A stunning duplex apartment in the New Town
Excellently positioned close to the amenities of Princes Street and George Street on one side, and that of the highly desirable Stockbridge area on the other, this two bedroom garden and ground floor flat in the New Town is a must-view property. Renovated to the highest standard, 1 India Street would make a lovely period home in one of the capital’s most sought-after locations.
Forming part of an A-listed Victorian building and featuring bright, airy rooms, the flat meets all the requirements of modern living while retaining several traditional features.
Interior
Upper level
Benefiting from main door entry, the outer twin doors open into a beautifully tiled vestibule. A glazed inner door leads to the sitting room. Large twin windows overlooking the street flood this room with natural light, while neutral walls paired with warm wood floors ensure it appears exceptionally spacious. This simple but stylish décor echoes throughout the property.
Lower level
An elegant staircase enhanced by back lighting leads downstairs to the lower ground floor. The immaculate dining kitchen is located on this level, boasting sleek high gloss grey cabinets, acrylic solid work surfaces, feature lighting and a range of integrated appliances. A convivial peninsular unit offers an excellent food preparation and casual dining space.
Two well-proportioned double bedrooms are located on this level, both complete with generous built-in wardrobes and plush grey carpets. There is also a luxurious bathroom featuring warm limestone tiling, a spacious walk-in shower, a vanity basin unit, a stunning bath and beautifully-patterned, heated floors.
Courtyard terrace and cellars
As well as stylish and spacious interiors, this property benefits from a large walled courtyard terrace with original stone slabs, offering an excellent place to sit outside on sunny days. The courtyard offers access to three generous vaulted cellars, which have been transformed into a gin bar, a home office and utility room. The gin bar would be particularly useful for entertaining guests. A fourth smaller cellar has been converted into a WC.
About the area
The apartment occupies a prime corner position adjacent to Queen Street Gardens – India street runs from Heriot Row down towards the lovely Stockbridge area. Boasting stunning Georgian architecture, the street is within easy walking distance of the amenities of Princes Street and Stockbridge, which hosts a bustling market every Sunday.
