Description

Forming part of a characterful Category B listed building dating from around 1800, this top floor flat enjoys a superb position on the historic Royal Mile. The property is accessed via a communal stair and offers well proportioned accommodation extending to approximately 60 sqm.

The accommodation comprises an entrance hall, a bright open plan living room and kitchen, two bedrooms, and a bathroom. The living space provides ample room for both seating and dining, making it well suited to modern living and entertaining. From the windows, there are attractive rooftop views across the surrounding Old Town skyline, taking in the characterful architecture and historic setting for which the area is renowned. The second bedroom offers flexibility and could function equally well as a home office, study, or guest room, depending on individual requirements.
