Edinburgh, central with stunning views of Edinburgh Castle

City

Nearest gay scene is 10 mins walk

central edinburgh, Edinburgh, Scotland, United Kingdom

Apartment sleeps 4, 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom


This 5 star, accredited by Visit Scotland, apartment has stunning, unprecedented views of Edinburgh castle and is available periodically throughout the year. It commands an extremely central location on the corner of fashionable George St. and North Castle St., and is surrounded by leading stores such as Harvey Nichol's and great restaurants and bars. It is decorated and furnished to the highest standard

One of the first flats to be built in the New Town by James Craig in 1790 and directly adjacent to the Edinburgh town house of Sir Walter Scott! Two bedrooms - one master, (with super king-size divan) and stunning castle views. One single (but just large enough for two with a single bed that pulls out to a three quarters size bed). large elegant lounge with two large windows, contemporary furnishings and decor with two comfortable sofas and a marble dining table and chairs for six. There is a large Sony flat screen TV.

Fully fitted contemporary, luxury kitchen with everything you would expect of a 5 star property and bathroom (both with lime stone throughout) steam shower, under-floor heating and limestone wet-room. The property comes with access to the private gardens on Queens Street, just two minutes from the front door.

The apartment is situated within easy walking distance of all major attractions; museums and galleries, shops and restaurants and is a five minute walk from a nearby private gym and pool.

Surrounded by great shopping ( Harvey Nicks etc only 5 mins walk) and excellent restaurants ( award winning Oloroso just across the road). Also located virtually next door to the award winning Tiger Lilly Hotel with cool decor and a nice vibe.10 mins walk to the gay scene and bars/clubs etc.

It's also a 10 minute walk to the nearest Virgin Active Gym with great pool and is just a stones throw away from the private, secluded and mature, Queens Street Gardens for which I have a key! In short great central location for all key attractions....

Have recently just installed new secondary glazing on all the bedroom windows to reduce street noise inspired by the long and protracted installation of our new tram system. the work scheduled in my neighborhood has now been completed, I hasten to add.

I am a self employed, professional man aged 44 who has spent the last ten years working quite intensely. I'm now ready to spread my wings and explore other regions of the world, possibly with the view to setting up a second home somewhere. I now spend most of my time in Paris and also let the apartment out on a commercial basis. As the apartment really is of a five star nature in a highly sought after location etc, I would be interested in receiving enquiries to a reciprocal standard. I'm open to offers from throughout the world and travel a lot - so don't hold back! But could always do with a holiday near the beach! The apartment is vacant periodically throughout the year - just drop me a line to check.
