Set in one of the most coveted positions within Edinburgh’s historic New Town, 1 Gloucester Place is a distinguished main-door, ground-floor apartment extending to over 2,000 sq ft and enriched with fine period detail.
A rare opportunity to acquire a main-door New Town apartment of remarkable proportions and elegance, with the added flexibility to adapt its interiors for contemporary living. As the property requires separation from the original ground and lower-ground single dwelling, it presents a unique chance for buyers to design and personalise the space to their own style- an increasingly rare prospect in Edinburgh’s market. Its grand proportions, period charm, and prestigious location combine to make it one of the city’s most desirable addresses.
Adding further appeal, the property comes with approved plans and full works for subdivision- fully funded by the seller. In addition, it has already benefited from extensive renovations in recent years, including a complete rewire, a new heating system, and the installation of a remote wireless alarm.
Part of an impressive corner pavilion with striking architectural presence, the property lies just a short walk from Stockbridge and within easy reach of the city’s premier shops, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. This elegant home offers an exceptional canvas for creating a substantial three- or four-bedroom residence of scale, character, and refinement.
*Please note that the plans below are the proposed plans, as submitted and approved by The City of Edinburgh Council - 16/04541/FUL.
