Barnton Avenue West, Barnton, Edinburgh, Midlothian

Flat 5, 39 Barnton Avenue West is a spectacular and exceptional spacious penthouse apartment set within an exclusive modern development in a wonderfully quiet and secluded location. The accommodation is incredibly bright throughout, with floor to ceiling glazing in many of the rooms, of which most have access to one of the four terraces, conveniently located to benefit from sunlight throughout the day. The property was built around 20 years ago by the current owner, and was finished to a particularly high specification, and remains immaculately presented throughout with delightful views in all directions.

The exclusive and secure development is accessed via electric remote controlled gates which open to the large courtyard and the garaging. The door opens to the communal hall, where there is both lift and stair access to the upper floors. The lift rises with private access only to the upper floor, and opens directly into the penthouse apartment, where the vestibule opens to the entrance hall. The accommodation is split into two sides, with the bedroom accommodation to the north and the living and reception space to the south. A further hall provides access to impressive dining kitchen, which is beautifully appointed and immaculately presented, with a range of Miele integrated appliances, a useful breakfast bar and plenty of space for informal dining. Sliding doors open from the dining area to a south and west facing terrace, while doors to the other side open into the generous family room, which can also be accessed from the hall. Facing south, there is an abundance of natural light as well as access to the south facing terrace which extends along the south facade. Adjacent to the family room, as well as being accessed via impressive double doors from the hall, is the wonderfully bright and spacious drawing room with windows to the south and north offering delightful views. The dining room extends off this room, with access to the south facing terrace as well as an addition terrace to the north. There is also a WC and a utility room at this end of the apartment.

To the other end of the hall, stairs rise to a further landing providing access to the bedrooms. The principal bedroom suite is a delight. Wonderfully spacious, there is ample space for a large bed, while there is a dressing room with two fitted walk-in wardrobes as well as a generous and tranquil sitting area, from where there is access to two further terraces, the larger of which faces west and north and is a wonderful place to sit to take in the evening light, while the other faces south. In addition to this, there is a useful study as well as two further en suite bedrooms, one of which has a further east facing private terrace.

At ground floor level, there is a large double garage with additional storage and workshop space, while there is a further games room, or gym, which is a superb, and high unusual, extra room not often found in a modern development. There is also an allocated external parking space.

The grounds are wonderfully mature and colourful. Shared with the four other apartments in the block, there garden is well stocked with a variety of specimen plants, trees and shrubs providing colour and privacy throughout the year.
