Do you have a question about this home or the local area?
Sometimes you spot a grand-looking, historic building and think the interior could never live up to the impressive facade. That couldn’t be further from the truth for this apartment in Edinburgh’s New Town. The Georgian frontage and original features – think marble fireplaces, high ceilings, and hardwood floors – have been tastefully augmented with rich carpets, and antique and handmade furniture. It’s no wonder this place won a Hilden Style Award. You’ll find modern comforts in the sleek, white kitchen, though the solid wood table and crystal whisky decanter add a bit of old-world charm. This light-flooded city pad is a fantastic base for your Edinburgh stay and if you can peel yourself away from the grand Chesterfield sofas, you’re a ten-minute stroll from George Street, twenty from Edinburgh Castle and just over fifteen from the Royal Mile.

Local guide
About New Town
Edinburgh’s New Town isn’t new at all – it’s a glorious example of 18th-century Georgian town planning and architecture that has rightfully earned its UNESCO World Heritage Status. There’s a lot more than beautiful architecture on offer here though. Located in the centre of the city, it’s a short walk from Waverley Station, and well serviced by public transport. Princes Street, George Street, St Andrew’s Square, and the West End...
