

The area is also exceptionally well served by both private and state schooling.
