Located on Duncan Street, this duplex apartment within Bartholomew House offers a unique and architecturally striking property. With a mezzanine level, contemporary finishes and modern appliances this property’s creative blend of form, function and style make for a wonderful home in the Newington area of Edinburgh’s south. Built in 1911 by John George Bartholomew for his mapmaking company and a home for the Edinburgh Geographical Institute, Bartholomew House's central section frontage was built with sandstone Corinthian columns transported from Falcon Hall in Morningside.
Residents access via a grand communal entrance, creating an impressive arrival and setting the tone for the home’s distinctive style.
At the heart of the home, the open plan living and dining area with original high ceilings and an abundance of natural light make for a welcoming entertaining space. With Bosch intergrated appliances the sleek kitchen with quartz counter tops complements the open plan central living space. Accessed via a designated staircase and overlooking the centre of the property, the mezzanine floor adds a dramatic design element while providing a versatile area ideal for a home office, studio, or secondary living zone. Completing the first floor of the accommodation, two well-proportioned double bedrooms, one with ensuite, one with built in storage as well as well-appointed shower room lie adjacent to the entrance.
The main staircase entered via the hallway leads to the third double bedroom, and into a handy office/ work room with skylights and further storage. This offers a sense of separation from the rest of the accommodation, ideal for guests, or a perfect home working space.
With its layered and unique layout, intelligent use of space, this low-maintenance duplex offers a rare opportunity to secure a home with character, flexibility, and architectural depth.
The property also benefits from a rarely available private parking space with direct access into the building.
