 In a traditional Georgian townhouse such as this one, the first floor apartments were always the showstoppers. With the highest ceilings and the biggest windows - this is where well-to-do guests were received and entertaining was done.
6 Haddington Place isn’t just an approximation of this - it is the real thing. This building was one of the first of the Georgian New Town and has been A listed for its outstanding architectural value. There are a wealth of original features everywhere that include fireplace and cornicing. The original shutters have been restored to working order throughout and provide privacy and blackout in exactly the way they did two hundred years ago.
6 Haddington Place is, however, as far from a museum as you can get – it positively oozes comfort and glamour. We have brought together a mixture of antique and modern fittings and fixtures that bring this gem into the 21st century without compromising its architectural integrity. Antique crystal light fittings and jet black granite flooring let you know that only the best has been chosen. Power showers, integrated appliances and modern gas central heating are all discreet reminders that your comfort is paramount.
The apartment is located on a broad boulevard directly opposite Valvona and Crolla (the famous Italian deli which is ideal for your morning bread/croissants) and is a stone’s throw from the fashionable Broughton Street area with fabulous cafes, delis and traditional pubs. Shoppers will enjoy the proximity to Princes Street and Harvey Nichols - both just 5 minutes walk from the apartment. With sight-seeing in mind, the apartment is steps from Calton Hill which affords fantastic views of the entire city - including Hollyrood Palace, the Scottish Parliament, The Castle and the most outstanding view of Princes Street including the Scott Monument and Princes Street Gardens - a perfect way to begin or end your stay in Edinburgh.
