Property Description
Set in one of the most coveted positions within Edinburgh’s historic New Town, 1 Gloucester Place is a distinguished main-door, ground-floor apartment extending to over 2,000 sq ft and enriched with fine period detail.
A rare opportunity to acquire a main-door New Town apartment of remarkable proportions and elegance, with the added flexibility to adapt its interiors for contemporary living. As the property requires separation from the original ground and lower-ground single dwelling, it presents a unique chance for buyers to design and personalise the space to their own style- an increasingly rare prospect in Edinburgh’s market. Its grand proportions, period charm, and prestigious location combine to make it one of the city’s most desirable addresses.
Part of an impressive corner pavilion with striking architectural presence, the property lies just a short walk from Stockbridge and within easy reach of the city’s premier shops, restaurants, and cultural landmarks. This elegant home offers an exceptional canvas for creating a substantial three- or four-bedroom residence of scale, character, and refinement.

Location
The property is just a short stroll from Stockbridge, a vibrant neighbourhood known for its independent cafés, specialist food shops, Sunday market, and relaxed village atmosphere. To the east, George Street and Princes Street are within easy walking distance, offering designer boutiques, luxury department stores, and an outstanding choice of restaurants, bars, and cultural venues.
For leisure and the outdoors, residents have access (by subscription) to some of Edinburgh’s finest private gardens, offering secluded green space in the heart of the city. In addition, Inverleith Park, the Water of Leith walkway, and the world-renowned Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh are all within easy reach.
Cultural attractions such as the Scottish National Portrait Gallery, the National Galleries of Scotland, the Usher Hall, and the Traverse Theatre are all close by. Transport links are excellent, with Waverley Station around a 15-minute walk, Edinburgh’s tram network and regular bus services connecting throughout the city, and Edinburgh Airport just 25 minutes away by car or tram.
The area is also well served by some of Edinburgh’s most highly regarded schools in both the public and private sectors, including The Edinburgh Academy, Fettes College, Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools, and St George’s School for Girls.
