Occupying the top floor of a distinguished Georgian terrace on Moray Place, this 1,600 sq ft apartment combines memorable historic detail with flexible living space. A private lift opens directly into the apartment, setting a tone of discreet exclusivity. The grand sitting room faces the landscaped Moray Place Gardens and connects via pocket doors to a versatile second reception room. The reception panelling salvaged from the Titanic’s sister ship is a striking, authentic feature that gives the apartment rare provenance.
Rooms are generously proportioned: a principal bedroom and a second double, plus a smaller third bedroom suitable as a nursery or home office. A turret-style study beneath an ornate cupola and a skylit dining room add character and unusual architectural interest. The kitchen is well planned with plentiful storage, including two walk-in pantries, and elevated city views. Far-reaching vistas to Fife enhance the sense of space and light.
Buyers should note practical considerations: the apartment is A-listed within the New Town conservation area, which will restrict alterations and could complicate refurbishment. The energy performance is poor (EPC rating F) and there is a single family bathroom, which may be limiting for three-bedroom households. Council tax is described as expensive. Overall, the property offers substantial period character and a unique historic narrative, suited to buyers who value location, proportions and original detail and who are prepared to manage listed-building limitations.
