Property Description
Set within the prestigious and highly sought-after Royal Crescent in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town, Flat 3, 1 Royal Crescent is an exceptional raised ground floor apartment presented in immaculate condition throughout. Combining elegant period proportions with beautifully executed contemporary upgrades, this stylish one-bedroom home offers luxurious accommodation in one of the city’s most desirable residential locations.
The property is entered via a welcoming hallway which leads into an impressive open plan lounge, dining and kitchen space measuring over 20 feet in length. This superb living area is flooded with natural light and has been finished to an exacting standard, featuring stunning Atkinson & Kirby Savoy Oak Chevron flooring and a bespoke NextGen 125 German kitchen installed by German Kitchen Studio, complete with premium Cosentino Silestone worktops. High quality integrated Siemens appliances include a combi oven/microwave, induction hob, fridge and freezer, complemented by a Hotpoint dishwasher and a Blanco sink and tap. The room provides a sleek, contemporary space ideal for both everyday living and entertaining.
A valuable and practical addition to the apartment is the separate utility room, providing excellent ancillary space away from the main living area. Thoughtfully designed to maximise functionality, it houses the LG washing machine and drier while also offering further storage and workspace, helping to keep the principal living areas streamlined and uncluttered. This highly useful room is rarely found in comparable city apartments and adds significantly to the overall practicality of the property.
The generous double bedroom enjoys a peaceful rear aspect and benefits from impressive high ceilings and elegant original features, enhancing its sense of space and character. Well proportioned and naturally tranquil, it offers a refined and comfortable retreat within the home.
The family shower room has been thoughtfully designed with Warm-up underfloor heating, elegant Porcelanosa tiling, a Lusso Stone vanity unit, Keuco mirrored cabinet, wall hung Geberit WC, Rak Ceramics shower tray and premium Axor fittings throughout, creating a refined hotel-style feel.
Further benefits include slimline sash and case double glazed windows, a Nest central heating control system, and a Vaillant combi boiler discreetly positioned within the loft space.
A standout feature of the property is the substantial floored loft extending across much of the apartment. Accessed via a Fakro staired loft hatch, this remarkable space offers exceptional storage capacity and a level of practicality rarely found in similar New Town properties.
Situated on a picturesque crescent in Edinburgh’s historic New Town, the apartment enjoys immediate access to an outstanding range of cafés, restaurants, boutique shops and green spaces, while excellent transport links and the city centre are all within easy reach. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a truly turnkey home in a prime central location.

Location
Edinburgh’s New Town is one of the city’s most desirable and prestigious neighbourhoods, celebrated for its elegant architecture, leafy streets and exceptional central convenience. The area is characterised by handsome Victorian and Georgian terraces, tranquil mews lanes and a refined residential atmosphere, all just moments from the heart of the capital.
The New Town offers an outstanding lifestyle, with a wide selection of independent cafés, acclaimed restaurants, stylish bars and cultural venues close at hand. Princes Street, George Street and the financial district are within easy walking distance, while nearby green spaces such as Princes Street Gardens and the Water of Leith Walkway provide welcome outdoor escapes.
Positioned just off Broughton Street and Leith Walk, the property is within a 5 minute walk to the St James Quarter and the Omni cinema complex. While the property itself is on a quiet street, it is so close to an abundance of first-rate bars and restaurants on its doorstep. Waverley Train Station is a 10 minute walk away and there is convenient road access to the City bypass, Edinburgh international Airport and the motorway network, plus is also on the right side of town for easy access to the A1, whilst the tram terminus at the end of York Place is just a short walk as well.
Despite its central position, the New Town is prized for its peaceful feel, with many quiet streets and secluded pockets that offer privacy rarely found in city-centre living. Combining elegance, convenience and tranquillity, Edinburgh’s New Town remains a consistently sought-after location for professionals, downsizers and families alike.
