Description

28 Abercromby Place is a beautifully finished upper townhouse on one of the most sought-after streets in Edinburgh's New Town.

This home was completely refurbished by Lorn McNeil Architects in 2012, including new electrics, new heating, a refurbished roof, new kitchens, new bathrooms, new flooring, the installation of a lift, and complete redecoration. It is now presented in turnkey condition.

You enter the home into a particularly wide entrance hallway filled with Georgian period detail, including approximately 4.5-meter-high ceilings, ornate cornicing, Corinthian pillars, and flagstone flooring.

The living room is at the front of the ground floor, featuring engineered wood flooring throughout, as well as a black marble mantlepiece with a Stonecraft gas fire. The original astragal windows have been retained along with the working shutters, and look directly onto Queen Street Gardens (private residents' gardens) opposite.

The dining kitchen is located at the rear of the ground floor. The bespoke fitted kitchen (by Kitchens International) features white Corian worktops on both the kitchen island and countertops, over white kitchen cabinets. Integrated appliances include two Siemens ovens, two Siemens fridge/freezers, a Gaggenau induction hob, Gaggenau Teppanaki grill, and Gaggenau gas ring.

The downstairs WC is at the rear of the home.

A lift (fitted in 2012, with a newly installed motor in 2025) is also located at the rear of the home and runs to the second floor.

The first floor is accessed by a wide stone staircase with an original cupola above, allowing plenty of natural light in.

The large drawing room spans the entire width at the front of the first floor, with three floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Queen Street Gardens. Engineered wood flooring runs throughout this impressive room. A Stonecraft gas fire sits in the mantlepiece.

The principal bedroom is at the rear of the first floor, with integrated wardrobes running along the rear wall. The en suite bathroom features a separate bath and shower.

The second floor has three further bedrooms, a utility room, and a shower room with WC.

Double bedroom 2 is directly above the principal bedroom and benefits from the same generous proportions and integrated wardrobes, as well as stunning views north over the New Town to the Firth of Forth and Fife.

Double bedrooms 3 and 4 are both well-proportioned rooms at the front of the home.

The shower room, with WC and sink, is located in the middle of the second floor.

A useful utility room with integrated John Lewis washing machine and tumble dryer is also in the middle of the second floor.

There is planning permission to install a roof terrace (the images of the rooftop terrace were created using CGI and are not an exact replica for consented scheme).

There is excellent storage throughout the home. One under-pavement cellar (unlined) is located at the front of the home.

Abercromby Place is one of Edinburgh's most attractive and sought-after streets. It is a long, graceful terrace of elegant grey stone houses dating from the early 1800s.

The houses face south and overlook the mature trees of Queen Street Gardens.

The street is one of the most significant in Edinburgh's New Town, and several of its earliest residents were key figures in Scotland's 18th-century Enlightenment.

The architects William Sibbald and Robert Reid's plans to build Abercromby Place were approved in 1802, with the street completed between 1806 and 1819.

The New Town remains one of Edinburgh's most desirable residential areas. Located in the city centre, the area is characterised by its grand Georgian terraces, strikingly wide streets, and well-maintained communal gardens. It is the largest complete example of Georgian town planning in the world.

Excellent shopping and amenities are located within walking distance in the city centre.

Residents of Abercromby Place enjoy access to the picturesque Queen Street Gardens, upon payment of a modest annual fee.

The property falls within the catchment area for Broughton Primary School and St Mary's RC Primary School. Secondary options include Drummond Community High School and St Thomas of Aquin's.

There are also a number of outstanding independent schools nearby, including Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, ESMS, and St George's School for Girls.
