This impressive second-floor apartment is situated on an elegant square in Edinburgh's prestigious New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and conservation area. Forming part of an A-Listed Georgian building (circa 1808), the property boasts a classical façade and a leafy outlook over the attractive public gardens of Gayfield Square. Throughout, the interior design is exceptional, blending fine period character with contemporary design, offering an outstanding city home just moments from vibrant Broughton Street and St James Quarter.
The apartment enjoys a bright east–west aspect, ensuring wonderful natural light throughout the day. A particular highlight is the kitchen dining space, designed with entertaining in mind, featuring bespoke cabinetry, a Quooker water tap, and ample room for hosting. The sitting room exudes elegance with a marble fireplace housing a wood-burning stove, working window shutters, and stripped and sanded timber floors that continue throughout much of the property.
The versatile accommodation includes four bedrooms. The principal bedroom benefits from a recently replaced en suite shower room, while the main bathroom features a luxurious bath, ideal for relaxation. The second bedroom, currently used as an informal sitting room, also features a wood-burning stove, providing a cosy retreat. There is a further double bedroom with generous built-in wardrobes and a fourth bedroom or study with raised platform bed or mezzanine storage. Offering great convenience, the utility room off the hall houses a sink and space for both washer and dryer.
Heating and hot water are provided by a gas central heating system. The traditional sash and case windows have recently been painted along with the communal stair which is immaculately kept.
To the front of the property, Gayfield Square Garden, with its expansive grassy areas, beautiful mature trees and seating, provides a lovely space for residents and is the setting for various get together events organised by Gayfield Square Residents Association.
On-street parking is available by way of a residents parking permit.
