This exceptionally large two-bedroom penthouse occupies roughly 1547 sq ft on Colinton Road, delivering generous rooms, abundant rooflight glazing and a bright open-plan kitchen/living/dining area. The development is new build with modern finishes, integrated appliances and lift access, plus communal gardens and terraces offering sought-after outdoor space for relaxing or entertaining.
The layout suits buyers who prioritise space and light — flexible multi-use areas and built-in storage help maximise the impressive floor area. Local amenities are strong: green spaces (Water of Leith, Craiglockhart Hill), sports facilities and good transport links put outdoor leisure and city access within easy reach. Broadband speeds and mobile signal are reported as good, supporting home working and streaming.
Be clear on a few material points: this apartment has two bedrooms but only one bathroom, and the council tax is estimated at band G. The wider area classification notes pockets of deprivation; buyers should visit to assess local streets and services firsthand. The listing price of £625,000 reflects the unusually large penthouse footprint and new-build specification.
Overall, this penthouse will suit buyers seeking a substantial, light-filled apartment with contemporary finishes, strong outdoor and leisure neighbours, and lift-served access. It offers clear lifestyle appeal but check the single-bathroom layout and local area factors against personal needs before committing.
