Located within a handsome Georgian building built around 1806, this uniquely spacious, first floor flat offers fabulous entertaining space, flexible accommodation and is bursting with incredible original features. Ornate plasterwork, fireplaces, and exposed floor boards (recently refurbished) can be found throughout, radiating character and offering a fantastic example of Georgian splendour in Edinburgh's New Town.

The most striking feature of the listed property is the double reception room that runs the full depth of the building, combining two large drawing rooms into one exceptional entertaining and living space. Both sides of the room have impressive fireplaces, wooden floors and detailed cornicing. The space is flooded with natural light from six traditional sash and case windows on three sides. Separate to this living space, an exposed stone wall, original cast iron stove and flagstones combine with modern units and appliances to present a wonderfully characterful kitchen/dining space.

The principal bedroom with en-suite is also awash with period features including further ornate cornicing, panelling and large, south facing windows, flooding the room with light. A well-designed dressing room offers generous storage as well as a mezzanine bed suitable for children, this room could also be adapted to be used as a study. A further substantial bedroom with en-suite shower room creates a large amount of flexible accommodation. In addition a family bathroom can be found off the hallway.

Unique living space, incredible original period features and large Georgian proportions make this a rare opportunity to acquire such a fantastic example of a property within Edinburgh's New Town, a UNESCO world heritage site.

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
