Occupying a prime position within Edinburgh’s prestigious New Town, this exceptional top floor corner flat forms part of an elegant Category A Listed Georgian building and enjoys outstanding views over the beautiful Drummond Place Gardens.

Accessed via a secure door entry system and an impressive communal stair with sweeping staircase, the property offers a wonderfully flexible layout extending to approximately 1,658 sq. ft. The welcoming reception hall benefits from excellent natural light and useful storage. The magnificent living room enjoys uninterrupted views across the gardens and is centred around a grand fireplace, creating a superb formal entertaining space. The adjoining dining room also benefits from the leafy outlook and offers excellent versatility, with potential to be used as a study or home office if desired.

A well-appointed bathroom completes the accommodation and comprises a white three-piece suite with shower over the bath. Further benefits include gas central heating, permit and metered parking nearby, and the rare advantage of ownership rights to the beautifully maintained private gardens of Drummond Place, located directly opposite the property.
