Positioned on one of Morningside’s most desirable residential terraces, this exceptional Victorian upper villa combines elegant period character with generous family accommodation extending to approximately 2,902 sq ft. Set behind a beautifully maintained front garden, the property enjoys an impressive presence with handsome stone elevations and attractive architectural detailing befitting its prestigious setting.
The accommodation is arranged over two principal levels and has been thoughtfully configured for modern family life whilst retaining the scale, proportions and charm synonymous with Edinburgh’s finest Victorian homes. There is a separate lower ground apartment which is not included. A welcoming vestibule and reception hall lead to a magnificent bay-windowed sitting room where ornate cornicing, exceptional ceiling height and a striking fireplace create a wonderfully refined entertaining space flooded with natural light.
To the rear, the heart of the home is undoubtedly the substantial open-plan kitchen and dining room. Extending to over 33 feet in length, this impressive space offers an ideal environment for everyday family living and larger social gatherings, with ample room for dining, relaxing and entertaining. A practical utility room and guest WC provide valuable ancillary accommodation, while a separate study offers excellent flexibility for home working.
The first floor hosts four well-proportioned double bedrooms, including an outstanding principal suite with generous proportions and an en suite shower room. A beautifully sized family bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms, ensuring the property is perfectly suited to growing families. Throughout, the home enjoys an abundance of natural light, attractive period features and a wonderful sense of space.
Externally, the mature landscaped gardens provide a peaceful and private setting, with established planting, manicured lawns and colourful borders creating a delightful backdrop to the house. The gardens complement the property beautifully and enhance the sense of tranquillity rarely found so close to the city centre.
Combining period elegance, excellent family accommodation and one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after addresses, 12 Albert Terrace represents a rare opportunity to acquire a distinguished family home in the heart of Morningside.
