Polwarth TerraceMerchiston, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH11 1ND

14 Polwarth Terrace is a substantial and exceptionally spacious upper duplex apartment, quietly set back from the road in one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after residential areas. The property is further enhanced by a single garage and off-street parking, offering valuable convenience and security within a city setting.

The ground floor provides a practical and well-considered introduction to the home, with a welcoming vestibule opening to the internal stair leading to the principal accommodation above.

The first floor forms the main living level and is generous in both scale and proportion. A broad central hall runs through the heart of the home, drawing in natural light and establishing an immediate sense of openness and flow. To the front, the elegant sitting room is a particularly attractive reception space, with a bay window formation adding character, depth, and an excellent focal point while enhancing the natural light throughout.

To the rear lies the impressive kitchen and dining room, the true heart of the home. Thoughtfully designed with a range of modern fitted units, it provides an excellent space for both everyday family living and entertaining. From here, access leads directly to a balcony, creating a pleasant outdoor extension and strengthening the home’s connection to its garden setting. A spiral staircase descends to the private rear garden, a distinctive and highly desirable feature.

The bedroom accommodation on this level is particularly well proportioned, and the layout flows well around the central hall, giving a strong sense of space and privacy to each room. This thoughtful arrangement creates a calm and balanced environment, well suited to family living, guests, or additional reception use if required. A bathroom and separate shower room provide excellent practicality, further complemented by a dressing room, adding a sense of everyday comfort and convenience.

The upper floor continues the property’s versatility, offering additional bedroom accommodation alongside a dedicated home office and further en-suite facilities. This level is ideally suited as a principal suite or private guest accommodation and is particularly well adapted to multi-generational living or flexible working arrangements.

Externally, the property benefits from a private rear garden, mainly laid to lawn and beautifully established with mature shrubs, trees, and dense planting, and green house creating a wonderfully secluded and tranquil outdoor setting. A summer house provides a charming and adaptable additional space, ideal for relaxation, hobbies, or home working.

Additionally, solar panels provide £2,000-£2,400 per year, while ensuring a much more affordable energy bill.

Overall, 14 Polwarth Terrace is a rare and substantial upper duplex, combining elegant period character with generous proportions and exceptional flexibility. The bay-fronted reception room, superb kitchen and dining space, and seamless connection to the mature private garden all contribute to a home of considerable charm, practicality, and enduring appeal in a highly regarded Edinburgh location.
