Property highlight: Main-door duplex apartment with a private garden, located in the sought-after New Town

This rarely available main-door duplex apartment forms part of an A-listed early Victorian building (1860) designed by architects Peddie and Kinnear. It is a striking four/five-bedroom family home that boasts the perfect combination of historic character and tasteful interiors. It features bright and expansive rooms, with high ceilings and period details – all lovingly decorated in light neutral hues. Furthermore, the substantial home offers excellent versatility and it boasts two grand reception rooms, as well as a conservatory and office/bedroom extensions. It also has an exceptional and rarely available private family garden, in addition to use of Claremont Crescent Gardens, which is shared by the local residents. Situated away from the main road, the home is on a quiet and peaceful crescent in the highly sought-after New Town conservation area. It provides easy access to all the city centre offers, and is within easy reach of fashionable areas like Stockbridge, the Royal Botanic Garden, Inverleith Park, and The Shore. Reception Rooms - Inside the period property, homeowners have a choice of reception rooms to enjoy. The living room is the main reception area and it is easy to see why. It has impressive proportions for a variety of comfy furnishings and it is decorated in sumptuous tones which accentuate a bright and airy ambience. It also features engineered oak flooring and a marble fireplace with a multi-fuel stove for cosy evenings. Double doors lead from here into a charming and versatile conservatory for admiring the garden whatever the weather. In addition, there is a private office nearby, with garden views and dual-aspect windows. Upstairs, a broad upper hall provides an alternate entrance to the property before leading through double doors into a sitting room. This additional reception area is large enough for both lounge and dining furniture, and it is enhanced by understated neutral décor. It is fronted by a sweeping bay window for a light-filled ambience and it is framed by a period feature fireplace. The attractive space is finished with intricate cornice work for added decoration. Dining Kitchen - The dining kitchen has spacious dimensions, accommodating a large table and chairs for family meals and lively dinner parties. It is also generously appointed with cream-coloured cabinets and deluxe Silestone worksurfaces, providing ample storage and workspace. Furthermore, it is a light and airy environment – ideal for cooking – and it is enhanced by a crisp neutral palette and cream splashback tiles. It comes with a selection of appliances. Bedrooms - The four double bedrooms are divided equally between the ground and lower ground floors. Each room continues the high standards of the home, ensuring a comfortable environment for a peaceful night's sleep. Every room also benefits from generous floorspace for a wide choice of bedside furnishings, including study/vanity areas. With its very large footprint, the principal bedroom particularly stands out, especially with its highly ornate cornice work drawing attention to the lofty proportions. The second bedroom, on the other hand, has the advantage of wall-to-wall fitted wardrobes. If required, the office could alternatively be used as a fifth double bedroom with en-suite. Bathrooms - With two contemporary shower rooms and an attractive family bathroom (with overhead shower), the home ensures convenience and minimal waiting times. The bathroom has built-in storage, and is set near the second and fourth bedrooms on the lower ground floor, whilst one shower room is by the office, and the other is upstairs by the principal bedroom. All three feature quality fixtures and premium tile work, finished with a keen eye for detail. Both shower rooms have rainfall showers too. In addition, the ground-floor shower room also has a utility cupboard, housing the gas boiler and plumbing for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Gardens & Parking - The home is spoilt for choice when it comes to idyllic garden spaces. To the front, there is a private paved area for potted plants, along with two generous cellar stores, one of which is a double cellar. There is also a private rear garden, which features a patio and a sweeping lawn, hugged by mature plants and trees. Best of all, it captures an abundance of sun throughout the day. In addition, local homeowners have shared use of the private Claremont Crescent Gardens – a massive (and spectacular) outdoor space that is laid to lawn and dotted with benches. It is a natural oasis in the heart of the city centre. Furthermore, residents have access to controlled permit parking (Zone N1) – an essential feature in the city centre.
