Description

15 Ainslie Place is a magnificent double aspect main door flat offering bright, spacious and elegant accommodation retaining much of its original charm with a variety of delightful period features. Extending to over 2200 sq ft, the proportions are superb. This property would create an ideal haven, suited to young professionals or people downsizing from a larger house.

The front door opens to the vestibule and on through a glazed inner door to the welcoming central reception hall from where the accommodation radiates. One of the most impressive features of this wonderful flat is the exceptional living and reception space. The elegant sitting room is situated to the front of the property and has two arched windows overlooking the glorious central gardens. The room also benefits from a handsome white marble mantelpiece and delicate cornicing. Double doors connect through to the impressive dining kitchen. Kept open, this is an exceptional and extremely rare double reception space. The kitchen is well-appointed and there is ample space for a large dining table. It also benefits from an impressive white marble mantelpiece as well as two windows providing a beautiful green outlook towards the Dean Valley.
There are three generously proportioned bedrooms, each of them with an impressive mantelpiece and decorative cornicing. The principal bedroom also benefits from an en suite shower room. In addition there is a main shower room which services the other two bedrooms.

There is a very useful under-pavement cellar in the front basement area, accessed via the front steps. Proprietors can also apply for access into the Moray Pleasure Grounds and further terraced gardens on the banks of the Water of Leith, for which there is a modest annual subscription.
