About the home

Designed by the architect William Playfair in the middle of the 19th century, Carlton Terrace, along with the adjacent Regent and Royal Terraces, forms part of Edinburgh's prestigious New Town district.

This comfortable one bedroom apartment within Carlton House has recently been refurbished and furnished. Situated on Carlton Terrace, one of Edinburgh's most elegant cobbled streets, this second floor apartment is in a prime location for the city centre attractions as well as its famous viewpoints such as Calton Hill & Arthur's Seat. The Royal Mile and Princes Street are both only a 10 minute walk away.

The apartment's position at the rear of the building ensures privacy, tranquillity and a south facing aspect.

Please note, this is a non smoking apartment.

Facilities

Further details indoors:
The apartment has been tastefully furnished in keeping with the period of the property and the rooms enjoy high ceilings, ornate cornices and dado rails. Both the living room and the bedroom have large south-facing astragalled windows with full length curtains and tie-backs. The apartment has gas central heating throughout.

The sitting area has a 3-seater leather sofa which can be converted into a bed if required and the entertainment systems are of the highest quality. The Loewe TV receives Freeview channels, incorporates a hard drive recorder and is attached to the DVD player by HDMI connection. The Bang & Olufsen CD/Radio provides outstanding sound quality and is set up for MP3 player connectivity. There is a selection of books, CDs and DVDs for your enjoyment. The dining table can seat up to 4 people.

The bedroom, with double bed, has a large built-in wardrobe as well as large and small chest of drawer units. There is therefore plenty of space to unpack your suitcases and feel at home away from home. Again there is a flat screen TV for your enjoyment.

The kitchen has been fitted to the highest specification with Siemens appliances including fridge (with freezer compartment), 4 ring electric hob, oven, dishwasher and washer-dryer.

The limestone tiled bathroom is also fitted to the highest standard and consists of bath with electric shower over it, washbasin and WC.

Further details outdoors:
As you walk out of the front door of Carlton House and face London Road Gardens, it is difficult to believe you are only a 5 minute walk from the vibrant restaurant and entertainment district of the East End of Edinburgh.

Street parking is available on Carlton Terrace on a metered basis from 08:30-17:30 Mon-Fri. Outside of these times, parking is free. You are virtually guaranteed to find a place right outside the property at any time.

The Edinburgh / Lothians / Edinburgh/Midlothian region

Edinburgh is steeped in history and as well as providing a city break location, it is also ideally situated for excursions to the beaches and golf courses of East Lothian and Fife.

The city is famous for its Georgian architecture, its open spaces and also its festivals, notably the world's largest arts festival in August and Hogmanay at New Year.

The cosmopolitan feel of the city owes its thanks to its foreign visitors, university students and of course the local residents.

The Edinburgh / Edinburgh New Town area

A walking tour of Edinburgh's architectural highlights starts on your doorstep and should go on to include the Royal Mile and the Scottish Parliament which are both within a very short distance.

The Playhouse Theatre which stages the latest musicals and shows is a 5 min. walk away and Harvey Nichols and John Lewis department stores are also within 5-10 mins. walk. Add another 5 mins. walk and you'll reach the shopping district of Princes Street and George Street.

Calton Hill, situated just behind Carlton Terrace is a must for any visit to Edinburgh as it offers fine views of the city and across to Fife and East Lothian. Holyrood Park with Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags are also within easy walking distance and here it is easy to forget you are in a city at all.

“The most comfortable and enjoyable accomodation” A quality furnished bright airy flat,centrally situated and convenient for many Festival venues.Whilst the two flights of stairs may be a challenge,the quiet aspect of the flat compensates.I would recommend it for two or three adults. Response: Many thanks for taking the time to review my property. I'm so pleased you enjoyed your stay.
