Description:

​

33/3 Buckingham Terrace is situated in a prime central city location in Edinburgh’s West End. The B-listed Victorian property is accessed through a classical main front door that opens into a grand communal entrance vestibule with original decorative Victorian floor tiles and cornicing that is shared with three other properties.  An inner glass-panelled door opens to a stone staircase, that is flooded with natural light from the modern cupola above, that takes you up to the second-floor property.

​

• Entrance Hall.  The hall runs the length of the apartment with two internal frosted windows that let in natural light. The hallway features three large storage cupboards. One is currently used as a cloakroom; one houses the utilities and the largest is a walk-in room that can store bigger items.

​

• Living-Dining Room:  Three stairs lead up from the hall to access the elegant living room with its triple floor-to-ceiling window with working shutters and exterior stone balustrade. The open views across to the Georgian terrace on the opposing side of the road are spectacular.  With polished dark wood flooring, the high-ceilinged room has ample space for both a seating and dining area and has a shelved Edinburgh Press. It features a beautiful original decorative-wood fireplace with marble inset and hearth that houses a wood burning stove.

​

• Double Bedroom: Adjacent to the living-dining room and sharing similar panoramic views over the front of property, is a good-sized double bedroom with hard wood flooring.  The room benefits from both a shelved Edinburgh Press and a built-in wardrobe.

​

• Family Bathroom: Three stairs from the main hall lead up to a well-equipped bathroom with a bath, shower cubicle, integrated wash basin unit with storage below, heated towel rail and WC.

​

• Principal Bedroom: Flooded with natural light from the large twin sash window with working shutters, the wonderful bright and light bedroom enjoys stunning unobstructed views of the beautiful architecture of Belgrave Crescent to the rear of the property. With high ceilings, this generously sized room has plenty of space for a double bed as well as a seating area in front of the window. The south-facing room, that can be accessed from two doors, also features an impressive original fireplace that is currently used for decorative effect.

​

• WC Room: This is located between the principal bedroom and the kitchen.

​

• Kitchen. The light-filled kitchen enjoys a wonderful open outlook over the gardens and Georgian townhouses at the rear of the property. The modern fitted kitchen features high-specification integrated appliances such as a full-length fridge and freezer, electric oven/microwave dishwasher, washing machine/dryer, induction hob and a double Belfast sink that sits in front of the large sash window. There is moveable island in the centre of the room which gives flexibility should you wish to add a small dining table. There are plenty of storage solutions provided in the base and upper fitted units.
