Set on the top floor of a handsome Georgian terrace in Edinburgh’s New Town, this substantial 4-bedroom apartment offers grand proportions, high ceilings and sweeping open outlooks across the city. The flat’s principal rooms—especially the impressive sitting room with marble fireplace and twin sash windows—retain exceptional period character and generous scale. Owners also benefit from access to the private Queen Street Gardens West and on-street permit parking.
The property is sold as a full renovation project: many original features remain, but the flat requires comprehensive updating and some systems renewal. It is A‑listed, so any alterations will be subject to listed‑building consent and could complicate or limit refurbishment options. Heating is gas central and windows are single glazed; modernisation would improve efficiency and comfort.
At approximately 2,282 sq ft, the layout suits family living or a high‑value rental let, offering four large bedrooms, a sizeable kitchen/dining room, separate WC, two bathrooms and useful cellar storage. Practical notes: broadband speeds are very slow locally, mobile signal is excellent, the annual factor charge is low at about £185, and council tax is described as quite expensive. This is a rare central New Town opportunity for a buyer prepared to restore and reimagine a landmark apartment.
