It’s a proposition that’s too good to miss. The chance to live in contemporary luxury, in the heart of a UNESCO World Heritage site, within walking distance of every possible amenity and close to transport links.
That’s what awaits buyers at Queensberry Properties’ ‘Waverley Square’ in Edinburgh’s old town, where the 66 apartments range in size from spacious one to three bedrooms, many with private terraces and all of them finished to an exceptional standard.
Still available is Plot 44, a galleried top floor apartment with double-height windows and an expansive living/dining/kitchen space. There are two double bedrooms, one with an en-suite, and the gallery space offers the flexibility to create either a third bedroom or an office.
Plot 06 is a sleek three-bedroom apartment spread over 1367 sq ft, with an abundance of storage space and Plot 26 is a two-bedroom apartment with an outdoor terrace that is accessed from the living /kitchen/dining area.
All apartments have contemporary German kitchens by Leicht , Siemens appliances, sanitaryware by Laufen, quality floor coverings, thermostatic heating controls and secure video entry systems, while a chic and stylish show apartment, designed by Suzanne Thomas, creative director at Blocc Interiors, using a palette of ‘tobacco’ shades accented by jewel colours, offers inspirational insight into what it would be like to live in the development.
Waverley Square is part of the wider £240m New Waverley regeneration initiative that is breathing new life into this historic setting, which is surrounded by destination shops, cafes, restaurants and bars. Edinburgh Gin is currently building its multi-million pound new distillery in the neighbourhood; The Brewdog Doghouse Hotel & Bar is already open; there’s a new Chophouse Restaurant and Gannet & Guga coffee shop as well as other delis, retailers and cocktail bars.
From here it’s just a short walk to both the Royal Mile and Waverley Station; Edinburgh University, the Signet Library and the Scottish Parliament are on the doorstep and from nearby Princes Street there’s a direct Tram Line link to Edinburgh Airport.
Hazel Davies, Sales and Marketing Director of Queensberry Properties said: “Waverley Square is a luxury development in unique surroundings, close to everything that makes Edinburgh one of the most desirable cities in the world. It is proving very popular with international buyers and with those commuting between Scotland and London, for whom the spaciousness of the apartments comes as a welcome surprise.”
As well as the show apartment, there is also a striking unfurnished three-bedroom walk-through apartment, while a virtual apartment selector system allows users to explore the location, experience the properties and download particulars of Waverley Square using interactive technology from the comfort of their own home.
