Occupying an exceptional position directly beside Edinburgh Castle, this stunning fourth-floor two-bedroom apartment offers a rare opportunity to acquire a home with truly unrestricted panoramic views across the capital’s iconic skyline, stretching from the historic Old Town through to Arthur’s Seat. Set within a traditional tenement building, the property combines period elegance with one of the most dramatic outlooks available in the city, creating a home of genuine distinction in an internationally renowned location.
The accommodation extends to approximately 702 square feet and is well balanced and thoughtfully arranged, with all rooms accessed from a welcoming central hall. The generous living room is the heart of the home, enjoying outstanding open views and enhanced by fine period detailing including ornate cornicing and an attractive fireplace, providing a charming focal point and a wonderful sense of character. The kitchen is well positioned and offers ample space for appliances and storage, while both double bedrooms are comfortable in size and quietly situated, making them ideal for restful living or flexible use. A well-appointed shower room is complemented by useful storage and utility space, completing the accommodation.
The property’s elevated fourth-floor position allows excellent natural light throughout while maximising the spectacular outlook, and the combination of period features, generous proportions and unparalleled views makes this a highly desirable city-centre home, equally suited to owner-occupation, a pied-à-terre or investment use.
