Property Description
Forth Street is a unique B listed Georgian
4-bedroom upper townhouse entered via its own front door. The property was built in 1800 by Robert Burn, one of the early architects of the New Town whose ultimate achievement was to be the Nelson Monument on Calton Hill. The townhouse has been carefully restored and retains all its period features such as ornate cornices, working shutters, grand fireplaces, cast iron planter and cupola.
Its pilastered front door opens to a spacious vestibule on the ground floor with a spectacular
half-moon shaped staircase leading to the first
floor.
On the first floor the accommodation comprises a drawing room and a sitting room/TV room to the front with the large kitchen/dining room and study/bedroom 3 at the back. There is also a WC and a storage cupboard on the hallway landing.
The stairs to the second floor are flooded with natural light from the beautiful cupola above. On the second floor the accommodation comprises a large master bedroom with a walk-in wardrobe, two further double bedrooms, a shower room, a family bathroom and a storage cupboard on the landing. There are panoramic views to the rear over the Firth of Forth to the hills of Fife.
Forth Street enjoys an enviable and quiet location in the New Town, one of Edinburgh’s most desirable residential areas. It offers all the advantages of central living with George Street, St. Andrew Square and Princes Street providing excellent shopping facilities and specialist shops available in Broughton Street, Dundas Street and Stockbridge. The Scottish Portrait Gallery and the National Gallery are a short walk away while pleasant walks can also be taken along the nearby Water of Leith, Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic Gardens. The property is conveniently located for public transport. Waverley railway station is within walking distance as is the tram at York Place with direct access to the airport.
