SITUATION:

The Quartermile Development is one of the largest and most comprehensive regeneration schemes in Scotland. Formerly the home of the historic Edinburgh Royal Infirmary, the 8-hectare site is located within a conservation area on Edinburgh’s Victorian fringes and includes nine listed buildings. It lies between the heart of the city and the parkland of the Meadows and falls within a central area of Edinburgh that was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1995.

Quartermile is a stunning mix of luxury contemporary apartments in converted original buildings and new-build properties boasting cutting edge design and finished to a high specification; all set within landscaped communal gardens and benefiting from 24 hour security service. Within the development there are several coffee shops and eateries including a Starbucks, Caffé Nero and Soderberg, a Swedish-owned artisanal bakery and café, a Marriott Residence hotel, Sainsbury’s Local as well as a Pure Gym (open 24 hours) and Tribe Yoga studio.

Cosmopolitan Bruntsfield and the Grassmarket are within walking distance, both offering a varied choice of independent bars, restaurants, cafes and boutiques. The historic Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle and the city centre with its extensive shopping, dining and entertainment options including cinemas, theatres, art galleries and tourist attractions are within comfortable walking distance.

There is easy access to transport links across the city via a regular bus service, and Waverley train station is walking distance away. The Quartermile development sits next to The Meadows, an extensive expanse of green, leafy outdoor space popular for picnics and features a pitch and putt golf course, tennis courts and a bowling green. It’s also a short walk to the city’s iconic Arthur’s Seat, the highest point in Holyrood Park, popular with walkers and runners.

The property is in the catchment area for Tollcross Primary School and St Thomas of Aquin’s RC High School, with private schooling available nearby at George Heriot’s, George Watson’s College and Merchiston Castle School. It sits adjacent to Edinburgh University’s main campus.
