Summary - 2F, 1, DOUGLAS CRESCENT, EDINBURGH EH12 5BB
3 bed 1 bath Flat
Spacious Victorian home with high ceilings and private garden access.
B-listed Victorian crescent by John Chesser, built 1879
Set within a handsome B-listed Victorian crescent by John Chesser, this second-floor apartment combines period grandeur with contemporary interiors. High ceilings, large sash windows and ornate moldings create an elegant backdrop for the modern breakfasting kitchen, premium shower room and flexible living spaces. Two large double bedrooms plus a versatile third room or reception offer room to adapt for family living or home working.
Practical benefits include gas central heating, built-in storage, a secure entry system and a private ground-floor store cupboard. Residents can apply for controlled on-street permits (Zone 1) and may join Douglas Crescent Gardens for a small fee — a rare city-centre green space. Mobile signal is excellent and the property sits within easy walking distance of Edinburgh’s West End amenities.
There are important caveats: the building’s B-listed status will constrain alterations and may complicate maintenance or modernisation. The flat has a single three-piece shower room only, and traditional windows and period fabric may need upgrading for improved insulation. Council Tax Band F is expensive and the immediate area classifications indicate a mixed, cosmopolitan neighbourhood with student presence.
Overall this is a stylish, spacious city home for buyers who value character, location and adaptable living space, and who are comfortable managing the responsibilities associated with a listed, period property.
