Scotland Street, New Town, Edinburgh, Midlothian, EH3

A handsome, three bedroom, first floor Georgian corner apartment overlooking King George V Park benefiting from a shared rear garden

Description

Occupying a prominent corner position on one of the New Town’s most characterful streets, 41/2 Scotland Street is an elegant first floor Georgian flat with generous proportions, fine period detail and wonderful open aspects towards King George V Park.

Extending to approximately 1,450 sq ft, the accommodation is arranged across a particularly well-balanced lateral layout, with principal rooms enjoying excellent natural light from tall sash and case windows. The first floor position gives the flat a pleasing sense of elevation, while the outlook towards the park provides greenery, privacy and a rare feeling of openness so close to the heart of the city.

The sitting room is a beautifully proportioned space, enhanced by high ceilings, decorative cornicing, working shutters, timber flooring and a handsome fireplace surround. To the rear, the kitchen/dining room is notably spacious, measuring over 21 ft in length, and provides ample space for dining as well as practical kitchen storage and preparation areas. A separate utility room adds further convenience.

There are three double bedrooms, each of comfortable scale. The principal bedroom is particularly generous and benefits from an ensuite bathroom and a walk-in wardrobe, creating an attractive private suite. A further shower room serves the remaining accommodation.

With its combination of elegant period architecture, substantial room sizes and a peaceful outlook over parkland, this is a superb New Town home of considerable charm and presence located on a quiet road, a short walk from the city centre.
