Northumberland Street, Edinburgh EH3

50 Northumberland Street is a 4/5 bedroom upper townhouse with south facing private garden and 3 private parking spaces, in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town.

The home has been lived in by the present owners for the past 45 years and is presented with many original Georgian period features intact.

You enter the grand home into an entrance vestibule with original flagstone flooring which continues into the hall. Thereon, the ground floor reception rooms have solid wood flooring.

Integrated appliances include a 5 ring gas hob, 2x Hotpoint ovens and a Bosch dishwasher. A useful utility room with WC is behind the kitchen with an integrated washing machine and combi boiler.

The dining room, at the front of the ground floor facing Northumberland Street, is full of original period features including astragal windows with working shutters, ornate cornicing, a ceiling rose and c.4m high ceilings. The impressive Adam style mantelpiece is considered to be older than the house itself and a very unique feature.

The first floor is accessed by a beautiful period stone staircase with cast iron railings and a mahogany balustrade that winds its way up to the second floor.

At the front of the first floor lies the drawing room with three large astragal windows looking over Northumberland Street and a large walk-in cupboard. Other period features include a marble fireplace, solid wood floors, working shutters and ornate cornicing.

To the rear there is a large study also with a walk-in cupboard. This room could make for a fantastic principal bedroom with large astragal windows looking south over the private garden to the rear.

Double bedrooms 1 and 2 are to the rear of the home overlooking the south-facing garden while bedroom 4 is at the front looking over Northumberland Street.
