Location

Great King Street is the central avenue of the New Town, dating from the early part of the 19th Century.

The private gardens of Drummond Place lie to the eastern end and those of Royal Circus at the western end. It is particularly well suited for access to all the amenities of the city centre with George Street and Princes Street just 1/4 mile away.

Waverley Train Station with regular train services to London is less than half a mile and there is good road access westwards towards the bypass, Edinburgh airport and Central Scotland Motorway Network.

There are a number of excellent independent schools within easy reach, including Cargilfield, Fettes College, The Edinburgh Academy, Stewart's Melville and Mary Erskine and St. George's School for Girls.

Description

Occupying the preferred first floor of a handsome Georgian townhouse, this charming apartment enjoys a prestigious position on Great King Street, widely regarded as one of Edinburgh's most desirable addresses within the city's historic New Town.

The property offers elegant proportions throughout, with exceptional natural light and original period features. Entered via a well-maintained communal stair, the accommodation opens into a welcoming entrance hall with a useful storage cupboard.

To the front of the property are two generously sized double bedrooms, one of which was more recently used as a comfortable sitting room. To the rear, the impressive drawing room-style living and dining room enjoys a sunny southerly aspect and provides a wonderful space for entertaining. A separate kitchen sits just off this room, along with a well-appointed bathroom.

The layout offers flexibility to suit different needs, whether as a spacious one-bedroom home with grand entertaining space, or a two-bedroom city centre residence.

While the property would now benefit from modernisation, it presents an exciting opportunity to create a stylish and bespoke home in the heart of Edinburgh.
