AMA @ Torwood in Murrayfield - a magnificent mix of restored and reimagined Victorian houses and cool, contemporary luxury apartments, offering 28 new homes.
The impressive Victorian villa at the heart of the development has been meticulously renovated to form two impressive four and five bedroom family homes. That same attention to detail has been brought to the original gatehouse, and the stable block has been converted into two further homes. In the extensive grounds, two contemporary pavilions have been constructed, offering 23 spacious two and three bedroom apartments.
Whether you’re looking to downsize from a large house, upscale from a city centre flat, or just find extra space and a nicer environment in which to work from home, Torwood has an apartment to suit your needs. There are 21 two and three bedroom apartments spread over two new contemporary pavilions, and each has their own balcony or terrace off the main living room. There are also 2 superb penthouses with roof terraces which wrap around three sides, giving spectacular views across the city.
All apartments benefit from allocated car parking and a curtain of mature trees shelters the development from the bustle of Corstorphine Road. Plots 1 and 2 also have their own private gardens and double garages.
AMA homes’ reputation is built on its quality of construction, design flair and attention to detail. These three elements come together beautifully at Torwood. There are quality touches throughout the homes, from the bespoke kitchens, complete with a range of Siemens and Liebherr appliances, to the immaculate, designer bathrooms. In addition, fitted wardrobes adorn all the bedrooms, with a carefully considered range of drawers, shelves and hanging space
Torwood is well placed to take advantage of these connections. Frequent bus services on Corstorphine Road can take you across the city, or out to the airport for travelling further afield. Haymarket Railway Station is around 20 minutes walk away where you can access the soon to be expanded tram network. If you’re travelling by car, the M8 to Glasgow is around 13 minutes away, while you could on the magnificent Queensferry Crossing heading north in around 20 minutes.
On your doorstep, the Water of Leith Walkway is a picturesque route, which can take you down past the magnificent Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art to the historical port, or whisk you away to the majestic Pentland Hills. The Roseburn Path is part of Edinburgh’s extensive cycling network and is another great way to get to Leith. Both routes will get you in touch with nature, but for more exotic experiences, Edinburgh Zoo is a short walk away.
A GREAT PLACE TO LIVE - Edinburgh is a very compact city, so walking is a great way to get around. You can hop on one of the frequent bus services running along Corstorphine Road and be on Princes Street in around 10 minutes. From there you can indulge in some retail therapy, enjoy top class restaurants offering food from around the world, or simply soak up the culture and history of one of the world’s great cities. There are great venues across the city, from the shore in Leith; Victoria Street and The Grassmarket in the Old Town; to George Street in the city centre. But you don’t have to travel far, you can walk to The Bothy, for coffee and cake or a full Sunday roast, enjoy fine dining at the appropriately named Dine, or pop into The Roseburn Bar for a pie and a pint in this wonderful traditional pub.
