Set on the first floor of a classic Georgian townhouse in Edinburgh’s prestigious West End, this well-presented two-bedroom flat blends period character with contemporary comfort. High ceilings, intricate cornicing, working shutters and large sash windows create a bright, elegant living environment, while a dual-aspect reception room flows into a modern kitchen and dining area ideal for everyday life and entertaining.
Both bedrooms are generous doubles with built-in storage and there is a modern bathroom plus a large internal cupboard for extra space. At approximately 985 sq ft the apartment feels spacious for a central location. Practical details include residents’ permit on-street parking, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband — useful for commuters and home workers.
Buyers should note the property is B-listed within the New Town conservation area; any alterations will be constrained and may require listed-building consents, which can add time and cost. Council tax is above average and the EPC is C. The surrounding area is lively and cosmopolitan with a strong student presence, which brings good local amenities and transport but may not suit buyers seeking a very quiet setting.
This property will appeal to professionals, couples or those wanting a characterful city base close to Haymarket, the tram and central Edinburgh. It offers immediate move-in condition with scope for sympathetic updating where permitted by the building’s listed status.
