Quirky Edinburgh home with ‘masterful’ design in sought-after …

A unique Edinburgh home on the ground level of a Victorian townhouse has joined the market, having been extended in 2017 and maintaining period details with a playful application of colour".

A unique property ^[1] in the Portobello ^[2] area of Edinburgh has been put up for sale.

The ground floor flat on Morton Street has been described as a "masterful exercise in natural light and natural materials". After joining the market ^[3] on August 3, sellers are accepting offers over £495,000.

The property was extended back in 2017, now spreading over 1,080 square feet. With modern finished throughout the home, they're paired with "lovingly retained" period details.

Portobello's beach and promenade are just minutes away, while the city centre can be reached within 15 minutes.

The Modern House, who are currently selling the home, said: "Set back from the road by a walled garden, the primary entrance is set within the honeyed stone façade of the 19th century Victorian town house.

"Period features define the entrance hall: high ceilings, original floorboards running underfoot, and walls washed in the soft pink of Farrow & Ball's 'Setting Plaster'.

"To the immediate left of the arterial hallway lies the studio, which could also be used as a third bedroom: a room of generous proportions with a large triple bay window bringing excellent light throughout the day and grey polished plaster adding a tactile feeling to the walls.

"A Morso multi-fuel stove is set within a cast Jesmonite fire surround, bringing winter warmth and a wonderful sculptural focal point to the room, pairing seamlessly with the original cornicing and ceiling rose. Moving through the house, clever interventions weave playfully through the interior architecture.

"A walk-in library has been built into a cloakroom to one side of the hallway, leading through to a series of interconnected living spaces unfolding across the easterly side of the plan.

"The central living room is versatile in its layout, with seating and socialising areas coalescing around a large fireplace and a second Morso multi-fuel stove."

The gardens of the home have been "thoughtfully considered", with elevated decking offering a spot for outdoor dining and entertaining. The area of Portobello offers a neighbourhood feel, with several independent businesses, shops and restaurants nearby.
