Description

Flat 8, 1 Parliament Square is an exceptional Grade A listed two-bedroom apartment, occupying the first floor of a classic Georgian building amid the historic charm and cobbled streets of Edinburgh’s Old Town. Boasting a prestigious location, it offers captivating views of St Giles’ Cathedral and sits just three-hundred metres from the entrance to Edinburgh Castle.

Lovingly cared for, the property perfectly balances traditional character with modern comfort. Entry is through an impressive door with elegant period glass panelling, leading into a spacious, high-ceilinged hallway that immediately sets a welcoming tone.

To the right, the bright and airy open-plan living and dining area enjoys abundant natural light, high ceilings, and well-kept carpeting. This space benefits from striking views of St Giles’ Cathedral and flows seamlessly into the well-equipped kitchen, which can also be accessed directly from the hallway. The kitchen features ample wall and base units along with integrated appliances for convenience.

At the elevated end of the hallway are two generous double bedrooms positioned opposite each other. The first bedroom benefits from three windows and includes two large built-in wardrobes. The second bedroom features a stylish en-suite shower room and space for freestanding furniture, with frosted glass panels that gently filter light into the hallway and add architectural interest.
