An elegant second-floor apartment in Edinburgh’s prestigious New Town, with excellent period character, a well-maintained communal garden and under-street cellar

Description

An elegant B-listed second-floor apartment forming part of a handsome Georgian tenement in the heart of Edinburgh’s highly sought-after New Town. Beautifully combining period character with contemporary finishes, the property offers well-proportioned and flexible accommodation, making an excellent city-centre home or investment.

The property is entered via a well-maintained communal stair, with the accommodation opening into a welcoming central hall. The impressive sitting room is particularly bright and spacious, with two large sash and case windows overlooking the pretty street below. A traditional fireplace provides an attractive focal point, while the high ceiling, working shutters and natural timber flooring further enhance the period character of the room.

The recently installed kitchen is positioned to the rear and has been thoughtfully designed with a contemporary range of wall and floor-mounted units, quality work surfaces and integrated appliances.

The principal bedroom is a generous double room with excellent proportions and a traditional Edinburgh Press, providing useful additional storage.

The box room, accessed from the sitting room, is a particularly versatile space and is currently utilised as a small bedroom. It could equally be used as a home office, dressing room or additional storage, depending on the requirements of the new owner. A well-appointed bathroom completes the accommodation.

The property further benefits from an external cellar, providing valuable additional storage, together with access to a south-facing communal rear garden.

Access to Queen Street Gardens is available on application and payment of an annual fee.
