An impressive main‑door ground and lower‑ground maisonette occupying a corner position on Chester Street in Edinburgh’s West End. The apartment retains strong Victorian character throughout: circa 4m high ceilings, ornate cornicing, original sash-and-case windows with shutters, solid wood floors and extensive period panelling. The ground floor offers generous reception rooms and a principal bedroom with ensuite; the lower floor provides four further double bedrooms, an open-plan kitchen/reception, a third reception room and a bar area. Around 3,990 sq ft in total with a slate‑tiled wraparound patio and five cellars (three dry‑lined with power). A large powered garage on Chester Street Lane is available separately (Lot 2).
This property will suit buyers seeking a grand, characterful home or an investor targeting premium central Edinburgh lets, given the multiple ensuite bedrooms and versatile layout. Practical positives include excellent mobile signal, fast broadband and immediate access to Haymarket and the tram to the airport. The local area offers abundant amenities and several well‑regarded independent schools nearby.
Important considerations are factual: 22 Chester Street is Category B listed, which will restrict alterations and may complicate planning or refurbishment. The EPC is band D. The garage is not included in the lot and must be purchased separately. The wider data supplied flags area deprivation; prospective buyers should verify local data and rental demand independently. Buyers should also budget for listed‑property maintenance and obtain specialist advice before committing.
