An immaculate and spacious two bedroom West End apartment with excellent transport links and amenities
Flat 3, 21 Atholl Crescent is an impressive and exceptionally spacious third-floor apartment, occupying a highly desirable position in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End. Extending to approximately 1,470 sq ft, the property combines generous accommodation with a peaceful yet central setting, impressive outlooks and excellent access to the city’s extensive amenities and transport connections.
The apartment is accessed via a well-maintained communal stair and opens into a welcoming reception hall, which provides access to the principal accommodation. At the heart of the property is a superb sitting / dining room, measuring over 24ft in length and offering an exceptional space for both everyday living and entertaining. A large bay window complete with window-seat, provides an attractive outlook, while the generous proportions allow for clearly defined sitting and dining areas.
The kitchen is positioned to the front and is open to the living / dining room, creating a wonderful sense of space and flow between the two principal living areas. Double doors allow the kitchen to be closed off when required, providing excellent flexibility to enjoy the accommodation as a fully open-plan space or as separate rooms, depending on the occasion. The kitchen itself is well equipped with a range of contemporary wall and floor-mounted units, complemented by quality work surfaces and a comprehensive range of integrated appliances, while being thoughtfully designed to maximise both storage and functionality.
The principal bedroom is located to the rear and is an exceptionally generous in size. It benefits from excellent proportions, an attractive outlook and a stylish en-suite shower room. The second bedroom is also a substantial double and is positioned alongside the principal bedroom, again enjoying the quieter rear aspect.
A well-appointed family bathroom lies off the central hall and features a bath with shower over. The accommodation is further enhanced by excellent storage, including two useful cupboards off the hallway.
The building was comprehensively refurbished in 2017 by Melford Developments and has been carefully maintained since, resulting in a stylish and comfortable home which is presented in excellent condition. Features include engineered oak flooring, quality contemporary fittings and attractive finishes, while the property retains the scale and character associated with a traditional West End apartment.
The property also benefits a useful cellar, providing valuable additional storage.
Perhaps one of the apartment’s greatest strengths is its location. Atholl Crescent occupies a peaceful and highly sought-after position within Edinburgh’s West End, yet is within easy walking distance of the city centre, Haymarket and the extensive range of cafés, restaurants, bars and independent shops found throughout the surrounding area. Haymarket Station and tram stop provide excellent rail and public transport connections, including direct access to Edinburgh Airport.

The scale and finish of this apartment are truly fantastic; at around 1,470 sq ft, the living / dining room and two bedrooms are all exceptionally generous, which is increasingly difficult to find in such a central location. I also love the position - it is wonderfully peaceful, yet the incredible amenities and transport links that the West End and city centre have to offer are right on the doorstep. The impressive outlooks and the cellar is a further bonus.
