An exceptionally appealing main door upper villa, occupying the entire top floor of an elegant B listed period house, overlooking picturesque Abercorn Park and moments from the beach in the capital’s much loved Portobello area.  

Rarely available on the open market, this impressive property has been thoughtfully renovated and upgraded by the existing owners to create a light filled and beautifully presented home, with excellent amenities on the doorstep and convenient transport links to the city centre and out towards East Lothian, with its beautiful beaches and world-famous golf courses.  

In addition to the main home there is a stylish self-contained studio in the garden, which is beautifully presented with wood burner, kitchen, shower room and mezzanine level.  The space was meticulously designed and is currently in use a creative space, but would lend itself to a variety of uses, including a holiday let or Air B N B (subject to consents).  

Access to the main property is through an entrance hall with stairs leading to the upper hallway, which benefits from built-in storage.  The accommodation briefly comprises: bright dual facing reception/dining room which features a dual, south and west, facing aspect with near floor to ceiling windows, working shutters, ornate cornice work, attractive wood flooring and focal wood burning stove,  recently upgraded dining kitchen which acts as a wonderful hub of the house and has been fitted with an excellent variety of high spec contemporary units, complete with coordinated wood worktops, high ceilings and cornicing.

The space continues with a generously proportioned principal bedroom with open views over the adjacent park, second double bedroom boasting magnificent sea views and convenient en-suite shower room, a versatile smaller double bedroom which is currently being used as a home office but would work well as a child’s bedroom or nursery, and main family bathroom with WC, pedestal basin, splash tiling, bath with drench shower, and utility space.     

Undoubtedly one of the standout features of this charming home are the verdant generously sized private gardens located to the front and side of the property.  To the front you have a neatly kept, well stocked area of garden ground overlooking Abercorn Park and bordered by mature hedgerow, stone wall and wrought iron railings. To the side you there is a substantial lawned garden, peppered with a variety of trees, shrubs and bushes, together with a large, gated driveway providing secure off-street parking for multiple vehicles.  A timber shed offers excellent overspill storage and there is a summerhouse at the top left hand side of the garden, providing a secluded, peaceful spot to relax in the warmer months.  The exterior concludes with the aforementioned studio, which is self-contained and has excellent flexibility of use.
