The property

From the moment you step through the electric gates of 12 St Thomas Road, you will feel the unique and contemporary appeal of this striking home. Nestled among some of Edinburgh's most historic Georgian and Victorian architecture, great care has been taken to ensure this elegant property blends seamlessly with its exclusive surroundings. Built with natural stone and traditional slate, it has a generous internal floor area of over 250-square meters and has been thoughtfully designed to provide luxurious family accommodation in beautiful, leafy surroundings. The Grange Conservation Area is one of the most desirable addresses in the capital, playing host to the city's finest private and state schools, including the nearby George Watson's College. The property is within walking distance of the boutiques and bistros of Bruntsfield and Morningside, yet retains a sense of peaceful seclusion thanks to its exclusive location. Triple glazed windows, gas central heating and under floor heating at entry level give the property high energy efficiency. The interior architecture has been designed to offer the homeowner open plan living on the ground floor which can also be divided to create traditional formal rooms if desired. The bright lounge has a triple window to the front and large glass sliding doors to the rear garden. There is a stylish electric fire which is remotely controlled and concealed sliding doors lead through to the dining / family room. Exuding quality and space, the stunning kitchen is fitted with a wide range of German-built white matt units with a large central island housing the 5-ring induction hob. Appliances include oven, microwave, dishwasher, fridge/freezer, wine cooler and boiling water tap. A side window and large glass sliding doors provide an abundance of natural light. The ground floor also features a cloakroom; a toilet with Porcelanosa sanitaryware, along with a full walk-in larder/boot room and utility room. A striking staircase and upper landing with vaulted ceiling and clever window design again ensures natural light floods the upper floors of the property. The master bedroom has a twin window to the front, with stunning views towards Arthur's Seat, a walk in dressing room with fitted wardrobes, a large en-suite shower room with Porcelanosa sanitaryware and wall and floor tiling and a walk-in shower unit. The guest bedroom overlooks the front of the home and comes complete with a walk-in cupboard and en-suite shower room finished to the same exacting standards of the master bedroom. There are two further double bedrooms, both to the rear and both with fitted cupboards, as well as a fifth bedroom on the ground floor. The spacious and luxurious bathroom completes the accommodation and has a 3-piece white suite with skylight window and separate walk-in shower.
