About this home

An immaculate and spacious two bedroom West End apartment with excellent transport links and amenities

Description

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.

Location

Atholl Crescent is regarded as one of Edinburgh's most attractive and architecturally significant Georgian crescents, situated within the heart of the fashionable West End. The location offers an outstanding lifestyle opportunity, combining elegant city living with immediate access to a wealth of amenities.

Residents enjoy an excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, bars and boutiques within the West End, including the nearby William Street hub of high quality amenities.

The nearby city centre, Princes Street and George Street are all within comfortable walking distance. Nearby cultural attractions include the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Usher Hall and Edinburgh's renowned theatre district.

Haymarket Station is just moments away, providing regular rail services across Scotland and the UK, while the Edinburgh Trams, the West End stop located on the crescent itself offers direct access to Edinburgh Airport and the wider city network on your doorstep. The area is also highly regarded for its proximity to the city's financial district, making it particularly appealing for professional purchasers seeking a central yet refined residence.

The combination of elegant architecture, excellent transport connections and vibrant city amenities ensures Atholl Crescent remains one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential addresses.
