5 Bed Terraced House For Sale

Occupying a commanding position on one of Edinburgh’s most desirable New Town streets, 53 Albany Street presents a wonderful opportunity to purchase a full Georgian townhouse extending over four floors, offering over 4,500 sq ft of flexible accommodation, complete with a self-contained two-bedroom lower ground flat and a potential development plot to the rear.

This handsome Category A-listed property boasts all the hallmarks of classic Georgian architecture, including high ceilings, elegant sash and case windows, ornate fireplaces, and beautifully proportioned rooms that offer a sense of grandeur and space throughout. A striking, sweeping staircase forms the centrepiece of the main home and sets the tone for the character found throughout.

Outside:

One of the home’s most treasured features is its extensive, south-facing rear garden - a rare find in the heart of Edinburgh’s New Town. Lush, mature, and remarkably preserved in its original Georgian layout, this private oasis offers a perfect haven for families to enjoy outdoor living, summer entertaining, and peaceful moments of retreat. Bathed in natural sunlight throughout the day, it beautifully complements the grandeur of the house.

There is a potential building plot located to the rear on York Lane, offering rare development potential within the city centre - ideal for a mews house, garage, or secure private parking (subject to the necessary consents).

To the front, a private basement area enhances kerb appeal and provides access to three under-pavement cellars - ideal for practical storage or potential conversion, subject to the necessary consents.
