DESCRIPTION

The apartment is situated in Newington in the heart of Edinburgh, about a mile from the famous main shopping area of Princes Street. Newington itself is well served by shops and restaurants, and there are regular buses to Princes Street. Edinburgh Castle can just be seen from the penthouse patio. The apartment is part of a modern development on the edge of Holyrood Park, across the road from Edinburgh University's Pollock Halls of Residence and only a hundred metres from the Royal Commonwealth swimming pool. Most of the apartment blocks in the development were newly built from modern materials, but the penthouse is on the roof of an historic bonded warehouse that has been given a modern brick facade. The solid building underneath provides terrific insulation, and the apartment maintains an excellent even temperature throughout the year.

The penthouse is four floors up from street level, and has a small rooftop patio. The apartment building is right against the edge of the Royal Park, and from the patio side of the apartment there is a magnificent uninterrupted view of Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Craigs rising only a few hundred metres away. The apartment block is about 17 years old, and has adequate but limited parking for residents. There is a lift for easy access, and for security there is an entryphone system installed.
