Occupying a prime position on one of Edinburgh's most prestigious residential terraces, this elegant ground floor property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a substantial period property on the highly sought-after Doune Terrace. Currently operating as offices and offered for sale in its existing form, the property benefits from a pending application for change of use to residential accommodation, which is expected to be approved by Edinburgh City Council. Thereafter, the property would offer outstanding potential to be transformed into a magnificent city apartment, subject to any further consents required for a purchaser's preferred layout and design.
Extending to approximately 1,028 sq ft (95.5 sq m), the accommodation retains a number of attractive original features and proportions synonymous with Edinburgh's finest Georgian homes. The principal front room, currently used as Office 1, is a particularly impressive space, benefitting from grand proportions, excellent natural light and delightful views over the beautifully maintained Bank Gardens and beyond towards the Firth of Forth and Fife. This room would create a stunning reception room or drawing room within a residential conversion.
To the rear, a second generous room, currently configured as Office 2, features beautiful parquet herringbone-pattern natural wood flooring and enjoys a peaceful outlook over a mature private garden. Given its size and proportions, this room would make an exceptional principal bedroom within a one-bedroom conversion and would likely remain the principal bedroom in many two-bedroom layouts.
The welcoming hallway and corridor still retain sections of the property's original flagstone flooring, remnants of the building's historic character that are currently covered but could be reinstated and showcased as a striking design feature within any future renovation.
The flexible layout, combined with the property's impressive proportions, presents an exciting blank canvas for purchasers seeking to create a bespoke city residence in a truly exceptional location.
