57 Argyle Crescent, Edinburgh, EH15 2QE

Behind the handsome Victorian façade lies a home that bears little resemblance to its original incarnation.

Thoughtfully and confidently reimagined, this three-bedroom house on Argyle Crescent has been transformed into a series of beautifully considered spaces that brings a playful energy into every element of its design.

Set on one of Portobello's most quietly coveted streets, the house occupies a rare sweet spot: Tucked away from the bustle, yet only a short walk from the beach, cafés and independent shops that have made this corner of Edinburgh so enduringly popular.

The design takes on a life of its own and is defined by enduring style and bold excess.

A substantial rear extension and carefully crafted attic conversion have unlocked every opportunity within the original footprint, creating a home where every square metre has purpose.

The original proportions have been beautifully preserved. A generous bay-windowed sitting room, centred around an open fire, provides a calm family space to enjoy at any time of the day.

A beautifully detailed cloakroom sits discreetly off the hall, while the half landing is home to an elegant family bathroom, where a freestanding bath and separate walk-in shower provide more than a simple necessity.

The first floor accommodates two bedrooms, each retaining the character synonymous with the home's Victorian heritage.

The attic conversion has been thoughtfully conceived, with a suite consisting of a bedroom, en-suite shower room, and walk in wardrobe.

At its heart is an exceptional open-plan kitchen, dining and family space.

Crafted around a bespoke kitchen of remarkable quality, with under floor heating, a bespoke pantry and coffee station and with ample space for cooking, dining and relaxation, it is a room that encourages gathering .

Expansive crittal glazing dissolves the boundary between inside and out, drawing natural light deep into the space and opening directly onto a south-facing garden that becomes an extension of the living space through the warmer months.

The outhouse utility room, complete with underfloor heating, is perfectly designed to complement coastal living.

It provides the ideal space for drying wetsuits, storing outdoor gear, and keeping equipment warm, dry, and ready for your next adventure.

This is not simply a Victorian house that has been modernised. It is a home that has been completely rethought for contemporary life with fun and a playful spirit that makes it truly unique.
