A rare A‑listed, Georgian apartment in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, this four-bedroom flat occupies a handsome courtyard building with striking views to Salisbury Crags and Arthur’s Seat. High ceilings, sash windows, decorative cornicing, working shutters and original fireplaces give the principal rooms an authentic period feel. The sitting room is impressive and generously proportioned; the kitchen/dining room provides practical family or shared living space.
The apartment comes with a secure communal cellar and access to a well‑kept shared courtyard—an unusually peaceful enclave for the Royal Mile. At approximately 1,675 sq ft, the overall footprint is comfortable for multi-occupant use: three double bedrooms plus a fourth bedroom/study and a contemporary shower room. Freehold tenure and excellent mobile signal add practical convenience for commuters and professional tenants.
Buyers should note material constraints: the A‑listing brings restrictions and will complicate alterations and maintenance. Broadband speeds are slow in this location and council tax is described as expensive. The property sits in a very deprived local area classification with high student and commuter activity, which may influence rental demand, noise levels and long‑term use.
This apartment suits investors, professional sharers or buyers seeking a character home in a UNESCO World Heritage setting who accept listed‑building constraints. It offers immediate occupancy with scope for sympathetic upgrading where permitted — a chance to own a piece of Edinburgh history with excellent central access and memorable views.
