3 Bed Cottage in Edinburgh

About this property

Blending city attractions with the endless appeal of the coast and countryside, this spectacular holiday apartment on the edge of the Firth of Forth invites up to five guests to enjoy a wide variety of pastimes. Located in the village of North Queensferry, this remarkable abode is steeped in engineering history. The property enjoys views of three iconic bridges - the Forth Rail Bridge, the Forth Road Bridge and the Queensferry Crossing - each providing a striking backdrop and fascinating story. The area is also home to Deep Sea World (0.5 miles), Scotland’s National Aquarium, where you’ll find the world’s largest underwater tunnel. Further attractions await in the city of Edinburgh (12 miles), including Arthur’s Seat, the historic castle and an array of excellent galleries. For those drawn to the countryside, the Pentland Hills (14 miles) offer an abundance of scenic walks and nature trails.

High ceilings, bay windows and ornate feature fireplaces set this first-floor apartment apart, complemented by a rich colour scheme and elegant decorative accents throughout. Ascend the grand staircase in the communal entrance and step into this stylish single-storey retreat. The lounge/diner is the heart of the home - a stunning space with sweeping views across the Forth. Here, comfortable seating, a Smart TV and a dining table positioned by the window create the perfect setting for relaxing and dining while enjoying the ever-changing scenery. Hardwood flooring leads along the hallway to the contemporary kitchen, where modern fixtures and fittings make cooking a pleasure. French doors open onto a small balcony, offering a peaceful spot to take in the view. A separate utility cupboard, complete with a chest freezer and safe, provides additional storage. All three bedrooms are thoughtfully arranged on this floor. The first is a cosy double suitable for one guest, the second is a king-size room with an adjoining seating area for relaxing while admiring the view, and the third is a versatile super-king-size with a zip-and-link bed that can be configured to suit your needs. A stylish family bathroom completes the interior.

Outside, the small balcony offers a lovely vantage point for taking in the panoramic surroundings. At ground level, guests can enjoy a shared lawn with seating, ideal for a morning coffee or evening drink. Ample private parking is also available.
