5/4 Grosvenor Gardens boasts over 100sq. meters of floorspace, where the tastefully modernised interiors seamlessly blend with outstanding period features.
The secure communal entrance of the building opens into a luxurious stairwell brimming with period details. A beautiful oak, carpeted staircase lit by a large cupola leads to the second floor. Once inside, you are welcomed by neutral interiors and solid oak flooring. A long hallway, with built-in storage flows into the vast open plan living and dining room. This spacious reception area is flooded with natural light from a large bay window with traditional timber panelling, offering views of the nearby Victorian St Mary’s Music School. The room is filled with Victorian features: egg-and-dart cornicing, original doors, a soaring ceiling, an Edinburgh Press, and deep skirting boards, whilst a living flame gas fire, set in a traditional surround, creates a wonderful focal point. At the far end of the hall is a stylish modern kitchen with underfloor heating, featuring crisp white cabinets framed black worktops and an impressive range of integrated appliances.
The property comes with three generous double bedrooms. The master bedroom benefits from a large town window and ornate cornicing with views down to the rear gardens. The second bedroom is also a very spacious double, currently used as a sitting room. The third bedroom, again an airy double, comes with an opening skylight and a built-in cupboard. Completing the home is a modern and bright three piece bathroom.
The property further benefits from gas central heating by way of a newly installed condensing boiler with a transferable five year warranty. Residents of 5 Grosvenor Gardens can have access to a communal garden. Controlled parking with a residents’ permit is available at the front of the home (Zone 1).
Boasting fine Georgian and Victorian architecture, delightful crescents, a reputation as Edinburgh’s cultural hub and its close proximity to the very heart of the capital, it’s not hard to see why the West End is such a desirable place to live. A short stroll will take you to Haymarket station, Edinburgh Castle, the National Galleries, and shopping outlets. The immediate area offers independent shops, coffee houses, delicatessens, and restaurants. Edinburgh’s financial centre, as well as its reputable universities, are on your doorstep.
Its excellent location means that most of the city can be reached by either foot or by bicycle. Public transport is within striking distance, including the Haymarket transport hub, with access to trains, buses and the tramline (offering convenient access to the airport). No less than 20 different bus routes are on offer with regular day and night schedules. The property falls within the catchment area of Roseburn Primary and Craigmount High, with many of Edinburgh’s finest independent schools situated within less than a 10-minute commute.
