About
Approached through sweeping grounds and nestled within approximately 10 acres of private gardens, The Library Suite occupies a distinguished position within the historic Bonaly Tower-one of Edinburgh’s most enchanting and storied residences.
This is not simply an apartment, but a rare opportunity to inhabit a piece of the city’s architectural heritage, where history, scale and setting converge in remarkable harmony.
Prior to our seller this property was held within the same ownership for nearly half a century, The Library Suite emerges as an exceptionally rare offering.
Its interiors unfold with quiet grandeur, revealing a home defined by volume, light and exquisite period craftsmanship.
At its heart lie two magnificent reception rooms, each with its own distinct character.
The former library is a space of undeniable drama and presence-an extraordinary room crowned by intricate beamed ceilings and anchored by a striking inglenook fireplace.
Twin turrets frame the south-facing aspect, drawing in soft natural light, while polished timber floors and extensive bespoke shelving evoke a sense of timeless scholarship and elegance.
In contrast, the drawing room offers a more relaxed yet equally refined setting.
Bathed in sunlight through expansive south facing windows, it provides an effortlessly elegant space for both everyday living and entertaining, centered around a handsome fireplace and overlooking the beautifully maintained grounds.
The kitchen introduces a contemporary note, seamlessly integrated into the historic fabric of the home.
Designed by Kitchens International, it combines sleek cabinetry with high-specification appliances, offering both functionality and understated style.
The principal bedroom is a sanctuary of calm, generously proportioned and enjoying picturesque views across the gardens.
It is complemented by excellent fitted storage and a beautifully appointed en-suite.
Two further double bedrooms continue the theme of quiet luxury, each enjoying leafy outlooks and served by a well-finished family bathroom. Outside, the sense of arrival is immediate and enduring.
A gravel forecourt provides ample private parking, while a substantial garage offers further convenience.
Yet it is the grounds themselves that truly define the experience-peaceful, expansive and unexpectedly secluded, creating a country house atmosphere just moments from the vibrancy of Edinburgh’s city centre.
The Library Suite is a home of rare distinction-where heritage, elegance and setting combine to create something truly exceptional. Parking Availability: Yes.
