Flat 2, 7 Inverleith Row, Inverleith, Edinburgh, EH3

Wonderfully light and spacious duplex apartment situated on the first and second floors of an impressive detached Villa in a highly sought after location, with delightful views

Description

Inverleith Row is a wonderfully light, bright and spacious duplex apartment set on the first and second floors of an impressive detached stone built Villa. The accommodation is immaculately presented and well proportioned throughout with charming views to both the east and west over the private shared rear garden to the Royal Botanic Garden.

The double upper apartment with wonderful views and exceptionally light accommodation, benefits from plenty of natural light through the day with both east and west facing aspects. Much of the original charm has been retained with many features typical of the era in which it was built, whilst being successfully combined with and complimented by many contemporary fixtures and fittings catering for modern living.

The property overlooks the wonderful and well maintained landscaped shared gardens to the rear with views beyond to the enticing Royal Botanic Garden whilst to the front there are views to Arthur’s Seat.

A beautifully presented shared hall and stair provides access to the entrance to the flat, with a welcoming hall with exposed timber stair rising to the upper floor. From the hall there is access to the sizeable home office which could be used as a generous fourth double bedroom. The stair is well-lit by the sizable cupola and a window which allows for plenty of light in the hall and broad upper landing. The accommodation radiates from the landing, with the exceptional west facing open plan dining kitchen and sitting room offering superb living space. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with a range of units and extensive work surfaces, while there is plenty of space for a large dining table and seating area. There is also a utility room situated off the kitchen.

There are three comfortable double bedrooms also on this floor, of which one of them is currently used as an additional sitting room. Two of the bedrooms benefit from en suite bathrooms and built-in wardrobes, while the third bedroom has built-in book shelves. In addition there is a family bathroom as well as useful storage cupboards. The apartment benefits from recently installed double glazed windows on the upper floor.

The property benefits from shared ownership of the private west facing walled garden to the rear of the property, which has been beautifully landscaped and is well-stocked with a variety of plants, shrubs and tress. The building is set back from the road by a shared front garden. The property also benefits from a cellar to the front, accessed via the basement, which provides useful additional storage.
