Description
Unique opportunity to purchase a well-proportioned eight-bedroom, three-storey townhouse previously used as a hotel and situated in the desirable Hillside area of Edinburgh. The grand property retains many original and traditional Georgian features throughout including floor tiles, ornate cornicing, ceiling roses, cupola, feature fireplaces and sash and case windows, whilst incorporating a modernised gas central heating system throughout. A beautiful entranceway directs you up a short flight of steps to the front door that opens into a welcoming entrance vestibule that allows you to understand the size of this home. Leading through the entrance vestibule, the inner hallway, with one floor above and one floor below, accessed via a beautiful staircase, is magnificently lit by the property’s very own cupola on the top floor. On the ground floor, the large drawing room with two large windows allow in an abundance of natural light, ornate cornicing, ceiling rose and feature fireplace; dining room situated to the rear of the property; dining kitchen with ample wall and base units, tiled splashback and ample space for a small dining table; and a cloakroom with wash-hand basin and WC. The first-floor landing leads to five double bedrooms, all of which have ensuites. At lower ground floor level, there are three double bedrooms, one of which has an ensuite; bedroom nine/study; utility room; separate shower room and two storage cupboards located off the hallway which complete the accommodation. The property has the benefit of a private courtyard area to the front of the property with three cellars and a private rear garden accessed from a lower ground floor bedroom. On-street permit and pay-and-display parking is available on Windsor Street and surrounding streets under zone N1 (Permits obtained upon application to The City of Edinburgh Council and payment of fees). Hillside is an interesting and attractive area of Edinburgh, situated on the boundary of the New Town. Hillside Street is strategically placed, as it is only a few minutes’ walk from Princes Street and the City Centre. Excellent shopping and a myriad of restaurants, theatres, cinemas, galleries and museums all contribute to the city centre’s sophistication and appeal. The Omni Centre, at the head of Leith Walk boasts a Health and Fitness Club, a multi-screen cinema and a number of restaurants. Edinburgh’s St James Quarter which opened in 2021 offers most fashionable shopping and leisure opportunities. The National Monument, at the summit of Calton Hill, that was erected to commemorate Scottish heroism in the Napoleonic Wars and the Scottish Parliament, with its dramatic and controversial architecture, are both within a short walk, as are Holyrood Palace and the stunning open spaces of the Queen’s Park. Well served by day and night bus services to the city centre and within walking distance of the Picardy Place tram stop and Waverley Station, there is also easy vehicular access to the A1 and the City Bypass. All window furnishings (curtains, curtain poles, blinds etc), fitted floor coverings, light fixtures and appliances (both integrated and free standing) are included in the sale.
