Set across the first and second floors of a B‑listed Victorian crescent, this substantial double‑upper flat offers generous, well‑proportioned rooms and classic period detail. High ceilings, two large reception rooms with striking fireplaces, a shaker‑inspired breakfasting kitchen and a galleried landing with a large rooflight give the apartment a strong sense of space and light. Three king‑size bedrooms plus a fourth double room and a versatile gym/box room suit family living, home working or creative use.
The home is in a prestigious New Town World Heritage location, within walking distance of the West End and city‑centre amenities. Practical positives include access to the private Glencairn Crescent garden (small fee), freehold tenure, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — all useful for modern family life or professional occupiers. The property’s overall footprint is generous (approximately 2,559 sq ft) and provides flexibility to adapt rooms to changing needs.
Important practical points: the building’s B‑listed status will restrict alterations and may complicate upgrades or extensions. Council tax is described as quite expensive, and the wider area classification notes very high deprivation, which prospective buyers should consider. EPC rating C is recorded. Buyers seeking substantial renovation potential should factor in listed‑building consent requirements and possible additional costs.
