DESCRIPTION:

20 Drumsheugh Gardens is situated on a wide residential road in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End. The third-floor apartment is reached via a classical main front door that opens into an entrance vestibule and then to a spacious and elegant entrance hall. A grand staircase and, unusually for city centre properties, a large internal lift accesses the two upper floors.

First Floor:

Entrance Hall: The front door of the third-floor property opens into a wood-floored hallway accessing all the accommodation. It features a utility cupboard.

Open Plan Kitchen-Dining-Living Room: With light flooding in from a magnificent overhead cupola, the stunning dining-kitchen space features both period architectural charm and sleek contemporary style. Boasting ornately decorative cornicing and frieze, the focal point to the stylish base is a circular dining table which sits directly below the cupola.  The sleek bespoke kitchen features a host of integrated high-specification appliances including a SMEG microwave, SMEG double oven, five gas-burner, extractor fan, SMEG dishwasher, washing machine, full-length fridge/freezer and double sink. The gloss white base and upper storage units contrast perfectly with the black marble counter tops.

Living Room: This is certainly a room with a view. Spectacular panoramic views across the rooftops of Edinburgh’s historic New Town to the Firth of Forth to Fife beyond can be enjoyed through the floor-to-ceiling wall of eight-pane windows. This high-ceilinged room features a stylish seating arrangement positioned to benefit from the outstanding views.

Principal Bedrooms: This generously sized and light-filled double bedroom has a built-in fitted wardrobe with plenty of space in the room for additional furniture. The wood-floored bedroom enjoys plenty of natural light through two large sash windows with working shutters that overlook the front of the property. There is an-ensuite marble-tiled bathroom comprising a bath with attached shower appliance, chrome heated towel rail, wash basin, large inset vanity mirror and a WC.

Bedroom Two: A second good-sized double bright and airy bedroom with one large window with working shutters overlooking the front of the property.

Bathroom: The marble tiled bathroom has a walk-in shower, wash basin, inset vanity mirror, heated towel rail, and WC. There is a small skylight allowing light to enter this internal bathroom.

SITUATION:

Drumsheugh Gardens is situated in a prime, central location in the heart of the UNESCO-listed Scottish capital.  The fashionable West End is well served by local amenities with a wide range of independent businesses including boutiques, restaurants, cafes and bars.

There is a Sainsbury’s Local on nearby Shandwick Place whilst there is a Waitrose in Comely Bank and a Marks & Spencer and Sainsbury’s superstore in the Craigleith Retail Park, a short drive away.

It is conveniently placed, just a short walk away, from Princes Street and George Street (the main shopping and entertainment thoroughfares) and many of the city’s world -class museums, art galleries and historic attractions.

The Water of Leith Walkway, a scenic riverside path, is easily accessible and along which you can walk to the Modern Art Galleries and Murrayfield Rugby Stadium in one direction and to popular neighbourhood of Stockbridge in the other. Stockbridge is renowned for its vibrant village atmosphere, weekly market, independent shops, restaurants and cafes. It borders Inverleith Park, a large public park with community tennis courts and a children’s play park, and The Royal Botanic Gardens. Residents can become members, for a small annual fee, of the adjacent private Drumsheugh Gardens.

There are plenty of recreational and leisure facilities in the locality with Drumsheugh Baths, a historic Victorian swimming pool, on the doorstep whilst the Edinburgh Sports Club and The Grange Cricket & Tennis Club are within easy reach.

The property sits in the catchment area for Flora Stevenson’s Primary School and Broughton High School and there are plenty of private schooling options available locally including Fettes College, The Edinburgh Academy, Erskine Stewarts’ Melville Schools (ESMS) and St George’s School.

Drumsheugh Gardens is conveniently positioned within walking distance of Haymarket Station, where you can board services to Scotland and England, and the regular bus and train services to Edinburgh International Airport. Across the magnificent Dean Bridge, the property lies close to Queensferry Road which links into road connections to the Queensferry Crossing to Fife and beyond as well as to Scotland’s central motorway network.
