Register your interest for a piece of Edinburgh’s heritage Following the highly successful launch of Quartermile’s first conversion show apartment in September, which was snapped up in the first weekend, the luxury developer is urging interested buyers to act fast to secure a piece of Edinburgh’s heritage at the prestigious development.

The much anticipated second conversion show apartment, due to open in the New Year, has been sympathetically designed to reflect Edinburgh’s distinctive architecture and character, seamlessly blending old and new to give a unique combination of period style and the best in contemporary living.

The B listed three bedroom Victorian conversion apartment occupies a prime location within Quartermile and boasts floor to ceiling, traditional sash and case windows which flood the open plan living space with natural light.

Designed by leading local architects CDA, the apartment features a mezzanine floor, maximising the high ceilings and utilising the unique space. The distinctive turrets on either side have been transformed into a dining area and snug, retaining the personality of the original architecture.

Interior design from Tangram Furnishers has brought the show apartment to life for viewers, featuring high quality furnishings from B&B Italia in neutral tones. The luxury continues throughout with Villeroy & Boch fixtures along with Hans Grohe accessories in the bathroom and a fully fitted kitchen, blending reconstituted stone surfaces with the latest integrated modern appliances.

Complete with large built-in wardrobes, en suite bathroom and a 32’’ wall mounted plasma TV, the master bedroom exudes luxury. The en suite boasts twin sinks, a one-and-a-half size walk in shower and full size free-standing bath complete with a built in LCD TV at viewing height on the wall.

Lorraine Paterson, Sales & Marketing Director for Gladedale Capital, commented: “Following the rapid sale of our first show apartment, we have experienced a strong interest in these highly sought after conversion apartments at Quartermile.

“The development is truly unique in its ability to seamlessly bring together the old and the new making it an exceptional place to live. The converted apartments strike the perfect balance between the visual appeal of a period property and amenities designed for 21st century living.

“We believe that the new show apartment captures the lifestyle offered by this prestigious development and we would urge interested buyers to register in advance for the opening in January next year."

Additionally, to show the variety of properties available in the converted listed buildings, visitors will also be able to view a north facing one bed conversion show apartment. Furnished by Tangram, this property perfectly combines period character with all the luxuries of modern living.

Quartermile is emerging as one of Edinburgh’s most sought after addresses, bordering the Meadows and within easy walking distance of Princes Street and Waverley station. As well as private homes, Quartermile will also feature purpose built commercial and retail space, a 65-bed boutique hotel and seven acres of lush green public space.
