Savills, who have advertised the property on RightMove described the property as a: "unique opportunity to acquire a double fronted main door flat, designed by William Playfair.

“Occupying the ground and lower ground floor of a Grade A-Listed townhouse built in 1827, the property has spacious and flexible accommodation spanning over 2,400 square feet.

“Approached by two cast iron gates and set back from the street, the front door opens onto a welcoming vestibule with original decorated engraved glass and Georgian floor tiles.

“This leads to the spacious hallway, in which the wooden floor is of particular note, as it was once part of the stage at the Edinburgh Playhouse; a rare opportunity to walk the boards of the second largest theatre in the United Kingdom.

The flat has a massive library room. (Savills.)

“The bow-ended sitting room is located at the front of the property and retains many fine period details, including intricate cornicing, two large sash and case windows with working shutters, and an original fireplace with log burning stove.

“Across the hallway is the impressive library which boasts breath-taking cornicing and rare ceiling plasterwork in impeccable condition.

“The kitchen dining room is generous in size, and is well equipped with a variety of floor and wall mounted units.

“There are three double bedrooms in the property, as well as two shower rooms and two separate WCs.

“The principal bedroom benefits from built-in wardrobes, and all bedrooms enjoy a quiet position at the rear of the property.

“Residents permit parking is available upon application, and the new tram terminus at Picardy Place is situated close by linking numerous parts of the city within minutes.”
