SITUATION:

East Claremont Street is located on the eastern edge of Edinburgh’s historic New Town that forms part of the city’s UNESCO World Heritage site. It is just a short stroll to the vibrant and cosmopolitan Broughton Street that offers independent shops, food stores, restaurants and cafes. Also close by is the brand-new St James Quarter, an upmarket mixed-used retail and entertainment complex, and the shops along George Street and Princes Street, the city’s main shopping thoroughfare.

The area is well served with local amenities and there is a large Tesco superstore in Canonmills, just a five-minute walk away. In terms of recreational and leisure offerings, there is a multi-screen cineplex and a Nuffield Health Club & Gym at the Omni Centre on Greenside Place where you will also find The Playhouse Theatre.   

The property is situated close to George V Park from where you can access an extensive network of walking and cycle pathways whilst the Royal Botanical Garden Edinburgh, Inverleith Park and the Water of Leith walkway are all within easy reach.

East Claremont Street falls within the catchment area for Broughton Primary School, Drummond Community High School and St Mary’s RC Primary School with private schooling options available nearby at Fettes College, The Edinburgh Academy, George Heriot’s School and St George’s Girls School.

Within close proximity, there is an extensive range of train and bus services that run from both Waverley Station and Edinburgh Bus Station whilst there are excellent bus and tram services from St Andrews Square to Edinburgh International Airport. The A1 to East Lothian is easily accessible as is the City By-pass that links into Central Scotland’s motorway network.

ACCOMMODATION:

 East Claremont Street is a well-proportioned three/four -bedroom property offering plenty of design scope, subject to planning consents, that would allow for the creation of a wonderful family home. The ground floor accommodation boasts large rooms of grand proportions featuring high ceilings, traditional cornicing, Edinburgh Press cupboards, period fireplaces and Georgian sash and case windows.

The spacious accommodation is as follows:

▪      The main door of the east facing grand double fronted Georgian façade opens into a large entrance vestibule featuring ceiling cornicing and a Roman gladiator-styled sculptural frieze set above the glass-paned door and screen that leads into the large hallway lined with original flagstones.

▪      Currently there are two generously sized receptions rooms accessed from the entrance hallway, both enjoying high ceilings, sash and case windows and views across the attractive cobbled street to the front of the property. One possible re-design scenario is to connect the larger of the two reception rooms with the spacious master bedroom, positioned behind at the rear of the property, to create one large open plan modern living area that would incorporate a kitchen-dining-relaxing space.

▪      The current second reception room on the right of the hallway could easily be reconfigured to become a double bedroom with an en-suite shower room created out of the small internal corridor that connects the room to the accommodation at the back of the house.

▪      Overlooking the lovely west facing garden at the rear of the property, there are two spacious rooms (one was the kitchen) that would be ideally positioned to be used as two good sized double bedrooms.

▪      Between these two rooms and the current master bedroom is a wallk-through cloakroom that leads into the ground floor bathroom.

▪      The internal ground floor hallway features two deep storage cupboards as well as access to the basement garden level.

▪      On this level, there is a large modern bathroom with a walk-in shower, WC and basin

▪      The fourth double bedroom at garden level enjoys a lovely leafy aspect across the landscaped garden

▪      From the basement back door, there is direct access to the stone wall-enclosed and beautifully maintained garden that features a stone-paved terrace, grass lawn, pebbled pathway, floral borders, mature trees and a store shed.

▪      There is also a 100 square foot stone outhouse in the garden which could, subject to planning approval, be extended and converted into a home office, gym or garden room.
