12/2 Lennox Street, Edinburgh, EH4 1QA

The property

12/2 Lennox Street, a beautiful townhouse conversion, extends some 180 sq. metres. Classic-contemporary interiors complement original features, which include sash windows with shutters, intricate cornices and a marble fireplace. The shared vestibule flows into the entrance hall with heritage-inspired decor and column-style radiators. The drawing room is flooded with natural light from a bay window to the southwest. At the focal point of the room is a marble fireplace and detailed cornicing trims the ceiling. From the hall a short flight of stairs descends to a mid-level landing, which accommodates the master bedroom and luxurious bathroom. The master bedroom boasts a feature fireplace flanked by an Edinburgh Press, plus a bright walk-in wardrobe. The chic bathroom features a roll-top bath paired and a wall-to-wall mirror. Downstairs there are three further double bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a family room with access to the rear patio and garden; there is also a shower room on this level. Completing the lower ground floor is the minimalist dining kitchen, which affords access to the rear garden via the separate utility room. The kitchen is fitted with modern white cabinetry, a central island and a range of integrated appliances. The property benefits from gas central heating and traditional timber-framed sash windows (some with original shutters). Externally there is a private walled garden to the rear with a dining terrace and a vast lawn bound by mature beds. The suntrap patio to the front is accessible via external steps and therefore offers an alternative entrance to the property. This private patio also accommodates a dry-lined storage cellar. Residents of Lennox Street are eligible for private membership to Dean Gardens, subject to a modest fee. Controlled residents’ parking (Zone 5) is available directly adjacent. Edinburgh’s prestigious New Town is one of the capital’s most sought-after locations. Right in the heart of the city and never more than a few minutes’ walk from all the main attractions, residents have an unrivalled range of local services and amenities right on their doorstep. The New Town enjoys an excellent range of private and state schooling from nursery to senior level, and is particularly well placed for some of the country’s leading private schools including Fettes and The Edinburgh Academy. The area boasts outstanding public transport links throughout the city and beyond by means of numerous bus routes, the new tram line between York Place and Edinburgh Airport, and rail services at nearby Waverley Station.
