6/1, Howe Street, New Town, Edinburgh, EH3 6TD

6/1 Howe Street is a beautifully presented four-bedroom, first-floor apartment in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town.

The home has been completely refurbished by the current owners to include new kitchen, bathrooms, flooring, heating system (radiators and pipes), electrics and full redecoration throughout, and is now presented in turnkey condition.

The apartment is entered via a well-kept shared tenement stair into a wide hallway from which all rooms are accessed, with newly laid solid oak flooring underfoot.

The newly installed dining kitchen is to the rear, with a light quartz worktop over midnight blue wooden cabinets and a matching island.

Integrated appliances include AEG combi oven/microwave, oven, induction hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/dryer; as well as a Hoover wine fridge.

The living room faces east over Howe Street and retains fine Georgian period features including astragal windows, working shutters, a fully operational original dark stone fireplace and ornate cornicing.

New carpet has been fitted in the living room and bedrooms. The principal bedroom is to the front of the home, along with bedroom four/office, which has built-in storage.

Double bedrooms two and three are to the rear of the apartment.

Two bathrooms serve the property: a WC/family shower room and a second family bathroom with standalone bath, separate shower, WC and underfloor heating — both accessed from the hallway.
