Fitted appliances include an Everhot Electric Range Cooker, Fisher and Paykel fridge / freezer and integrated dishwasher.

The dining room at the front of the ground floor is accessed through double doors from the kitchen to create an open plan entertaining space. There is beautiful Georgian period detail throughout including c.4.5m high ceilings, ornate cornicing, astragal windows and original fireplace.

The utility room is off the kitchen with 2x Bosch washer dryers, sink as well as newly fitted Worcester and Bosch boiler and large hot water tank. A guest WC is also on the ground floor.

The first floor is accessed by a beautiful staircase with ornamental mahogany balustrade and cast iron railings which spans up to the 2nd floor and is flooded in natural light from the cupola above.

The impressive drawing room with three floor to ceiling windows looking over Carlton Street runs the entire width of the house and is full of original period details including 4.5m high ceilings, ornate cornicing, astragal windows and period fireplace.

The principal bedroom is at the rear of the first floor and benefits from the same beautiful Georgian period features, with views south west over the private garden to the rear. It also contains an extremely spacious walk-in wardrobe.

A large en suite bathroom has been fitted to the highest standard off the principal bedroom with double shower and separate bath.

The second floor has three further double bedrooms (one with en suite) and a family shower room.

There is a short term let licence for this one bedroom basement apartment which is valid until March 2028. This presents great flexibility as the basement can be separated and rented out as a source of income, or it can be fully incorporated into the home.

The rear of the basement can be separated from the one bedroom apartment. It contains the family room with another kitchen and bedroom 6 / study.

The private south-west facing garden is accessed directly from the basement kitchen and bedroom 6 / study. The garden has been landscaped to create a low maintenance space for entertaining, with a paved seating area by the house, rising to a well kept lawn with Japanese fences on either side.

Two under pavement cellars are to the front of the house. Both have been dry lined with power.

Carlton Street is a quiet street just off the high street in Stockbridge.

Built by James Milne in 1824 and forming part of the redevelopment of the land by Sir Henry Raeburn, the design is a major example of early to mid century urban classicism in Edinburgh and is an integral part of Edinburgh's New Town.

8 Carlton Street is a category A listed building.

Located in Stockbridge, 1 mile north west of the city centre, the area is characterised by its village feel with a number of independent coffee shops, boutiques and retailers along Raeburn Place. It is a particularly green area and as such is highly sought after, being so close to Inverleith Park, as well as sports facilities at the Grange Sports Club (Cricket, Hockey, Tennis & Squash) as well as Edinburgh Accies for rugby.

The Edinburgh Accies ground at Raeburn Place is famous for being the site of the first ever international rugby match in March 1871 (Scotland beat England).

Carlton Street is in the catchment area for Stockbridge or St Mary's RC Primary Schools. Broughton High School or St Thomas of Aquin's RC High School are the options for secondary schools. Excellent independent schools nearby include Fettes College, Edinburgh Academy, ESMS and St George's School for Girls.
