Property Description

18 India Street is an exquisite, meticulously presented, fully restored and refurbished four-storey townhouse with mews double garage. The house is arguably one of its kind, situated on a distinguished wide cobbled street in the heart of the Edinburgh New Town, once famed as the only road in the city where a horse and carriage could make a U-turn. This 6,678 square foot, A-listed Georgian property is second to none offering the epitome of modern Edinburgh living. Having undergone a three year long ‘labour of love’ restoration to preserve and enhance this UNESCO world heritage site property whilst upgrading for convenient modern living, this bespoke family home has been extensively, yet sympathetically, refurbished by the current owners incorporating soundproofing, heritage double-glazed and thermal windows, insulation and energy efficient heating and lighting systems as well as state of the art security and technology schemes, to name a few. The property offers the best of both worlds effortlessly melding a wealth of period features in its spectacular high ceilings, decorative ceiling plasterwork, upgraded cupola, ornate fireplaces, butlers’ trays, and traditional shutters with all modern luxuries.

Arranged over four levels plus loft space, the property offers spacious and versatile family accommodation including seven double bedrooms, three public rooms, five luxurious bathrooms and 744 square foot attic comprising a playroom and a Bedouin-style tent cinema room. On the lower ground floor, the current owners have created a 3-bedroom self-contained, sub divisible apartment, incorporating a sense of continuity with the design of the ‘main house’. The property further benefits from a south-west facing garden bathed in light, three lined under-pavement cellars, and heated double garage with power and water (vehicular access through Gloucester Lane). Further details can be obtained in the property’s summary of accommodation below.

This ‘A’ listed area of the New Town looks very much the same as when it was built, a complete Georgian townscape which is designated a UNESCO world heritage site due to its architectural importance. George Street and Princes Street, along with several historic and cultural attractions of Edinburgh’s city centre are only a few minutes’ walk away, whilst the neighbouring area of Stockbridge is a vibrant hub with excellent amenities such as galleries, bars, restaurants, coffee shops and a street food market. Ample green space surrounds the area with parks, cycle paths and private residents parks.
