    This apartment offers an opportunity to purchase a property with genuine period presence and cultural heritage, while having an ideal location in the very centre of Edinburgh.

    Converted in 2012, this two bedroom apartment is situated on the first floor of the five storey factored development and has a secure entry system and is accessed by stair.

    In ''move in'' condition and owner/occupied, the front door opens into an appealing hall that is timber floored and has a large built-in cupboard. The expansive twin windowed living space comprises defined sitting, dining and kitchen areas and retains its two original cast iron structural support columns. The comfortable sitting area has polished broad gauge floor boards and is naturally bright. The dining area will accommodate a full sized dining table and chairs. The modern kitchen features white handleless wall and floor mounted cabinets, with dark grey countertops and horizontal tiled splash back, integrated appliances, a stainless steel chimney extractor hood, and a matching kitchen island that houses the sink. With a mix of the laminate floor and tiled flooring to the kitchen and dining area.

    The principal bedroom has a feature panelled wall and an attractive, partially tiled en suite shower room with three-piece suite and a heated towel rail. The second double bedroom is twin windowed and both bedrooms will accommodate all required furniture. The separate bathroom has a three piece suite with a shower over the bath and is tiled and decorated in the same style as the en suite shower room.

    The apartment has double glazed casement windows, gas fired central heating and there is a communal bicycle store.

    History:
    30a Shandwick Place forms part of a Category C listed late 19th century terrace, originally designed as the Albert Galleries, a purpose built art gallery, and later adapted for commercial use, reflecting the evolution of Edinburgh's West End.

    Its richly detailed sandstone façade, designed in a Free Renaissance style, and its consequent contribution, as part of a unified architectural composition by William Hamilton Beattie, to the streetscape of Shandwick Place that lies within the Edinburgh's unesco World Heritage Site and its status as a key gateway between Princes Street and the West End, emphasises the importance of its significance.

    Location:
    Shandwick Place is one of those rare Edinburgh addresses that blends true convenience with an unmistakable West End character. Living here means being moments from everything: Haymarket Station, the tram, major bus routes, cafés, gyms, and everyday essentials are all on the doorstep, yet the area still feels calm and residential rather than frenetic. The street's architecture exudes a sense of heritage and quality, with handsome period buildings and wide pavements that make it an attractive place to live.

    Easily accessed from Shandwick Place, Edinburgh's Financial District is centred around the West End, specifically the area around Morrison Street, Lothian Road, Semple Street and Exchange Crescent.

    Shandwick Place offers easy access to a wide range of cultural and leisure amenities. The Usher Hall, Lyceum and Traverse Theatre are all within a short walk, as are several galleries and live music venues. The area has a good choice of cafés, restaurants and gyms, and nearby green spaces, including Princes Street Gardens and the Water of Leith walkway that provide simple and interesting options for exercise and outdoor time. It's a location that makes everyday recreation convenient and varied.

    Shandwick Place has excellent road connections. It links directly to the West End, with quick access to Lothian Road, Queensferry Street and the main routes heading north, south and west out of the city. Haymarket is close by for access to major commuter roads. Overall, it offers simple, well connected road access for daily travel in and out of Edinburgh.
