This Stockbridge warehouse conversion merges moody blues and tactile textures to create a modern and inviting space. A cosy living area with velvet chaise end sofa flows into a vibrant kitchen-diner, where intimate suppertimes last well into the evening. Huge grid windows illuminate the home’s occasional pops of colour which brightens things up, especially on rainy days. When the sun does shine, take your place on the patio, dunking fingers of shortbread into mugs of tea before exploring your pleasant neighbourhood. Enjoy the village ambience as you stroll along cobbled paths, past Victorian-era streetlamps, into indie bookshops and specialty coffee houses. For Edinburgh’s best bits, it’s a nineteen-minute walk along Princes Street to the Scott Monument and twenty-two minutes to the mighty Edinburgh Castle – we recommend nipping into the Scottish National Gallery along the way.
