ACCOMMODATION:

19 Rothesay Terrace is a spacious three-bedroomed property offering plenty of design scope, subject to planning consents, that would allow for the creation of a wonderful family home. The ground floor accommodation boasts rooms of grand proportions with many original period features.

The spacious accommodation is as follows:

▪     Entrance Vestibule: Access to the corner property is from a wide pavement on the terraced crescent that faces the private residents’ garden. Stone steps leads up to the grand classical main front door that opens into an entrance vestibule with an original tiled floor. An inner glass-paned door opens into the spacious entrance hall.

▪      Hall: The L-shaped hallway runs the length of the property accessing all the accommodation. Partially wood-panelled, the high-ceiling hall features ornate cornicework and an original working fireplace with a wood mantelpiece and an inset cast iron decorative surround with blue tiling. The hall also boasts a dining recess adjacent to the kitchen.

▪     Shower Room: Next to the front door, the bathroom features rich cornicework, a large, frosted window, a shower cubicle, wash basin & WC.

▪      Principal Bedroom: Currently used as a second reception room, this generously sized room could easily become the principal bedroom. It features a magnificent bay window with working shutters, ornate cornicework, an original marble fireplace and base-level dark-wood panelling. The spacious and bright room has a shelved Edinburgh Press and a walk-in storage cupboard. 

▪      Family Bathroom: A glass-paned door from the entrance hall leads in an inner hall which accesses both a cloakroom cupboard and the all-tiled family bathroom that comprises a bath, heritage-style pedestal wash basin, bidet, heated towel rail & WC

▪      Bedroom Two & Three: There are two further double bedrooms overlooking the front of the house. One enjoys a large bay window whilst the other benefits from a built-in, mirror-fronted double wardrobe

▪      Kitchen: In need of modernisation, the kitchen comprises an integrated sink, combi-microwave, electric oven, gas hob as well as a standalone fridge and freezer. There is a small breakfast bar and a large window overlooking the side of the property. There are plenty of storage solutions in the base and upper units and drawers.

▪      Sitting-Dining Room: This high-ceilinged reception room benefits from many original period features including ornate cornicework, wood flooring, an attractive marble fireplace with decorative floral tiling. There are two shelved Edinburgh Press cupboards on either side of the fireplace. The room enjoys plenty of natural light from the large bay window overlooking the front of the house. There is amble space for both a seating and dining area in this elegant reception room.

SITUATION:

The grand Victorian buildings that line this beautiful crescent make Rothesay Terrace, one of the most desirable residential addresses in the UNESCO World Heritage-listed capital city. The West End is well served by local amenities with an eclectic mix of independent businesses tucked away on the nearby charming cobbled streets and along Queensferry Street. It is just a short walk to the city’s business and financial district and the main retail and entertainment thoroughfares of George and Princes Street. There are many world-class art galleries, museums and historic attractions within easy reach and the National Gallery of Modern Art is just a short stroll away. The scenic Water of Leith pathway is easily accessible and connects to cosmopolitan Stockbridge, renowned for its vibrant village atmosphere, weekly market, independent food shops and cafes.

The area is well served with supermarkets including a Tesco Express and Sainsbury’s Local, a Waitrose at Comely Bank and a Marks & Spencer within Haymarket Station and at the Craigleith Retail Park. 

There are plenty of leisure and recreational facilities in the locality including the members-only Drumsheugh Victorian Baths, the Grange Cricket & Tennis Club and Edinburgh Sports Club. The property has both access to a private residents’ garden to the rear of the property as well as to Rothesay Terrace gardens, for which residents can gain access on payment of a small annual fee, to the front.

The property is within the catchment area for the highly regarded Flora Stevenson’s Primary School and Broughton High School in Comely Bank while private schooling is available locally at Fettes College, The Edinburgh Academy, Erskine Stewarts’ Melville Schools and St George’s School for Girls.

Travel links are close by at Haymarket Railway Station which runs services to both Scotland and England. There are bus and tram links from Haymarket to the city centre in one direction and Edinburgh International Airport in the other.
