Large three-bedroom New Town apartment with period character and city-centre convenience.
Third-floor Georgian apartment with views toward Edinburgh Castle
Set on the third floor of a handsome Georgian mixed-use building in Edinburgh’s New Town, this generously proportioned three-bedroom home offers classic period character and sweeping views toward Edinburgh Castle. At around 1,729 sqft the apartment feels spacious by city-centre standards, with high ceilings, a bay-windowed living room and a working fireplace that emphasise the home’s historic charm.
The accommodation includes a hall, sitting/dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, master bedroom with ensuite, a further double, a single bedroom plus a study and main bathroom. The layout suits a professional couple, city family or buyer seeking an adaptable central home close to boutiques, restaurants, public transport and the university.
Buyers should note practical constraints: the property has an EPC rating of D and is in Council Tax Band G, so running costs and tax will be above average. Broadband speeds are reported as very slow despite excellent mobile signal. The wider area is classified as a cosmopolitan student and commuter neighbourhood and can be lively at times — important for those seeking quiet residential streets.
Overall this freehold, traditionally laid-out apartment is a strong option for purchasers who value location, period character and generous internal space, and who are comfortable managing the practicalities of central-city living and some elevated holding costs.
