Stunning 5 Bedroom Royal Mile Penthouse

Steeped in history, James Court was built in 1723 and has housed many notable figures in its lifetime. A stone archway leads to a fairy tale traditional spiral staircase which rises to this beautiful charming apartment - just off the Royal Mile in Edinburgh's historic Old Town. The property itself is a fifth floor apartment laid out over two levels & joined by an inner spiral staircase. Elegantly furnished, & with stunning views over the city, this will provide a dream stay in Edinburgh.

This is a fully licensed 5 bedroom apartment, with 3 bathrooms and a living room which can be used as a 6th sleeping area. The main living area is on the lower floor, as are all the bathrooms and 3 of the bedrooms. The property has a spacious kitchen and a dining area on this level. Upstairs there is another bedroom and a loft space, which serves as the final 5th bedroom.

Despite being right on the Royal Mile, a stone's throw from the Castle, it is a surprisingly quiet flat.

You will be renting the entire apartment.

One important thing to note: The flat is on the fifth floor, and there is no lift access. I can arrange for someone to meet you at the apartment to assist in carrying your luggage upstairs if required - it would be no problem at all, and this would be free of charge.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask :)
