Great King Street, New Town, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH3

Prime New Town ground floor apartment with private south facing garden and connected private garage

Description

Occupying a prime position on one of Edinburgh’s most distinguished Georgian streets, this ground floor apartment with private south facing garden and garage represents a rarely available and unique opportunity to acquire a property of genuine character and substance, with outstanding scope for enhancement.

The accommodation is well-proportioned throughout and retains a natural sense of flow, lending itself perfectly to thoughtful reconfiguration and modernisation. The property offers the discerning purchaser a unique chance to create a refined and contemporary home within the architectural splendour of the New Town.

A welcoming hallway leads through to the principal accommodation. At the heart of the home lies a generous sitting room with wonderful period features including central fireplace, high ceilings and retained cornicing. The impressive footprint is ideally suited to both formal entertaining and everyday living with ample room for dining and soft furnishings. The proportions of this space offer considerable flexibility, with clear potential to create an open-plan kitchen, dining and living environment that maximises light and volume while enjoying views to the rear of the private garden.

The kitchen, currently arranged as a separate room, is conveniently positioned and offers further scope for redesign, whether retained in its current location or incorporated into a wider open-plan scheme.

The accommodation comprises three well-sized bedrooms, including a principal bedroom with the benefit of an en-suite shower room. The remaining rooms provide flexibility for guest accommodation, home working or additional living space, supported by a family bathroom.

Throughout, the property presents an excellent foundation upon which to introduce high-quality finishes and bespoke design, enabling the creation of a truly exceptional home tailored to modern requirements.

Of particular note is the private south-facing garden, an increasingly rare and highly prized feature within the New Town. This secluded outdoor space enjoys excellent natural light throughout the day and has been maintained but offers further scope given its ample size.

In addition, the property benefits from a connected private garage accessed through the garden and from Northumberland Street North West Lane, a valuable asset that further enhances both convenience and desirability in this central location.
