SITUATION:

The New Town is one of Edinburgh’s most sought after and popular areas of the City. Carlton Terrace forms part of the Georgian New Town by architect William Playfair built in the 1820s and the architectural UNESCO World Heritage Site. The integrity of Playfair’s façade has survived remarkably intact with continuous trellis balconies and Greek Doric porches. Benefitting from an elevated position, the property enjoys views of the surrounding green spaces and the Firth of Forth. The property qualifies for access to Regent Gardens, the largest and arguably the best of the privately owned gardens in the New Town.

Carlton Terrace is a peaceful, leafy and traditional Edinburgh cobbled street in the heart of the City, enviably located within walking distance to the City centre and its thoroughfares, as well as the recently opened state of the art St James’ Centre with iconic John Lewis and its amenities. The property is situated to take advantage of the excellent shopping establishments in Princes Street and George Street and the delicatessens and artisan boutiques near Broughton Street and Stockbridge. The Playhouse with its ever-changing catalogue of theatre is minutes away as well as the Omni Centre and Waverley Train Station. Broughton Street is served by a wealth of pubs, bistros and restaurants a brief walk away. Despite its proximity to the centre of town Carlton Terrace is surrounded by an abundance of green space; it is adjacent to Calton Hill, with its incredible 360° views from Arthur Seat to Fife, and is a stone’s throw from Holyrood Palace and park.

Edinburgh is renowned for its first-class public and private schools and highly regarded further education colleges and universities. Carlton Terrace lies in the catchment for Abbeyhill Primary School and Drummond Community High School. Private schooling options include George Heriot’s School, The Edinburgh Academy, George Watsons’s College, Erskine Stewarts Melville Schools (ESMS) and the prestigious Fettes College.
