A grand, three-storey Georgian townhouse in Hillside offering substantial space across approximately 3,536 sq ft. The property has been run previously as a small hotel and presents eight principal bedrooms (six with ensuites), a further study/bedroom, large drawing room, dining room and a fitted kitchen — well suited to investors, HMO conversion, or a large family seeking central city living with character. Original period features are intact throughout: ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, feature fireplaces, sash-and-case windows and an impressive cupola that floods the inner hall with light.
Practical elements already in place include a modern gas central heating system, three front cellars, a rear garden accessed from lower ground level and a private courtyard. Broadband and mobile signal are excellent, and the house benefits from generous room proportions and tall ceilings that maximise light and the feeling of space. Fixtures, fittings and many window coverings are included in the sale; this widens immediate re-letting or occupation options.
Notable considerations: the property sits in an area described as having higher deprivation and has on-street permit/pay-and-display parking only (zone N1). It was previously operated as a hotel — any future change of use, licensing or planning for HMO status should be checked with the local authority. The sale is freehold but comes with no warranties or guarantees; buyers must verify services, measurements and legal compliance. Council Tax band and EPC grade are provided but purchasers should satisfy themselves of all technical details.
This is a rare central-Edinburgh townhouse that combines strong period character with clear income or family-use potential. For an investor it represents immediate lettable accommodation or conversion opportunity; for a family it offers generous reception rooms and bedroom space close to the city centre, theatres and transport links.
