4 bedroom apartment

This duplex apartment is located on the second and third floors of the west block. The lower floor has an entrance vestibule, with a utility room and store cupboard off, leading into the hallway with stairs to the upper floor.

There is a beautiful kitchen, with ample space for a breakfast table and a sliding glass door which opens on to the spacious living room. This impressive room features windows to the north, west and south, with patio doors opening out onto the west-facing terrace. In addition, the lower floor has a separate dining room and downstairs WC.

Upstairs, there is a superb principal bedroom suite with its own dressing area and large en suite featuring a bath and separate shower. There are two further bedrooms with en suite shower rooms, and a fourth bedroom which could be used as a study.

The apartment benefits from a single parking space in the secure underground car park and there is lift access to all floors.

While the aesthetic may borrow from historical design details, its interpretation and implementation is strictly modern. The white walls echo the whitewashed cottages at Cramond harbour but are coated in a hardwearing Sto polymer-based render, which has excellent colour retention. Add in the powder-coated aluminium window frames and milled aluminium gutters and downpipes, and there is a significant reduction in the need for ongoing exterior maintenance.

The apartment interiors are light and spacious, and benefit from zoned underfloor heating and excellent insulation, making them very energy efficient. There is also lift access to all floors from the secure underground car park.

Caer Amon has been one of our most ambitious developments to date in terms of its architectural vision, size and scope. As well as apartments, the development includes detached villas, townhouses and crescent courtyard houses. This contemporary take on Scottish vernacular architecture, designed by Richard Murphy Architects, has won several national awards.

Location

Caer Amon lies in Cramond – one of the capital’s hidden gems and an historic, much sought after residential area, nestling along the Almond Valley on the banks of the Firth of Forth.

Cramond has a long history as a settlement and a woodland walk from Caer Amon takes you past the remains of a Roman fort, which sits beside the beautiful church, dating back to the 15th century. At the foot of the valley lies the harbour, once a thriving port carrying iron from the foundries that once lay along the River Almond and now a berth for yachts and popular resting place for walkers to admire the views across the Forth to Fife.

It’s easy to forget you’re so close to the city when you have such natural riches on your doorstep, but The Caer Amon Apartments are less than 6 miles from the heart of Edinburgh. For shopping nearer to home, The Gyle shopping centre and range of supermarkets are a short drive away. There are excellent local state and private schools and The Crescents is well placed to access both Heriot Watt University and Edinburgh College’s Granton Campus. And if you’re keen to keep fit, there are several golf courses nearby and Cramond Boat Club is based at the nearby harbour.
