Location

South Oswald Road is located at the heart of the Grange, a very well-established residential suburb of Edinburgh, just over one mile drive south of the city centre. The road has little through traffic.

The popularity of the area is accounted for not only by its pleasant, quiet and leafy streets, but also by its convenient location for access to schools, local amenities and road links both in and out of town.

Nearby Bruntsfield, Morningside and Newington provide a wealth of charming local shops, bars, cafes and restaurants, along with a cinema, theatre and a choice of supermarkets.

There are a number of independent schools on the south side of the city, including George Watson's, George Heriot's and Merchiston Castle School which are all within easy reach, as well as The Edinburgh Academy, St. George's and Erskine Stewart's Melville Schools also readily accessible.

Description

The Penthouse at South Oswald Road is without doubt one of the finest penthouse apartments in Edinburgh. Not only does it benefit from terraces on all four sides of the building, it is also the only apartment atop this exclusive development, built by Applecross Developments to an exceptionally high specification in 2008. The light is quite extraordinary, coupled with the sense of space and the panoramic views make this a truly superb apartment.

There is both lift and stair access to the third floor where the apartment is situated. The doors open to a fabulous central reception hall from where the accommodation radiates. The bedroom accommodation is situated to the east side of the property while the living and reception space is set to the other side of the hall, giving a great sense of separation between the two differing parts of the apartment. Of particular note is the magnificent open plan dining and sitting room which has floor to ceiling glazing with far reaching views to the south and west. It is a generous room of sufficient size to create clearly defined areas, yet remaining open plan for contemporary living. Sliding doors open to the wonderful south facing terrace with delightful southerly views. The room naturally flows into the beautifully appointed kitchen, by Kitchens International, which in turn flows through to a breakfasting area and the cosy family room, where there is a further north and west facing terrace.

The principal bedroom is to the other end of the apartment, and is an incredibly spacious room, with a walk-in dressing room and luxurious en suite bath and shower room. There is also access, through sliding doors, to the south and east facing terrace, which again offers wonderful views. There are two further en suite bedrooms, one of which is currently used as a study, while the fourth bedroom has a WC adjacent to it. All of these bedrooms also benefit from built-in wardrobes. There is also a utility room and generally there is very good storage with various useful cupboards.

The shared private grounds are a delight. They have been extensively landscaped with Japanese ponds and stone terracing to the front of the building, and a gated driveway to the side. The driveway leads underneath the building where there are three parking spaces exclusively owned by the Penthouse. Here there is a large storage cupboard also, useful for golf clubs, bikes, wine storage among other things.
