8 Brandon Street is an imposing four-storey, Grade B‑listed Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh’s New Town, offering generous rooms, ornate period detailing and a private enclosed garden. The house has exceptional footprint and original features — cornicing, marble fireplaces, panelling and high ceilings — that will appeal to buyers who value classic character. A magnificent drawing room links to the principal suite, creating flexible entertaining or family configurations.
The lower levels include a substantial dining kitchen with AGA, basement bedroom and bathroom and four front cellars. The basement’s direct garden access and separate entrance present obvious potential for a self-contained flat for guests or rental income, subject to consents. A rare practical asset is the double garage accessed from Canon Lane, which also provides development options if planning and listed‑building permissions allow.
This house requires modernisation throughout and is offered as a renovation project. Its Grade B listed status and conservation-area location mean alterations will be controlled and may be time-consuming and costly. Council tax is very expensive; the property currently has an EPC rating of C. Despite investment needed, the site, scale and flexible layout deliver a compelling canvas for a distinguished family home or a high-end rental conversion in a prime central setting.
