Roomy Edinburgh flat available with unrivalled views of castle and Pentland Hills

A four-bedroom Edinburgh flat is currently available on the market, complete with one of the most stunning views the capital has to offer.

The flat sits right above Edinburgh Castle, with the famous castle entrance and Pentland Hills on its doorstep 24/7.

As well as the exceptional views, the location of the flat within a quiet and bespoke area of the city's Old Town complete with Georgian street lamps and high-rise tenement buildings.

The retro theme continues into the property with classic interior.

Accommodating the views is a semi-circle cushioned Pugh that acts as a constant viewing platform out of the sitting room window.

The flat also contains four double-bedrooms, two bathrooms, a shower room and a lounge.

Zoopla refer to the flat as a "Stunning and spacious top floor, four bedroom property located at the top of the Royal Mile at the foot of Edinburgh Castle esplanade offering spectacular views over the city below."

As the pictures suggest, this property does not come cheap. Offers over £1,125,000 are currently being considered for this top floor beauty.

For those who are fans of the city's rich culture, this flat is a stone-throw away from some of Edinburgh's finest galleries, museums and theatres.

Even though the property is incredibly spacious, it all fits across a single top floor.

The lounge, dining room, kitchen and two bedrooms all contain viewing opportunities, with only the remaining two bedrooms and a bathroom located towards the rear of the property.

Upon entrance, bathrooms are located to both the right and left. The more spacious bathroom to the right of the property includes both a bath tub and a shower cubicle.

A second corner-bath tub is also available in the smaller bathroom upon entering the property, a feature that you don't see often these days.

The view to the rear of the property showcases Holyrood and Arthur's Seat. (Zoopla)

The kitchen contains ample storage and unit space and also includes a breakfast bar that showcase just one of the many views from the top floor. It also, rather surprisingly, features an incredibly modern and large gas cooker and AGA.

Next door, the spacious dining room contains a large wooden dining table that seats at least six guests. The room also has a feature similar to the lounge, a long cushioned Pugh to take advantage of the incredible views from the property. There is also several Victorian storage cabinets and a chandelier to top it off.

The two largest bedrooms are located next to each other, both with views stretching out beyond the castle and the rest of the city.

There is enough room for a double bed in both, as well as wardrobe's and a desk with storage drawers. The double windows also allow for plenty of natural light to grace the front of the property throughout the day.

One of the bedrooms offers four large double-glazed windows to view the city from. (Zoopla)

The second bedroom actually takes a more modern approach, with a wall-length integrated wardrobe and storage recess in the middle. It also has perhaps the best viewing platform of the entire property with four double-glazed windows that can be opened fully.

As mentioned, as well as containing a large semi-circle viewing ledge, the lounge also is spacious enough for a four-piece suite and a fireplace.

The whole family can enjoy one of the best views in the city whilst also watching TV. Adding to the ambience is another chandelier graciously hanging from the ceiling in the lounge.

The remaining, and smallest, bedroom can also be used as a box room for storage or a study. It is big enough for a single bed and storage unit.

From outside the property, the entrance consists of a huge wooden door that looks like it belongs in a castle, with stairs ascending up the lighthouse-looking tower to the top floor.
