Well proportioned Georgian townhouse centrally located at the east end of Edinburgh’s New Town, retaining many distinctive period features including wonderfully ornate cornice work, a large cupola allowing for maximum natural light to flood throughout the entrance hall and original windows throughout, is positioned at the entrance to a fine cobbled street. Distinctive highlights include an impressive rear kitchen extension with a raised ceiling and rooflights and bi-folding doors to the secluded walled garden where there is a spacious two car garage. Adapted in recent years, many of the bedrooms have top of the range en suite facilities, so this fabulous family home also offers scope to the purchaser with a business investment in mind. Situated at the junction of Bellevue and East Claremont Street, this house occupies an enviable position in a sought after location. A five minute stroll up Broughton Street where there are many niche restaurants and wine bars to choose from takes you to the main tram terminus on York Place and on to all the historical and cultural highlights that the city centre has to offer.
