A remarkable top floor apartment with lift access boasting historic interiors and panoramic views, situated on one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious addresses
Description
Occupying the top floor of a distinguished townhouse conversion on Moray Place, this exceptional apartment combines historic grandeur with flexible modern living. Accessed via a lift which opens directly, and securely, into a welcoming vestibule, the property immediately sets a tone of elegance and exclusivity.
A defining feature of the apartment is the reception space, which is beautifully finished with original panelling salvaged from the sister ship to the Titanic, The Olympic, - a remarkable detail that adds real character and a fascinating sense of history.
To the front of the property, overlooking the beautifully landscaped Moray Place Gardens, the grand sitting room is flooded with natural light and features deep window seats from which to enjoy the west-facing views, together with an ornate gas fireplace. Discreet sliding pocket doors connect through to a second reception room, currently arranged as a bedroom, offering superb versatility. This space includes a built-in desk framed within the window and a cleverly integrated sleeping platform hidden behind panelling, and an additional fireplace.
From the hall, a dining room with an overhead skylight provides an inviting space for entertaining, complete with another decorative fireplace. Adjoining this is a charming turret-style study, crowned by an ornate cupola, which has previously served as a nursery and offers flexible use.
The principal bedroom enjoys elegant proportions, while the second bedroom is similarly generous in scale. Bedroom three, a smaller single, would serve equally well as a nursery or home office.
The kitchen is bright and well-planned, fitted with a range cooker and offering plentiful storage, including two walk-in pantry cupboards. Its elevated position provides wonderful city views and makes the space both practical and uplifting.
A family bathroom, along with a separate utility room incorporating a WC, completes the accommodation.

Residents can apply for access to both of these.
Moray Place is close to the heart of the city centre and financial district whilst nearby Stockbridge offers an excellent range of local boutiques and restaurants.
