Property Description
Occupying a highly desirable position on East Claremont Street, this beautifully presented main door lower ground floor flat offers a rare combination of generous accommodation, excellent storage and private outdoor space, all within easy reach of Edinburgh’s City Centre. Presented in excellent condition throughout, the property is perfectly suited to professionals, downsizers or those seeking a stylish home in one of the capital’s most sought-after residential locations. The current owners have recently completed a comprehensive refurbishment programme, resulting in a home that is finished to an exceptional standard and ready for immediate occupation.
The property is accessed via its own private main door entrance, a highly coveted feature that provides a wonderful sense of privacy and independence. Internally, the accommodation extends to over 1,000 square feet and retains an appealing sense of space throughout, complemented by attractive hardwood flooring throughout the property. The impressive sitting room is particularly generous in size and is centred around a charming working log burner, creating a warm and inviting focal point for the room. This elegant space is perfectly suited to both relaxing and entertaining, while the separate kitchen is well appointed and thoughtfully arranged. Further enhancing the home's appeal, the windows throughout the property have been sympathetically refurbished and retain working shutters, adding both character and practicality while complementing the property's period charm.
There are two spacious double bedrooms, both offering comfortable accommodation, alongside a versatile study which would be ideal as a home office, occasional guest room or hobby space. A modern bathroom, benefiting from luxurious underfloor heating, and a separate utility room complete the accommodation, ensuring the layout is both practical and adaptable for modern living.
A standout feature of the property is the delightful private patio courtyard, which enjoys a sunny aspect and provides an attractive outdoor retreat for relaxing, dining and entertaining during the warmer months. Further enhancing the appeal are two substantial under-street cellars, offering exceptional storage and versatile additional space, with one cellar benefiting from both electricity and water supplies, making it particularly useful for a variety of purposes. These rarely available features are seldom found in comparable city-centre properties and significantly add to the property's appeal.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a beautifully maintained main door home offering generous accommodation, private sunny outdoor space and exceptional cellar storage in one of Edinburgh’s most desirable central locations.

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.
