Royal Park Terrace, Abbeyhill, Edinburgh

The property has been INDEPENDENTLY VALUED at £515,000 by a Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (RICS) qualified surveyor. Central duplex with flexible living, two bathrooms, near Holyrood Park, buses and Waverley station.





Set within a handsome stone building, this duplex combines character with contemporary finishes over two well-planned levels.

Entry is via a bright hall leading to a versatile reception zone that flows into a sociable lounge/diner. The separate kitchen presents streamlined cabinetry and generous worktop space. A shower room with modern tiling serves this level, while a further flexible room is ideal for sleeping accommodation, study or hobbies.

A striking staircase rises to the upper floor where the principal room enjoys an en-suite, excellent fitted storage and pleasant outlooks to the shared rear gardens. The arrangement offers great day-to-day practicality for first-time buyers or investors seeking strong rental appeal.

The setting sits in the heart of the Southside, moments from Nicolson Street and Clerk Street for everyday shopping, cafes, world foods, theatres and an energetic evening scene. Major cultural venues and university buildings around the Pleasance and George Square are close at hand, putting festivals and year-round events on the doorstep.

Commuting is straightforward: frequent buses run along the main corridors for quick journeys across the centre, Waverley rail station is within easy reach, and the tram network provides direct links to the airport via St Andrew Square and Princes Street. Dedicated cycle routes, bike hire hubs and car-club bays support low-car living.

Green space is a standout. Holyrood Park and Arthur's Seat invite weekend walks, runs and panoramic viewpoints, while The Meadows offers tree-lined paths, tennis courts and picnic lawns. Calton Hill, the Crags and a choice of smaller pocket parks add variety for daily exercise. Everyday services include gyms, swimming pools, libraries and health centres dotted throughout the district, with larger supermarkets and the St James Quarter reachable by bus or on foot.

Schooling is well covered with nearby primaries such as Preston Street and Sciennes, and secondary options including James Gillespie's High; respected independent choices like George Heriot's and George Watson's are accessible by public transport. With flexible interiors, two bath/shower rooms and a position that puts culture, parks and transport within easy reach, this home is ready for its next chapter.
