We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
45B Manor Place is an exceptional Georgian garden apartment occupying a prime position within Edinburgh’s highly sought-after West End.
Combining elegant period character with a comprehensive programme of refurbishment, the property offers a rare opportunity to acquire a fully modernised home with private outdoor space in one of the city’s most desirable locations.
The property has been extensively renovated by the current owners during 2023 and 2024, with significant attention paid not only to presentation and design but also to the quality of the underlying infrastructure.
The result is a beautifully finished turnkey home that successfully combines the character and proportions of Georgian architecture with the comfort, efficiency and convenience expected of modern living.
Entered via its own private main door, the accommodation opens into a welcoming entrance hallway featuring bespoke boot-room style storage, providing practical everyday organisation while making an immediate impression on arrival.
At the heart of the home is a superb open-plan living, dining and kitchen space.
Filled with natural light and enhanced by elegant decorative cornicing, this impressive room combines Georgian proportions with contemporary living.
The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with both functionality and entertaining in mind, featuring integrated appliances including a fridge freezer and dishwasher, alongside a Quooker boiling water tap.
A separate utility area provides additional storage and laundry space, while a dedicated home office offers valuable flexibility for remote working, study or creative pursuits.
The property offers two generous double bedrooms, both benefiting from excellent built-in storage and beautifully appointed en suite bathrooms.
A third family bathroom serves guests and further enhances the practicality of the layout. Throughout the property, the scale of the improvements is evident.
Works undertaken include a new kitchen, three new bathroom suites, upgraded plumbing and heating systems with a new boiler and radiators, partial rewiring with a new consumer unit, heritage-style double glazed sash windows throughout, new front and rear doors, new wooden shutters and Amtico herringbone flooring.
A particular highlight is the private courtyard garden, a rare and highly desirable feature within Edinburgh’s city centre.
The garden has been carefully enhanced by the current owners, including lowering the patio level to restore original ventilation, installing a new patio and creating an attractive blend of landscaped outdoor space, mature shrubs and an established tree.
The result is a peaceful and secluded setting ideal for relaxing, dining and entertaining.
Further benefits include two substantial under-pavement cellars providing excellent additional storage and a Yale wireless alarm system, which is included in the sale.
By separate negotiation, a range of smart-home enhancements including Philips Hue lighting, Ubiquiti Wi-Fi networking equipment and selected furniture may also be available.
EPC Band C Manor Place is one of Edinburgh’s most attractive and sought-after West End addresses, positioned moments from the iconic St Mary’s Cathedral and within easy walking distance of the city centre.
The location offers an exceptional balance of tranquillity and convenience.
Haymarket Station, providing direct rail connections across Scotland and to London, is only a short walk away, while the nearby West End tram stop offers quick access to Edinburgh Airport and the wider city.
Recent public realm improvements have transformed Manor Place into a quieter residential street with no through traffic, while the newly introduced cycle infrastructure provides excellent connectivity to the city centre and Edinburgh’s wider cycle network.
Residents enjoy immediate access to the boutiques, cafés, restaurants and wine bars of William Street, Queensferry Street and the West End, while Stockbridge, George Street and the New Town are all within easy reach.
Excellent recreational amenities are nearby, including The Dean Tennis & Squash Club, scenic walks along the Water of Leith, and the extensive green spaces of Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh.
