Windsor Street, a quiet classical Georgian terrace in the heart of Edinburgh, was designed in 1822 by William Playfair, one of Scotland's greatest architects who excelled in bringing to Scottish Georgian architecture a sense of Classical Greece.

19 Windsor Street was bought by Deborah Galbraith in l997 to provide a spacious, elegant family home. The lower ground floor has been sensitively restored into a contemporary, stylish, warm and comfortable apartment (sleeping 4 with one bathroom).

And there is the added (and rare) advantage of free off-road parking at the rear of 19 Windsor Street available for the use of guests.

This is a wonderful opportunity to stay in a period Edinburgh home which is within walking distance of the major attractions of this great city.

Accommodation:

The apartment is self contained from the upper three floors of the house and is accessed by steps from Windsor Street. There is a pretty flagstoned patio area to the front with plants and garden bench.

Kitchen

Morning sun streams into the living room (right) where a dining table is placed by the shuttered window which looks out onto a pretty walled garden.
Colour television, video, CD player, radio and tape machine are all available.
The floor is polished original Caithness flagstones.
There is a fully sprung sofa-bed offering flexibility to guests and sleeping for two.
The kitchen (left) is accessed from the sitting room and is well equipped with cooker, microwave, dishwasher, fridge and freezer.

Sitting Room

The bedroom (left and right) has shutters at the windows, a polished wood floor and antique brass beds which can be prepared as twins or one luxuriously large king sized bed with crisp cotton bed linen.

The bathroom (right) is wonderfully spacious with an open fireplace, deep metal bath with an overhead shower, WC and a handsome wash basin.

Bathroom

Just off the bathroom is the wash-house (right) with deep handsome washing sinks and old 'copper' giving a insight into the work of the household staff on washday in the early 1800's. Today, for guest's use, there is an automatic washing and drying machine.
