Utterly charming two bedroom apartment excellently located in the historic Old Town of Edinburgh
Set within the historic heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, this elegant third-floor apartment offers a rare blend of period character and contemporary refinement, just moments from the Royal Mile and Holyrood Palace.
The living room is a true highlight—generously proportioned and rich in character, it showcases exceptional traditional features synonymous with Old Town properties. A striking stone accent wall frames the focal fireplace, creating a refined yet inviting space ideal for both entertaining and everyday living. There is ample room for dining and freestanding furniture, all enhanced by a warm and homely atmosphere.
The kitchen is thoughtfully designed and well-appointed, offering efficient storage and workspace while remaining seamlessly connected to the heart of the home. A bespoke wooden worktop continues the theme of considered design, complementing the property’s historic surroundings.
The bathroom has been comprehensively upgraded to a high specification by the current owner, featuring stylish sanitaryware, quality fittings, elegant tiling, and a crisp, contemporary finish.
The principal bedroom is a well-balanced double, filled with natural light and offering ample space for freestanding furniture. It also benefits from built-in storage—an uncommon advantage in traditional properties.
A versatile second bedroom complements the accommodation, currently utilised as a home office but equally suited to a variety of uses for modern city living. Additional storage is conveniently located in the hallway with three separate storage cupboards forming flexible and practical solutions to modern living.
This impressive apartment presents an exceptional opportunity to acquire a characterful city residence in one of Edinburgh’s most historic and atmospheric locations, perfectly positioned for the city centre, cultural attractions, and excellent transport links.
