Set within Edinburgh’s elegant New Town, this expansive two-bedroom second-floor apartment occupies 1,282 sq ft of well-proportioned living space. High ceilings, large sash windows and a working period fireplace give the principal reception room strong character, while a flagged dining kitchen with integrated appliances suits everyday life and entertaining.
Both double bedrooms offer generous proportions and flexible spaces: the principal bedroom includes an extended entry area suitable for a home office or reading nook, and a third smaller room currently used as a dressing room could serve as a study. The shower room is fully tiled with contemporary fittings. Residents benefit from access to the private communal gardens of Gayfield Square and on-street parking by resident permit.
Important practical points: the property is A-listed within the New Town conservation area, which will restrict alterations and can complicate works and permissions. Service charges are modest at £126 per year for stair cleaning, but council tax is above average. The property is freehold and has excellent mobile signal and fast broadband.
This home suits buyers who value period character, central convenience and generous room sizes—ideal for couples, professionals or those seeking a comfortable city base with scope for sympathetic upgrading rather than major rebuilds.
