Property Description

9 Hill Street offers the rare opportunity to acquire a meticulously presented, fully restored and refurbished, four-storey townhouse, peacefully nestled between Queen Street and George Street in the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage-designated New Town, one of Edinburgh’s most coveted areas.

Originally built as a house in 1794, the property was then used as lawyers’ offices for over a century, before it was converted back to residential use by the current owners. This impeccable family home is second to none, decorated to a high standard, offering the epitome of modern Edinburgh living. It affords the best of both worlds, offering all modern luxuries, while boasting an abundance of original period features with its spectacular high ceilings, 18th century plaster and timber dado panelling, sash and case astragal windows, intricate cornicework, timber doors, working open fireplaces in all principal rooms, and 19th century cast iron grates.

Arranged over four levels (with no basement), the property offers spacious family accommodation with six bedrooms, three bathrooms and three receptions. Of particular mention, is the property’s exceptional south- facing kitchen/living room with hand painted Newcastle Kitchen Company shaker-style bespoke cabinetry, Bianca Eclipsa granite worktops and high specification integrated appliances, including a pewter-enamelled four door gas AGA.

Externally, the property benefits from a rear door to Hill Street North Lane where there is a private patio garden, as well as access to the private green open space of Queen Street Gardens West where residents can apply for a key subject to a modest annual fee.

Of Particular Mention

• High pressure domestic sprinkler system fitted throughout, serviced annually.
• Fully rewired, replumbed and re-roofed in 2012
