12 Lochend Close, Old Town, Edinburgh, EH8 8BL

Tucked away in Edinburgh’s atmospheric Old Town, 12 Lochend Close is a beautifully presented converted three-storey mews home offering a quiet retreat just moments from the vibrancy of the Royal Mile. This two bedroom, two-bathroom property combines thoughtful modern design with a characterful setting, providing a rare opportunity to enjoy both privacy and proximity in the heart of the city.

The layout is thoughtfully planned over three levels. The ground floor hosts a spacious double bedroom with built-in storage alongside a generous bathroom with separate shower, creating a private and self-contained area for guests or flexible living.

On the first floor, a bright and welcoming sitting room forms the heart of the home. Just across the landing, the separate kitchen is well-appointed, featuring, generous worktop space and cabinetry and room to dine-perfect for both daily use and entertaining.

The top floor is dedicated to the principal bedroom, a quiet and comfortable retreat with fitted wardrobes and a shower room. This elevated position offers a true sense of privacy, with the living areas thoughtfully separated below.

Outside, the property benefits from its own private parking space-an increasingly rare asset in this part of the city. Residents also have direct access to Dunbars Close Gardens, a beautifully landscaped, secluded green space tucked quietly behind the historic facades of the Royal Mile.
