6 bedroom townhouse

14 Northumberland Street is a beautifully presented six bedroom Georgian Townhouse in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, with a south-facing rear garden and garage.

You enter into a vestibule with original Georgian flagstones, which leads into a hallway with the original staircase rising to the second floor, topped with a cupola that allows natural light to flow through the home.

The bespoke dining kitchen, at the rear of the lower ground level, has been fitted to a high standard with dark granite worktop over walnut wood cabinets on the surrounding units and kitchen island.

Integrated appliances are of the highest specification and include two Miele combi ovens, a Miele steam oven, a Miele microwave, two Miele dishwashers, a Miele four-ring induction hob, a Sub-Zero fridge, two Sub Zero fridge drawers, a Sub-Zero freezer, and a Sub-Zero wine fridge.

The kitchen has been extended to create a dining space, which opens directly into the south facing garden.

The formal dining room is at the front of the ground floor, with beautiful Georgian period features including ornate cornicing, a marble fireplace, a solid wood floor, and astragal windows with working shutters.

A cosy snug is to the rear of the ground floor, with a sisal carpet, a marble fireplace, and a wood burner.

A cloakroom/ WC is located to the rear of the ground floor.

The first floor is accessed via the stunning original stone staircase, with a carpet runner, mahogany balustrade, and cast-iron railings.

A magnificent drawing room spans the entire width of the first floor, featuring three floor-to-ceiling astragal windows with working shutters and an ornamental balcony. Solid wood floors run throughout, complemented by a marble fireplace with a working open fire, and half-height wood panelling around the room. The walls are adorned with bespoke handprinted wallpaper.

The principal bedroom is to the rear of the first floor, enjoying the same grand proportions as the drawing room. It benefits from an en suite bathroom with a shower over the bath and a walk-in wardrobe.

The second floor comprises four further bedrooms and a family bathroom. Double bedroom three is at the front with generous proportions, while double bedroom four is to the rear, also offering ample space. Double bedroom five is centrally positioned with a view of the side lane, and bedroom six is a single room, ideal as a home office. The family bathroom, located to the rear, features a shower over the bath.

On the lower ground floor, double bedroom two is located at the rear and benefits from an en suite Jack-and-Jill shower room.

A useful utility/laundry room is situated at the front of the basement level, equipped with a Bosch washing machine and a separate Bosch tumble dryer.

There is excellent storage on the basement level, including a wine cellar with original stone storage in place, as well as an additional storage cupboard.

The south-facing rear garden is accessed directly from the kitchen. It has been laid with stone paving to create a low-maintenance space, with mature shrubs bordering the area.

A single garage is located adjacent to the garden at the rear of the home. It features an electric garage door and lighting and can also be accessed from Northumberland Street SE Lane.

In 2021, the property underwent significant external maintenance, including a new roof, refurbished chimney stacks, renewed guttering, and repointed gable end. A new boiler was also installed in 2023.
