Set on the second floor of an elegant B‑listed Victorian crescent, this generous two-bedroom apartment combines classic period detail with contemporary finishes. Large south‑facing sash windows and a bay in the living room frame views towards St Mary’s Cathedral and flood the principal rooms with light. The living room’s gas living‑flame fireplace and high ceilings reinforce the property’s confident, characterful feel.
Internally the flat offers well‑proportioned rooms across approximately 93 sq m (1,004 sq ft). A refitted, high‑spec kitchen/dining room overlooks the rear gardens and roofs, with integrated appliances and a calm aspect ideal for family meals or home working. The principal bedroom faces the garden; the second double is bright and airy. A contemporary shower room provides generous storage via a ceiling hatch. Underfloor insulation and insulated oak flooring improve comfort and energy efficiency (EPC C).
This is an attractive option for families and professionals seeking West End living: local independent schools, cafés, restaurants and the Water of Leith walkway are all within easy reach. Residents can apply for access to the private Eglinton & Glencairn Gardens for a modest annual fee, a particular draw for dog owners and those wanting green outdoor space in the city.
Practicalities to note: the building’s B‑listed status means external and some internal changes will be constrained and may require listed‑building consent. The property is factored (Myreside Factoring) and uses permit/metered on‑street parking. Council Tax Band E and the local area’s higher deprivation indices are factual context for the neighbourhood. The flat is freehold, offers fast broadband and excellent mobile signal.
