Edinburgh Dream Home: Tour a seven bedroom New Town townhouse on the the market for nearly £5 million

A four-storey townhouse on one of Edinburgh’s most exclusive streets has come on the market with a similarly exclusive pricetag - the current owners are looking for offers over £4.75million.

Situated at the heart of the city’s New Town, the fully refurbished Georgian property at 8 India Street extends to 6,678 feet.

That’s enough space for seven double bedrooms, five luxurious bedrooms, three large public rooms, a huge kitchen and a loft containing a playroom and a Bedouin-style tent cinema.

Outside there’s a south-west facing garden that gets plenty of sun and a heated double garage with power and water.

While the property has all mod cons, including energy efficient heating and lighting systems as well as state of the art security and technology schemes, it also retains a wealth of period detail, from decorative ceiling plasterwork to traditional shutters.

The current owners said: “We have loved our 11 years in this wonderful house, we’ve found it to be simply the perfect family home, with its central yet quiet New town location and amazing entertainment and guest spaces. There are very few homes with such providence and grandeur that also have cutting edge technology and convenience...we put our hearts and souls into the 3 year redevelopment but a desire to be near our grandchildren has forced our hand and we are sad to move on.”
