A magnificent Georgian ground-up townhouse over four floors with up to seven bedrooms, an impressive full-width drawing room with balcony, and access to Dean Gardens
Description
Commanding a prominent position on one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious addresses, this magnificent Georgian townhouse offers an exceptionally rare opportunity to acquire a substantial and beautifully presented family home extending to approximately 4,660 sq ft over four floors.
The property combines impressive period architecture and proportions with a flexible modern layout, capable of providing up to seven double bedrooms.
The property is approached via an impressive entrance vestibule, leading into a generous central hallway where a wealth of period detailing immediately sets the tone. Original Victorian floor tiles, ornate cornicing and a handsome staircase are complemented by the exceptional sense of volume and natural light found throughout the house.
At ground floor level, the accommodation is arranged particularly well for modern family life. To the front is a generously proportioned sitting / dining room, an elegant and versatile space with excellent proportions and large, full height windows flooding the space with light. A connecting door leads directly through to the kitchen at the rear, creating a particularly good flow between the principal living spaces and making the arrangement equally well suited to everyday family life and entertaining. The kitchen is well equipped and centred around a substantial island, currently designed with seating for informal dining but sufficiently generous to accommodate a family-sized dining table if preferred. A utility room and WC complete this level.
A half-landing provides access to useful additional storage area, before the staircase continues to the first floor. Here, the exceptional drawing room spans the full width of the property and is undoubtedly one of the home's most impressive spaces. Featuring superb proportions, elegant period detailing and an open outlook, it is a wonderful space in which to entertain or simply relax. A balcony provides a rare and particularly enjoyable outside space, ideal for a morning coffee or an evening tipple.
The principal bedroom is also located on this floor and is an impressive and peaceful retreat, with an outlook to the rear and a well-appointed en suite shower room. The en suite benefits from Jack and Jill access from the landing, providing additional convenience for family and guests.
The staircase continues to the second floor, where there are three further generous double bedrooms, together with a well-appointed shower room (which doubles as a steam room) and separate bathroom complete with jacuzzi bath. The accommodation continues to the third floor, where three additional large double bedrooms provide exceptional flexibility. One of these benefits from an en suite WC, while the remaining rooms could readily be configured according to the needs of the individual owner, whether as bedrooms, home offices, playrooms or additional family space.
A particular feature of the property is the extraordinary cupola above the central staircase, which floods the heart of the house with natural light and creates a striking architectural focal point. Original shutters, ornate cornicing, timber flooring and other period features are retained throughout, while the property has been carefully maintained and presented to provide a comfortable and sophisticated home.
The combination of scale, flexible accommodation and impressive entertaining space makes this an exceptional family house, with the potential to provide up to seven bedrooms without compromising on the principal living accommodation. Its position also offers convenient access to both Waverley & Haymarket railway station and several tram stops, while residents can apply for access to the nearby Dean Gardens, providing an attractive additional green space within easy walking distance.
