Albany Street — Albany Street

20a Albany Street is a highly attractive New Town home offering generous and well-balanced accommodation, combining the character of Edinburgh’s Georgian architecture with a comfortable and practical layout. The property is arranged around a generous central hall, with an excellent sense of flow between the principal rooms. The standout space is the impressive living room with high ceilings, ornate cornicing, timber flooring and a handsome focal fireplace wall with recessed display and media areas. The proportions are particularly appealing, creating a room that feels both elegant and relaxed — ideal for entertaining as well as everyday living. There is a separate home office accessed immediately from the living room that adds further functionality and accommodates modern remote working practice. The kitchen/dining room is similarly well considered, providing ample space for both cooking and informal dining. White cabinetry, a tiled splashback, integrated appliances, recessed lighting and a generous dining area create a bright, practical and sociable room. A useful pantry sits adjacent that completes the room. There are two bedrooms, including a substantial primary bedroom with en-suite shower room that has been upgraded in recent years. The second bedroom is positioned separately, offering flexibility for guests or family or as an ample permanent double. A main bathroom serves the remainder of the accommodation complete with shower over bath. A notable feature of the home is the excellent ancillary space, including multiple storage areas, a rare and useful feature for a city-centre property. Showcased by the current vendors utilising one of these spaces as an art studio there is a variety of uses for changing needs. To the front of the property there are three private and lined cellars. One of these has already been converted to a utility room with water and power installed for white goods. The others have equal opportunity and potential for additional rooms. Owners of the property will benefit from access to the coveted Queen Street Gardens East for a modest charge of £150 per annum forming a staple part of the local wonderful community. With its classical proportions, refined detailing and enviable New Town address, this is a residence that will appeal to buyers seeking period charm, lateral space and a highly convenient Edinburgh lifestyle.
