As elegant as it is comfortable, this stunning apartment in Edinburgh’s New Town has a definite touch of ballroom beauty to it. With its tall corniced ceilings, large sash windows and cobalt blue walls, you’ll instantly feel the home’s Georgian past with stylish modern furnishings giving it a good dose of modern flair. You’ll love kicking back on the sofa with a glass of wine while taking in your pad’s original features and sitting down to breakfasts at the sunny window-side table. The bedroom, meanwhile, is just as sophisticated with its uncluttered decor allowing its largesse to impress. We love the bay window seats here, perfect for catching up on some morning reading, and the bright desk area that will make working from home a treat. When you’re not relaxing in your chic apartment, go out and explore your surroundings. Shop along Princes Street (a six-minute walk away), stroll through Queen Street Gardens (two minutes) and visit Edinburgh Castle (twelve minutes). Calton Hill with its unparalleled Edinburgh views is also just a fourteen-minute walk from your door.

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...
