Flat 2, 33 Queen Street

In the centre of Edinburgh, this elegant Grade A Listed Georgian town house was built around 1780. In 1999 the residence was divided to form 3 luxury apartments and in 2005 this apartment was comprehensively refurbished.

Flat number 2 provides centrally located accommodation for 2 people [can be increased to 4] and is on first floor level.

The property has been inspected by the Scottish Tourist Board and awarded 5 stars - a world class grading for accommodation.

The drawing/dining room overlooks Queen Street, towards the private Residents' Garden opposite [a key is provided for access to the garden].

The main entrance from Queen Street gives access to the large vestibule, which leads to the spacious, fully carpeted outer hall.

All rooms in the apartment are off the internal hall, which features quartz halogen lighting, a longcase clock, a small gate-leg table, an umbrella stand [with umbrellas!] and hall mirror.

Accommodation is well equipped - for example the 43" Plasma television offers 30 digital channels, and the Bose CD, DVD and FM radio system supplies the entire apartment with music through the 'Octopus' integrated sound system! Broadband internet access is also available.

The walls feature framed prints depicting scenes from 18th century Edinburgh.

The bedroom has a single large Georgian window and a comfortable Queen-sized double bed with cherry wood headboard. There is a large fitted wardrobe.

The bedroom overlooks the rear of the building and has a large gilt bevelled mirror, a dressing table with illuminated mirror and 2 bedside tables, with silk-lined lamp shades.

The spacious drawing/dining room has 3 Georgian windows with their original cast-iron balconies, working shutters and a pair of very comfortable 3-seater settees - each folds down to form a full-size double bed.

Separated by a coffee table, the settees are on either side of the imposing gas coal-effect fireplace, which is operated by remote control.
