Property Description
Ramsay Garden offers the exceptional opportunity to acquire a three-bedroom, A-listed home, occupying the ground, garden and lower ground levels of an original Georgian six storey property on a picture-perfect cobbled street, situated in the heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town, globally recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just a stone’s throw away from the Esplanade, Ramsay Garden is nestled below Edinburgh Castle at the top of the Royal Mile and was originally constructed by Sir Patrick Geddes, surrounding the houses of Allan Ramsay the Poet and his son. The integrity of Ramsay’s façade has survived remarkably intact, and this building has now been divided into two residential properties.
Arranged over three levels, the property is replete with period features and benefits from three good sized double bedrooms and a magnificent dining kitchen with French doors that open onto the private residents’ secluded lawn and gardens, offering panoramic views over Edinburgh’s skyline to the North and the Firth of Forth. Additionally, the current owners have converted the original cellars in the lower ground level into three flexible multi-purpose rooms, offering the ideal home office/gym/snug.
The Old Town is renowned for is excellent amenities, benefitting from an array of independent shops, cafes, bars and restaurants. With an elevated position over Princes Street Gardens, the property is also within easy walking distance of the main shopping district of Princes Street and George Street, as well as the recently opened St James Quarter.
