CASE STUDY:

CLARENCE STREET

Renovating or restoring an older property can seem a
daunting prospect, but there are local experts out there
who can help you through the process and create your
perfect home. We spoke to the team at Edel who helped
a homeowner in Clarence Street in the heart of the New
Town return their home to its former glory.

With extensive experience in restoring and
transforming Georgian and Victorian properties, Edel
takes a holistic approach to period refurbishments.
A recent project in Stockbridge provides an excellent
example of period property charm, the kind of charm
that many of us crave for our homes. Working closely
with their client, Edel transformed the space to
accommodate modern day living in a Georgian home.
A wonderful project which perfectly illustrates Edel’s
passion for seamlessly blending old and new.

Built on James Peddie’s Estate, Clarence Street is
tucked away but is still close to the Water of Leith
and the bustle of Stockbridge. A beautiful location for
a beautiful property, this two-bedroom apartment is
perfectly proportioned. Edel took a sensitive approach
to the design, highlighting the property’s stunning
features and complementing the client’s existing
furniture and belongings. Finishes and detailing were
carefully considered, from the door ironmongery
to radiator finishes, faceplates to sanitaryware. By
emphasising warm tones throughout the property,
a relaxed and inviting aesthetic was achieved.

Optimising the space available, the kitchen was
relocated into the rear principal room, forming a
gorgeous dining kitchen complete with marble
fireplace. A new oak herringbone parquet flooring was
installed throughout, enriching the warm tones and
creating perfect flow and harmony.
