The property

We are delighted to present to the market Mingalar Guest House, which until recently was being operated as a fully managed guest house and has traded successfully for many years. Originally built in the 19th century, Mingalar Guest House is a late Georgian Townhouse located in the far corner of the famous New Town in Edinburgh city centre. It offers free Wi-Fi access and free parking on-site and the property is suitable for potential redevelopment into residential accommodation. Externally the front of the property sits straight to the street, to the rear, you will find a garden area, which is laid to hard standing and mature borders. To the rear of the gardens, there is off-street parking for two cars with access from a private lane. Internally, the property is a traditionally built Georgian Terraced townhouse set over three levels. The building itself has been well maintained by the current owners, with the main entrance from the front that leads into the spacious reception hallway, which in turn gives access to all accommodation. On entering from the front, you are immediately welcomed into a traditional reception hallway with a stairway leading to all areas private and public. On the ground floor of the property, you will find letting rooms 5, 6 and 7 along with a WC. Room 8 could be used for staff or as a small sitting room. As a residential house, Room 6 with its ornate ceiling and cornice would make a beautiful sitting or dining room
