Time capsule Edinburgh city centre flat on sale with interior from another age

A three bed flat situated in the heart of Edinburgh has been advertised for sale by property firm Rettie & Co for £875,000.

The home is located on Scotland Street which is ideally situated between the bustling city centre and warm and cosy Stockbridge.

Located within a beautiful Georgian block, the flat sits on the ground floor and offers a generous living space with ample storage.

But if you are a bit of a hoarder then you have the option to acquire outdoor storage in the form of a garage that costs an eye watering £70,000.

Much of the flat's decor continues the Georgian theme.

As you enter the home, which is almost two centuries old, you are greeted not by a hallway but instead by a vestibule.

The vestibule then leads into the hall which acts as a connecting space to the remaining rooms within the household.

The previous owners have clad the walls in a mixture of subtle green and yellow and rather bold red.

The dining room/third bedroom is beautiful while the master bedroom is much the same and is very spacious with plenty of room for activities.

Rettie described the flat on their website by saying: “Packed with period character and decorated in a rich colour palette, this substantial three-bedroom property forms part of an elegant Georgian terrace. Situated on a quiet, cobbled residential street on the eastern fringes of the historic New Town, the rarely available ground floor property offers well-proportioned accommodation with flexible living spaces, plenty of storage and a garage (available separately).

“The handsome sandstone property benefits from a wealth of charming period features including sash and case windows with working shutters, high ceilings, decorative cornicing and original fireplaces. With two modern bathrooms, the property features a design-led kitchen and utility room featuring high-specification brand name appliances. Conveniently positioned just a short walk from all the cosmopolitan delights of the city centre, the excellent local amenities along vibrant Broughton Street and leafy King George V Park. Furthermore, Waverley Station and the regular tram and bus services to Edinburgh International Airport are all within easy reach.”

The ground floor contains an: entrance vestibule, entrance hall, sitting room, dining room/bedroom three, kitchen-breakfast room, utility room, principal bedroom, bedroom two & en-suite shower room, family bathroom, hall storage cupboard and gas central heating.

Outdoor Space is also available with one secure under-pavement cellar and a single garage on Scotland Street Lane West with shelved storage - however a separate offer of £70,000+ is required to secure this.

Both residents’ and metered parking are available on Scotland Street.

If you would like to view the property then please contact Rettie & Co through their website here.
