Bartholomew House, 25 South Gray Street, Edinburgh, EH9

An exceptionally spacious townhouse occupying the western portion of the impressive Bartholomew House with its Corinthian columns and pediment. Converted by The Burrell Company, architects, and formally opened by HRH Princess Anne, the Princess Royal, it is currently laid out as three bedrooms and two large public rooms, and occupies an attractive corner position fronting Duncan Street in the highly regarded Newington area of Edinburgh.


The property combines substantial proportions with large windows providing an abundance of natural light and character. The attractive ashlar stone frontage, traditional sash-and-case windows and impressive entrance with glazed double doors create a striking first impression.
The ground floor provides an outstanding principal reception space. This exceptionally generous sitting room is entered via double doors, and creates an open and versatile area for living, with timber fire surround and living flame gas fire, various sash and case windows and a large arched window formation incorporating French windows and a Juliet balcony on to South Gray Street.

A family bathroom with white suite and decorated with Osborne & Little wallpaper, impressive staircase and under-stair storage complete this level.

The first floor offers a bright and spacious sitting/dining room featuring a wonderful arrangement of tall windows flooding the room with natural light. There is ample space for both a seating and a dining area and a contemporary wall hung living flame fire. This floor also includes a well-equipped separate kitchen with fitted base and wall units, a double bedroom with built in wardrobes, full bathroom, study area and useful storage.

The second floor houses two further double bedrooms, one with French windows and a Juliet balcony, the other with built in wardrobes with lighting, a shower room with under-floor heating, and further useful storage. The upper-floor accommodation provides a comfortable degree of separation from the principal living areas, with the versatility to be utilised as a generous master-suite by using one of the bedrooms as a dressing room.

The property has a flexible layout, with the substantial reception rooms providing scope for various uses, depending on the purchaser's requirements. The generous room dimensions, high ceilings and abundance of windows give the house an impressive sense of volume and light. There are two off-street parking spaces accessed via automatic gates.
