Edinburgh's New Town retains much of its original neo-classical and Georgian period architecture from when most of its housing was built in 1767. This part of the city is known for its graceful sweeping crescents, wide streets and private central gardens. 

If you’re seeking a Georgian property in the Capital, this one on Royal Crescent fits the bill for those who love city living. The second-floor flat – which is situated in an elegant, one-sided sweeping crescent – boasts charming original period features and forms part of a traditional New Town tenement. It is in walking distance of fashionable Broughton Street and the city centre.  

Green spaces

The easy access to outdoor spaces such as the adjacent George V Park and proximity to Inverleith Park, and The Royal Botanic Gardens adds to its appeal, and it will make a wonderful home for a couple, professional, or as an investment.
