Property description

This is an opportunity to acquire a substantial, exceptionally spacious and elegant one-bedroom drawing room apartment with dedicated private parking space. The property, located in Edinburgh's prestigious West End, occupies much of the ground floor of a converted townhouse, designed by the noted architect John Lessels and once the home of the distinguished antiquarian William McDowall. Accessed via a magnificent shared vestibule and entrance hall, the well-presented accommodation consists of an internal hallway, exceptionally spacious drawing room, dining kitchen, double bedroom, and bathroom. The property presents many period and traditional features, including ornate plaster cornicework, an impressive marble fireplace, brass chandeliers, panelled woodwork, dado and picture rails, and bespoke drapes. Other features include wood-framed sash and casement windows, gas central heating, television and telephone points, and excellent cupboard storage space. An important feature of the property is a private, allocated parking space to the rear, which is supplemented by ample on-street permit parking. The property lies in an exclusive location in Edinburgh's Georgian West End, convenient for Princes Street, the city centre, financial district, and many of Edinburgh's main attractions, with a wealth of shops, restaurants and nightlife on hand. The Modern Art Galleries, picturesque Dean Village and The Water of Leith are also close at hand, offering quiet leafy walks away from the bustle of the city centre. Haymarket Station is close by, as is an extensive public transport system, including the new tram line to the airport.
