Description
The entrance and upper floor of 9 Leopold is via a gated front patio, a few steps below Street level. Forming part of an impressive A-listed building, the property sits within William Playfair's historic Eastern Entrance to the New Town development (Calton Scheme of 1820), designed to offer high-quality private housing" Split over two levels with spacious rooms and a bathroom on each floor, it was purchased in 2006 and fully refurbished in the early years. Now tired and needing a makeover. The works required are largely cosmetic. In our opinion, the 19-year-old kitchen needs replacing (though appliances are much more recent). The building was 200 years old in 2025. Adjacent to a main city artery, the property is remarkably quiet, especially since the main bus routes relocated to Regent Terrace in 2021. The location is phenomenal—a few steps to the heart of the city. A short stroll from the excellent St James Quarter and convenient for world-class amenities and transport links by tram, train and bus.
The accommodation is both characterful and cosy. The property is in fair decorative order and comprises a tiled entrance hallway, with hardwood flooring throughout. The upper level has a principal bedroom with dressing room and en-suite shower room. The lower level offers; open-plan living/dining room with fully fitted kitchen, a second, large double bedroom with dressing room and adjacent shower room.
The property benefits from gas central heating (boiler replaced in 2023), electric underfloor heating in both bathrooms, and bike shed/storage. The current owners have not pursued this option, as it is not convenient for them. Neighbours have fitted out and occupied theirs. For an annual fee, residents enjoy access to 11 acres of private gardens nearby—a haven for dog walkers and others. There is an entitlement to 2 zoned parking permits. (Fees apply). Fitted carpets and floor coverings, light fittings, curtains, hob, oven, tumble dryer, washing machine and fridge freezer are included in the sale. All appliances are sold as seen with no warranty provided.
