Floor Plan
The flat is accessed via a well‑maintained communal stair with original stone steps, immediately setting an elegant tone on arrival. The apartment opens into a remarkable central hall, notable for its scale, exceptional ceiling height and abundance of natural light, drawn in through a newly replaced cupola above. Fine original detailing is evident throughout, including intricate architraves, original sanded timber floors and traditional cast iron radiators, all contributing to the apartment’s refined and timeless atmosphere. A useful coat cupboard is discreetly positioned off the hallway, providing practical everyday storage.
The accommodation flows gracefully from the central hall. To the front of the property is a magnificent sitting and dining room, framed by twin astragal sash windows overlooking Northumberland Street. Ornate cornicing and an original Georgian marble fireplace surround provide a dramatic yet inviting focal point, creating an outstanding space for both everyday living and entertaining. The room opens seamlessly into a superbly appointed, newly fitted kitchen, complete with handmade cabinetry, Silestone worktops and elegant brass‑toned fittings, including Perrin & Rowe brass taps. A Smeg four‑burner gas hob forms the centrepiece, with integrated fridge freezer and dishwasher, and space for a small breakfasting table.
Also positioned to the front is an elegant formal drawing room, offering further versatile reception space. This room features an additional original Georgian marble fireplace surround, astragal sash and case windows with working shutters, timber flooring and an attractive open press cupboard. From here, there are far‑reaching and particularly striking distant views across the Firth of Forth towards Fife - an outlook that is notably rare within the centre of the city and one that the current owners were consistently drawn to.
To the rear, the accommodation becomes notably calm and private. Three generous double bedrooms are arranged along a single corridor, all enjoying peaceful rear or gable‑end aspects. Each bedroom retains its original Georgian fireplace and sits conveniently alongside the family shower room, creating a well‑considered and coherent sleeping wing.
The principal bedroom is quietly positioned to the rear and benefits from a bright south‑facing aspect, complete with astragal windows, working shutters and slimline double glazing. The room is served by a stylish adjoining shower room fitted with a walk‑in shower, WC, wash hand basin and period‑style towel rail, naturally illuminated by a conservation rooflight supplied by The Rooflight Co. A further cupboard off the principal bedroom provides additional, highly practical storage.
A second newly fitted shower room is located internally off the hall and also benefits from overhead natural light via a conservation rooflight. Completing the accommodation is a discreet and practical utility cupboard housing a new Viessmann combi boiler, a stacked Miele washer and dryer, and a built‑in ventilation system - clear evidence of the depth, quality and attention to detail underpinning the renovation.
