Terraced house for sale in Inverleith Terrace, Edinburgh EH3

This is a rare opportunity to acquire a Georgian Townhouse in a prime Inverleith address. This much loved home has a welcoming atmosphere with an excellent balance of well-proportioned living space and generous bedrooms. Immediately upon entering the vestibule, there is a sense of the Georgian proportions and period features, which continues throughout the property.

The vestibule opens to a large hallway with the elegant stairs crowned by a cupola which floods the space with natural light. Of particular note are the two main living rooms to the rear of the house. Both have lovely proportions and a large bay window with southerly views of the city skyline. The Kitchen, on the ground floor, has access to an elevated terrace, with stairs leading down to the garden. Further accommodation in the main part of the house consists of three double bedrooms, a bathroom, and a shower room. The lower ground floor could function well as a self-contained one bedroom flat, or it could have a variety of uses as additional accommodation.

Outside, there is a mature south-facing garden with a lawn and a patio area for outdoor dining. The garden leads to a studio building, which can also be accessed from Inverleith Terrace Lane. Designed as an artist's studio, it could work as an office, gym, or a variety of other uses. Subject to the usual planning consents, there is scope for a mews house to be built in its place.
