Occupying the entire second floor of a Category A Listed Georgian building, this expansive four-bedroom apartment blends grand period proportions with commanding city views. A south-facing reception room faces Queen Street Gardens, while rear windows frame the Firth of Forth, filling rooms with natural light and showcasing original cornicing and high ceilings. At approximately 2,125 sq ft the layout includes a separate kitchen, two bathrooms, a utility room and generous built-in storage — suitable for family living or a professional household.
Located in Edinburgh’s UNESCO-listed New Town, the flat offers immediate access to George Street, Princes Street and the St James Quarter, plus excellent public transport including nearby tram and train links. Residents can apply for access to the maintained Queen Street Gardens (modest annual fee) and benefit from Zone 2 residents’ permit parking; limited on-street spaces are available. Fast broadband and excellent mobile signal support modern working needs.
Buyer note: as a Category A Listed property, any alterations will be subject to strict planning and listed-building consent, which can complicate renovation plans. Council tax for the building is described as quite expensive and the property has on-street parking only. The surrounding area is classified as deprived in local indices, despite its central, amenity-rich location.
This apartment will suit buyers seeking an architecturally significant, spacious home in the heart of the city — those prepared to live with conservation constraints and the practicalities of listed-building ownership.
