Dazzling Edinburgh penthouse hits the market with incredible balcony views

An incredible Edinburgh penthouse has hit the market with some impeccable views over Craiglockhart Hill.

Tucked away in Morningside, the plush two-bedroom property is currently priced at offers over £740,000, so it's not quite what you would call a bargain.

However, it's clear to see what makes the pad so expensive, from it's sought after location to its stunning vistas over 52 acres of surrounding parkland.

With the views pretty fantastic out of almost every angle in the flat, the property also comes with a huge balcony that is accessible through both the living room and master bedroom.

With enough room for a host of garden furniture, whoever gets the keys will be able to enjoy the outdoor space through all of the seasons.

Currently on the market through Gilson Gray, the agents said: "The penthouse apartment's front door is approached via a secure shared entrance and a lift (or stairs) to the top floor, where an L-shaped hallway welcomes you inside and houses no less than three built-in storage cupboards.

"The tone for the accommodation to follow is set here with neutral décor and engineered wood flooring found throughout most of the living spaces. The beautifully designed open-plan reception space – A dream space for keen entertainers The design of the zoned, open-plan living spaces creates a seamless flow between the kitchen, dining area and living room, which in turn leads onto a roof terrace with spectacular views - a haven for sociable entertaining and relaxing.

The penthouse has now hit the market with an expensive price tag (Gilson Gray)

"The reception area's layout has been distinctly zoned for cooking, dining and lounging, and the space is filled with natural light through floor-to-ceiling patio doors which slide open to afford access onto different areas of the roof terrace. As well as capturing sunny natural light, the glazing frames breath-taking views of the development, Craiglockhart Hill, and beyond, providing the perfect backdrop for alfresco dining and drinks on the terrace.

"The dining area can comfortably seat 8 diners and during the warmer months, extend to a part of the terrace which is ideal for outdoor dining. The spacious living room extends to a small terrace with a glazed balustrade, creating a sense of unobstructed expanse to the leafy countryside.

"The development is set in 52 acres of sprawling parkland, providing idyllic grounds to stroll and exercise in without having to travel at all. The development also offers private residents' parking, with an allocated space for the apartment, as well as a lockable bike store. A bus stop to the city centre is only 75 meters away."
