Summary - 45, ST LEONARDS HILL KY11 3AH
4 bed 3 bath Apartment
Spacious four-bedroom period apartment with Firth of Forth views and extensive communal grounds.
Approximately 3,107 sq ft of period first-floor accommodation
Set within a distinguished Italianate mansion, this exceptionally large upper-villa apartment offers roughly 3,107 sq ft of predominantly period accommodation and far-reaching views toward the Firth of Forth and its bridges. The apartment occupies the entire first floor, accessed via the building’s grand original staircase, and retains many historic features including high ceilings, large bay windows and classical stonework that create abundant natural light and character.
Accommodation includes a substantial reception hall, drawing room, kitchen/breakfast room, and a versatile dining room that doubles as a third double bedroom. The principal bedroom and bedroom two each have en suite shower rooms; a fourth bedroom/study and separate family bathroom complete the layout. An extensive floored loft provides significant storage, reached by an internal ladder and hatch.
Practical strengths include freehold tenure, established communal grounds set in several acres, on-site car parking and the potential to negotiate a single garage separately. Mobile signal is excellent and the property has a C EPC rating. There is clear appeal for buyers seeking a spacious period home with sweeping views and flexible internal space.
Notable drawbacks are factual and important: broadband speeds are reported as slow, the wider area is classified as very deprived which may affect resale and local services, and a garage is not guaranteed without further negotiation. As with many sizeable period properties, ongoing maintenance and sympathetic upgrades may be required to preserve original features and improve energy performance. Loft access is via ladder, which may limit frequent use. Council tax band details are not provided here.
