Situated on a desirable street in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic New Town, this duplex apartment occupies the top two floors of an A-Listed, sub-divided Georgian townhouse which dates back to the 1830s. The building was converted into flats in the 1970s and is entered via a communal entrance hall with secure entry system, and handsome Georgian stair with striking cupola overhead.
The entrance to the apartment is accessed on the second floor. Internally, it has been sympathetically modernised to form a stylish city home with retained period features and a wonderfully bright south facing aspect.
The accommodation on the second floor has been laid with beautiful herringbone flooring throughout and comprises: a cosy sitting room with a wood burning stove; shaker style open plan kitchen and spacious dining room with bespoke built-in cabinetry; and a luxurious bathroom with four piece suite that includes a separate bath and walk-in shower as well as access to under-stair storage.
Upstairs, there are two well-proportioned double bedrooms both with built-in storage and feature fireplaces. Further storage is available off the upper landing.
The property has modern gas central heating and the windows are a mix of timber single glazed sash and case (with working shutters) and Velux timber double glazed units.
Permit parking is widely available on the street. Access to the beautiful Queen Street Gardens and East Circus Gardens is available for an annual subscription fee (subject to successful application).
