Nelson Street, New Town, Edinburgh, EH3

A distinguished five bedroom residence with private garden in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town

Description

9a Nelson Street is an elegant and substantial New Town residence with beautifully proportioned accommodation arranged over the lower ground and basement levels of a handsome period building. The property combines the grace and scale associated with Edinburgh’s Georgian architecture as a historical hotel before being converted into dwellings in the late 1990's but has a wonderfully practical layout suited to modern family living, entertaining and working from home.

The principal reception room is particularly appealing, with generous proportions, a large sash window, decorative cornicing, a ceiling rose and a handsome fireplace creating a refined and welcoming setting. The room enjoys a calm outlook over the private rear garden and has the sense of comfort and permanence that discerning buyers seek in a New Town home.

The kitchen/dining room has direct access to a private patio, allowing for an easy connection between indoor and outdoor living with a feature island, granite worktops, quality fittings and appliances throughout. This arrangement is especially attractive for entertaining, with space for informal dining and direct access to the garden area. The outdoor space is a notable feature: sheltered by traditional stone walls and arranged with paved seating areas, planting and a lawn, it provides a rare private retreat in such a central Edinburgh location.

Bedroom accommodation is extensive, with five bedrooms to accommodate a variety of uses. The primary bedroom is impressively sized and benefits from an immaculately presented en-suite bathroom plus built in storage and ample floorspace.

Four further bedrooms offer flexibility for family, guests or home working. There is currently a short term let license in place and subject to a successful transfer has great potential for income generation. There is also a shower room servicing the first floor bedrooms also upgraded.

Completing the accommodation is a separate utility room housing both a Meile washer and dryer, walk-in closet, storage room and a porch area, all contributing to the overall practicality of the property. The cellars to the front of the property are private for further storage, contributing to a home of substance that can accommodate larger families or hosted groups. These have already been fitted with power supply by the current vendor.

Owners of the property will benefit from access to the coveted Queen Street Gardens East for a modest charge of £150 per annum forming a staple part of the local wonderful community.

With its substantial footprint, period character, private outside space and coveted New Town address, 9a Nelson Street presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a highly desirable home in one of Edinburgh’s most beloved residential areas.
