Description

*Closing Date - Wednesday 26th October @ 12Noon*

8 Dublin Street is an attractive and expansive four bedroom home in Edinburgh's vibrant New Town, benefitting from excellent local amenities and transport links and boasting breath-taking views. This impressive and original double upper apartment is well orientated with both east and west facing aspects allowing for plenty of light throughout the day, enhanced by the large skylight over the original stone stair. The property offers spacious proportions with elegant reception rooms and comfortable and flexible family living space on its lower floor, complemented by generous bedrooms on the upper level.

Access is gained at street level into a welcoming vestibule from which the very private stair ascends to the 2nd floor where a door enters into the grand entrance hall. The main accommodation flows well from this central space with the majestic dining room complete with ornate cornicing, dado panelling and an original carved mantel located to the front of the property. To the rear, also located off the entrance hall is an attractive drawing room, again boasting ornate period details and a feature fireplace as well as a well-appointed kitchen breakfast room. From their original sash windows both of these rooms enjoy wonderful westerly views over the immense Queen Street Gardens, stretching across the New Town to the Firth of Forth in the distance. Also on this floor is a study (which would also serve well as a bedroom) and a useful W.C

The striking staircase leads to a landing from which the large principal bedroom is accessed. The views here are even more extensive and offer a wonderful spot to witness the sun set over the city. This room benefits from an en-suite shower room. Also on this floor are two further double bedrooms and a well-proportioned family bathroom.

A stair cleverly hidden behind a door leads to a generous attic, providing a flexible space with more than ample storage.

Location

Dublin Street runs between Queen Street and Drummond Place with this property situated on the upper section, blocked off at Queen Street to minimise traffic.

A wide variety of local specialist shops and restaurants are just one street away on Broughton Street, with George Street and Princes Street located within a five-minute walk.

There is an excellent choice of cultural activities in the vicinity including theatres, cinemas and museums.

The tram terminus, Waverley train station and bus links to Edinburgh airport are close by while the delightful open spaces of Inverleith Park, the Royal Botanic Garden and Holyrood Park are also within easy reach.

A key can be obtained for the beautiful private gardens at Queen Street Gardens East on application.

The area is convenient for a variety of private and local schools, including Edinburgh Academy, Fettes College, George Heriot's and Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools.
