This impressive double upper flat forms part of an elegant semi-detached Victorian villa, located within the popular Trinity area of north Edinburgh. It offers substantial and flexible family accommodation ideally positioned for access to highly regarded local schooling, the Royal Botanic Garden and the shoreline at Wardie Bay.
Accessed via a private main door entrance, the property opens to a broad ground floor hallway with two large cloak cupboards. A striking staircase with glass balustrade ascends to the main accommodation, and is framed by a spectacular cupola above—an architectural feature that floods the central stairwell with natural light and highlights the ornate cornicing that lines the upper walls. On the first floor, a bright bay-windowed sitting room with corner aspect, showcases fine period features including ornate cornicing, working shutters and a marble fireplace. The kitchen sits to the rear and has a pleasant open outlook, with ample cabinetry and worktop space, an integrated five-burner hob, oven and extractor, as well as a traditional larder and space for dining.
There are five flexible bedrooms across both levels, all well proportioned. One of the first-floor bedrooms would equally make an excellent family room or formal dining room and includes a feature fireplace, while the principal bedroom benefits from an en suite bathroom. A contemporary shower room, complete with walk-in shower and heated towel rail, also serves this level.
The second floor offers three further spacious double bedrooms and a family bathroom with both bath and a separate shower cubical. A box room with window provides excellent flexibility—ideal as a home office, dressing or storage room.
The property is fitted with gas central heating and double glazing.
To the front of the property, a gated driveway provides secure off-street parking, and there is scope to landscape or tailor the outdoor space to suit a buyer’s needs.
