    About this property

    • Occupying a distinguished position within one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after residential locations, this beautifully presented ground floor apartment combines impressive Victorian proportions with refined contemporary finishes. Having undergone an extensive refurbishment during the current owners tenure the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a turnkey and elegant residence in the heart of the West End.

      The centrepiece of the home is the magnificent bay-windowed drawing room, a wonderfully bright and inviting space showcasing exquisite original timber panelling, intricate cornicing, impressive ceiling heights, working shutters and an attractive fireplace. With room for formal dining as well as ample living space, this is a generous and warm centre to the home that can suit a variety of lifestyles and uses. Complimented with a superb outlook to the front and perfectly balancing period grandeur with everyday comfort, this is an exceptional setting for both relaxing and entertaining.

      To the rear, the thoughtfully designed kitchen has been finished in a timeless and bright style, featuring shaker cabinetry, quality worktops with both integrated appliances and space created as part of the design to allow potential purchasers to flexibly choose their own preferred arrangement of white goods. Large sash windows flood the space with natural light while providing a pleasant outlook towards mature greenery to the rear, with floorspace for a breakfast table also.

      The generous principal bedroom is quietly positioned and benefits from excellent proportions, continuing the sense of space found throughout the property with a green outlook and proportions to accommodate freestanding storage also with working traditional shutters in place. A well-appointed family bathroom, recently upgraded to a high quality finish and fittings, useful storage cupboard and welcoming reception hall complete the accommodation.

      For a small subscription, Coates Gardens owners can join Magdala Crescent Gardens. They can also request and apply to join the Eglinton & Glencairn gardens and Douglas Crescent gardens.

      Presented in excellent decorative order, the apartment successfully marries its historic architectural detail with modern convenience, making it equally appealing as a city residence, pied-à-terre or investment within one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential districts.
