B‑listed Georgian townhouse—period detail and alteration restrictions

Private walled rear garden with mature trees and lawn

Set over three generous floors, this B‑listed Georgian townhouse in Newington offers substantial family living with period detail and a rare private walled garden. The house has six double bedrooms, formal reception rooms and flexible lower‑ground accommodation totalling around 3,147 sq ft—suitable for a large family or shared occupation. High ceilings, cornicing, wood floors and a principal room with open aspects towards Arthur’s Seat give the home strong character and a central Edinburgh address.
The rear garden is a standout: a secluded, well‑tended walled space with mature trees and lawn that provides a safe place for children and privacy for entertaining. Internally the house is well presented in many rooms with a modern kitchen, a glass-box garden room and useful lower-ground stores. Practical modern comforts include excellent mobile signal and fast broadband, while on‑street permit parking serves the property.
Important practical points: this is a B‑listed building, which will restrict alterations and may complicate maintenance or full modernisation. There are only two bathrooms for six bedrooms, and the property sits in an area described as deprived with a high Council Tax band (Band G), so running costs and some neighbourhood pressures should be considered. Parking is on‑street only, and listed‑building requirements may mean higher long‑term upkeep costs.
For families who value space, period character and a private urban garden close to central Edinburgh, this townhouse offers exceptional potential. Buyers planning major renovation should budget for listed‑building consents and factor in the limited bathroom provision and council tax costs when assessing total ownership expenses.
