This fully renovated two-bedroom garden flat combines period charm, contemporary design and exceptional outdoor space. With private main door access, a south-facing garden and front courtyard, it offers luxurious turnkey living in the heart of Edinburgh’s prestigious New Town.
5A Albany Street is a truly unique and immaculately presented garden-level apartment forming part of a handsome Georgian terrace in the heart of the New Town, just a short stroll from St Andrew Square. With its own private main door entrance, generous south-facing garden, and front courtyard, the property combines the feel of a house with the convenience of central city living.
Fully renovated in 2021 to an exceptional standard, the flat now offers elegant, design-led interiors with a contemporary luxury feel throughout. Engineered oak herringbone flooring flows through the living spaces, paired with cast iron radiators and soft, modern décor. The reconfigured kitchen has been carefully designed for both beauty and function, featuring bespoke-standard cabinetry with solid wood doors, quartz worktops, generous storage, Siemens appliances, a Fisher & Paykel dishwasher drawer, and double undercounter fridge units.
The bright, south-facing sitting room includes a contemporary log burner and opens directly onto a beautifully landscaped, tiered garden — a tranquil, private haven in the heart of the city. An elevated terrace provides the perfect space for al fresco dining or morning coffee, while mature planting creates a sense of calm and seclusion. The rear boundary subtly follows the central line of the hedge, maintaining a natural and verdant outlook. The front courtyard is equally generous, offering a private, west-facing sanctuary that catches the evening sun — a perfect spot to unwind, quietly enclosed from the street.
Both bedrooms retain their original working shutters, with the principal bedroom benefiting from a stylish en suite bathroom complete with panelled walls, a freestanding bath, and high-quality Burlington fittings. A separate shower room features contemporary designer fixtures and a luxurious finish.
The property also enjoys rare, key-access to the private Queen Street Gardens — an expansive, beautifully maintained green space just moments from the front door. This historic residents' garden offers a peaceful escape from urban life, ideal for walking, picnicking, or simply enjoying the changing seasons in a serene setting.
With Hive-controlled gas central heating and every detail thoughtfully upgraded, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly turnkey property offering a harmonious blend of elegance, character, and contemporary comfort — all within one of Edinburgh’s most prestigious neighbourhoods.
Cellars
The property benefits from three dry-lined cellar rooms, offering excellent additional storage. One has been fitted out as a utility space with a washing machine and tumble dryer. While no formal Title exists for the cellars within the building, the current and previous owner have enjoyed exclusive, uninterrupted use of all three for over eighteen years without challenge.

Despite its proximity to St Andrew Square, George Street, and the bustling retail and dining districts, the property offers a peaceful and refined living environment — a true haven in the city.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site is celebrated for its sweeping Georgian architecture, broad streets, and private garden squares. The immediate area is home to an array of independent boutiques, art galleries, and stylish cafés, while world-class restaurants — including several Michelin-starred and critically acclaimed establishments — are within easy reach.
High-end shopping is also close at hand, with Harvey Nichols, Multrees Walk and the newly developed St James Quarter offering a wide selection of designer brands and fine dining options just minutes away.
Transport connections are excellent, with Waverley Station and the St Andrew Square Tram Stop both within a short walk, providing swift access to the airport and beyond. Residents of Albany Street also benefit from optional key access to the private and beautifully maintained Queen Street Gardens — a rare privilege that enhances the sense of exclusivity and serenity in this most distinguished of Edinburgh neighbourhoods.
