Edinburgh property: Incredible attic flat with 'Rapunzel' tower room hits the market

A stunning Edinburgh flat has hit the market tucked away in the attic of one of the city's former hotels.

An iconic building opposite the Barnton junction, the two-bedroom property is situated at the top of the old Barnton Hotel, which was built all the way back in 1895.

Converted into flats after lying vacant for some time, the flat has some extremely unique features, from its views over the city to its Rapunzel-like tower room.

Mainly situated over the top attic floor, a small staircase leads up to the square tower, with huge windows on almost every wall making for an incredible space to relax in.

The tower room is stunning (Gillespie MacAndrew)

Downstairs, the property has two well sized bedrooms, and an open plan living and kitchen space that has a very cosy feel due to its sloped ceilings.

Currently on the market for offers over £270,000, agents Gillespie MacAndrew said:
