Located in the heart of Edinburgh’s Georgian district and spanning two floors of a double-fronted Georgian townhouse is a five-bedroom apartment which combines both traditional architecture with contemporary finishes to create an idyllic residence in the Scottish capital.
This property is on sale for £1,195,000 and is marketed by Knight Frank, Edinburgh, via OnTheMarket.
Whilst being just a short walk away from the bustling Princes Street, George Street, and St Andrew Square which offer recreational opportunities in abundance from art galleries to shops and restaurants, the interior of the apartment itself is just as impressive as its charming surroundings.
Detailed cornices and period fireplaces accent the double reception room on the first floor, while the large kitchen/breakfast room benefits from high ceilings adding to the grandeur of the space. A bathroom and double bedroom complete the offerings of the first floor, and the second floor boasts its own ‘wow’ factor as the rooms are centred around a circular opening which allows natural light galore to beam into the home through the cupola onto the grand staircase.
The ornate frieze which surrounds the cupola is an example of domestic work by Scottish sculptor, John Henning, whose famous friezes can be found in the likes of buildings such as The Athenaeum in Pall Mall, London. Completing the accommodation on the second floor are a family bathroom and four further bedrooms, one of which houses its own ensuite and leads to a flat section of the roof which overlooks views of Arthur’s Seat and Holyrood Palace.
