A characterful 2nd floor (top) flat of a striking B-listed corner building, this three-bedroom flat offers classic proportions, period detail and superb natural light in the heart of Haymarket, perfectly placed to enjoy the energy and convenience of city centre living.
One of just three flats in a gated stair, set back from the street behind secure entry, the property enjoys a vibrant city setting with Haymarket Station and a wealth of amenities on the doorstep. At the heart of the flat is a standout bow-ended reception room, triple windowed to the west with far-reaching views and dramatic evening light. Original features include an elegant fireplace, ornate egg and dart cornice, and a shelved press. The separate kitchen/breakfast room offers space for dining and comes with an integrated oven, hob and cooker hood. The generous principal bedroom also faces west and features twin windows, a fireplace, and a shelved press. A second large double to the front includes built-in wardrobes and shelving and a fireplace, while a third single bedroom to the rear, also with a fireplace, offers flexibility as a study or guest room. The bathroom is fitted with a white suite and over-bath shower. A walk-in storage cupboard off the hallway adds excellent utility.
The property forms part of James Haldane’s early 19th-century Morrison Street development, within the Edinburgh New Town A-Group, recognised by Historic Environment Scotland as “a significant surviving part of one of the most important and best preserved examples of urban planning in Britain.” Completed by 1830, this westernmost section includes the building’s prominent bowed bay at the corner of Haymarket, described by Gifford et al. as “a splendid marker of the entry to the town centre.” With Haymarket Station just moments away and a wealth of bars, cafes, and shops on the doorstep, this is a characterful city home in an outstandingly connected location.
Residents are able to obtain a permit to park on neighbouring streets from the City of Edinburgh Council.
