Family home in an old gym with1k sqft party room just 1 min walk from George St

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!
