A beautifully presented two-bedroom, two-bathroom garden apartment arranged over two floors, occupying the lower ground and garden levels of an elegant Georgian townhouse in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. The property benefits from its own private front entrance, offering direct access and an enhanced sense of privacy and independence. Thoughtfully laid out across two levels, the apartment combines period character with modern living and enjoys a private south-facing garden with direct access from the rear mews, a rare and highly desirable feature in this sought-after central location. The property has been comprehensively refurbished by the current owners, resulting in a striking home that blends original period features with high-specification contemporary design. Careful reconfiguration has created a superb sense of space, particularly on the lower level, where there is a generous open-plan kitchen and dining area alongside a spacious living room with a log burner, offering an inviting and flexible environment for both everyday living and entertaining. From here, doors open directly onto a landscaped terraced garden, complete with an outdoor dining area and separate studio, seamlessly extending the living space and enhancing the sense of privacy rarely found so close to the city centre. This elegant home is ideally suited to both families and professionals, benefitting from immediate access to the city centre, excellent local amenities, and the wealth of cultural attractions the New Town and wider city have to offer. Additional storage is available throughout the property, with further useful space located within the building’s main stair. A rare opportunity to acquire a truly outstanding property, combining privacy, space, and refined contemporary living within one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after addresses. Summary of Accommodation The accommodation comprises a welcoming entrance hall leading to a spacious double bedroom with ensuite, leading on to a further principal bedroom with two adjoining dressing rooms and en-suite facilities, together with useful utility and store cupboards. Of particular note is the substantial cellar accessed directly from dressing room two. Offering an exceptional amount of additional space, this versatile area could be utilised as highly practical storage, or the potential to be transformed into an impressive wine cellar. On the sub-lower ground floor, there is an impressive open-plan kitchen/dining room measuring over 17 ft in length, providing an excellent space for everyday living and entertaining. The DeVol kitchen is beautifully complemented by a hand-patinated copper island, a matching copper sink, and a bespoke cabinetry larder. These features work brilliantly alongside the exposed stone walls, creating a characterful and highly distinctive space that seamlessly blends period charm with contemporary design. A generous sitting room, complete with a working log burner, enjoys direct access to the private garden, while a separate WC and additional storage complete the accommodation. The property features a thoughtful blend of original flagstone flooring and refinished engineered hardwood floors. This combination enhances the home's character and warmth, with the original flagstones providing a nod to the property's heritage, while the refurbished hardwood flooring offer comfort and practicality for modern living. Externally, the property benefits from a private south-west facing garden, providing an ideal space for relaxing and entertaining while enjoying the afternoon and evening sun. Of particular appeal is the garden room, currently utilised as a home office, offering excellent flexibility for those working from home. The garden also features a dedicated BBQ area, making it perfectly suited to outdoor dining and social gatherings. In addition to the abundant storage found throughout the property, there is further storage available within the building’s main stair, providing a practical and convenient solution for larger or less frequently used items.
