56/5 Thistle Street is a stunning 3-bedroom apartment occupying the top floor of a traditional period terrace. In 2001 the building was converted from a former auction house by the renowned developers Sundial Properties. This apartment - which extends to 2316 square feet - occupies the entire top floor and benefits from lovely views over the Firth of Forth to Fife. The property is accessed via a secure entry phone system to a well-kept communal hallway where a stair rises to the third floor. Internally, the property is in excellent decorative order throughout and features contemporary bath and shower rooms and a stunning kitchen with large dining area. Of particular note is the exceptional double-height sitting room which also incorporates an impressive mezzanine level - currently housing a study area. The sitting room is linked to the dining kitchen via a set of double doors making a superb space in which to entertain. In addition to the master bedroom with its en-suite shower room, there are two further double bedrooms and a large family bathroom. Maintenance of the roof and communal areas is the responsibility of all 5 flats with the costs shared equally. The communal areas were last redecorated earlier in 2011.

Thistle Street is a very centrally located cobbled street within Edinburgh's New Town. The property is positioned between Frederick Street and Hanover Street and is within a very short walk of the many amenities in George Street and Princes Street. There is an abundance of popular restaurants, bars and shops within easy reach including Harvey Nichol and a range of fine boutiques in Multrees Walk. Waverly train station is also nearby along with the open green spaces of St Andrew Square, Princes Street Gardens and Queen Street Gardens.

A single garage on the ground floor under the flat with access to the rear lane is available separately. On-street parking is by way of residents' permit obtained from Edinburgh City Council.
