SITUATION:

George IV Bridge is an elevated street in Edinburgh, home to a number of the city’s important public buildings, connecting to the Royal Mile. The immediate area is known as the Old Town, being the original part of the city, renowned for its historical importance and which comes alive every year due to the Edinburgh International Festival and Fringe where the surrounding streets are filled with performers, venues and audience members alike for the entire month of August when tourism in the city is at a peak and tourism in the area remains constant throughout the year.

With a coveted position, the property is within close proximity to the open green space of the Meadows offering leafy walks and running routes. The property is also just a short walk from the bustling Grassmarket offering an array of pubs, bars and restaurants. In addition, the property is a brief distance from Edinburgh University, ideal for student living. As well as the many splendid buildings nearby, an easy walk will take you to Edinburgh Castle to the west and Holyrood Palace and the Park to the east. A gentle stroll down the Mound northwards takes you past Princes Street Gardens and the National Art Gallery, to the central shopping streets of Princes Street and George Street and all other cultural highlights on offer. Slightly further afield are the newly refurbished St James Quarter, Harvey Nichols and the Omni centre - a multi screen cinema complex.

Bus and Tram networks provide access to all areas of the city including direct trams to Edinburgh Airport. Waverley Railway station is a five minute walk away and access to the city bypass to Glasgow and the Queensferry Crossing to Fife is within easy reach.
