Located on one of Edinburgh's grand New Town streets, this luminous apartment is the perfect setting-off point to explore the Scottish capital. With the Water of Leith just steps from your front door, and Princes Street's shopping haunts a ten-minute walk away, you couldn't be better placed to experience the best the city has to offer. Elegance and light have swept through this home – we particularly love the floor-to-ceiling sash windows and neutral colour palette, providing a calming respite from the bustling city. The plush Chesterfield sofa and button-back loveseat invite you to sip your coffee (or wine) while looking out over the tree-lined street. The building is neatly tucked away beside a vast private garden – you'll almost forget you're in a UK capital. Out and about, you're ten minutes on foot from Stockbridge Village where a vibrant food market is held every Sunday, and the historic Dean Village with its beautiful gardens is only five minutes away. When you're not sampling Edinburgh's world-class food scene, enjoy a night in over a candlelit dinner in the kitchen-diner. Sleep soundly in the serene double bedrooms and wake up well-rested and ready for another day on the town.

About Dean Village

A beautiful village traditionally home to rural working-class communities, the area has become very popular as a getaway destination from Edinburgh.
