There are two generously sized double bedrooms, both offering excellent storage potential, and a contemporary bathroom. In addition, the property benefits from useful attic space, providing valuable additional storage.

The property benefits from on-street permit parking, and access to the Walker Garden, accessed from Rothesay Place, upon application for a modest annual fee.

Location:
Edinburgh’s West End is one of the city’s most desirable and prestigious neighbourhoods, celebrated for its elegant architecture, leafy streets and exceptional central convenience. Lying at the western edge of the New Town, the area is characterised by handsome Victorian and Georgian terraces, tranquil mews lanes and a refined residential atmosphere, all just moments from the heart of the capital.
The West End offers an outstanding lifestyle, with a wide selection of independent cafés, acclaimed restaurants, stylish bars and cultural venues close at hand. Princes Street, George Street and the financial district are within easy walking distance, while nearby green spaces such as Princes Street Gardens and the Water of Leith Walkway provide welcome outdoor escapes.
Transport links are excellent. Haymarket Station is a short walk away, offering regular rail services across Scotland and direct links to Edinburgh Airport via the tram. The tram network, bus routes and road connections ensure effortless access throughout the city and beyond.
Despite its central position, the West End is prized for its peaceful feel, with many quiet streets and secluded pockets that offer privacy rarely found in city-centre living. Combining elegance, convenience and tranquillity, Edinburgh’s West End remains a consistently sought-after location for professionals, downsizers and families alike.
