About this house rental

We've spent the last 2 years restoring this fabulous space and turning it into our family home.
Originally purpose built in the 1850's as a gymnasium, it has also been used as a Mason's dance practice area, an artist's studio, and also a Festival venue.
It is amazingly located in the centre of Edinburgh's "First New Town", less than 1 min walk from the junction of George St and Frederick St. Look on a map and you'll see how central this is!
You are surrounded by all the bars, restaurants, pubs, venues, transport links and history of the famous New Town, yet on a quiet bar free one-way street where you won't hear much.
Unusually there are also 2 private parking spaces with the house.
The showstopper in the house is the top floor room, which is the original gymnasium with period vaulted ceiling and 'lantern' - a glass room bringing extra light into the space. The room is around 10m x 10m in size, and we've turned it into our living and entertaining space. It has a large concrete kitchen island, 2x Gaggenau ovens, an induction cook top, a Quooker hot water tap, and 4 Sonos speakers with sub.
On the ground and lower floors there are 6 bedrooms. One has a "triple sleeper" bed - this can be used either as a double bed or bunks, another can be set up as either a super king or two singles, a further 2 have king size beds, a further room has a standard single bunk bed (sleeps 2) and the "Master" room has an enormous Conran Shop steel super king 4 poster bed.
There are 2 fully equipped bathrooms - each has a rainfall shower and a separate bathtub, and twin sinks. There is a further toilet with a sink.
This is our beautiful family home and we look forward to welcoming you and your guests to stay in it!

"Spent two weeks at Edinburgh Fringe and couldn't have asked for a better home base. The house is lovely with an open kitchen/dining/living space that was great for socializing. The sleeping spaces are..."
