Edinburgh property: One bed flat with '1850s dance studio' goes on sale for nearly £1 million

Slap bang in the city centre of Edinburgh is an impressive property complete with high ceilings and studio space.

While it may not look like much on the outside, this apartment proves to be spectacular with quirky features, tying the old with the new.

Despite having just one bedroom, the property has three bathrooms and an impressive former dance studio as the building makes use of every space available.

Several windows and a skylight welcome in natural light to bounce off the white walls and eye catching mint green ceiling.

But such a stunning apartment comes at a price as this one bed apartment is on the market for £925,000.

The location is also factored into this cost - Hill Street is located just down from the bustling George Street which offers multiple bars and places to eat and Princes Street is almost on the doorstep of the property.

Although situated in the 'New Town', the apartment still nods to its historical past with timber beams showing through the ceiling.

The skylight demands extra light to fall through giving the space an airy feel. (Right Move.)

The quirky modern features in the Edinburgh property include pivoting walls so that the resident can create their own dimensions to suit as well as fold-up tables in the main studio space.

Tying in with older aspects, this spectacular property is also home to reclaimed gymnasium timber flooring.

As with many one bed apartments, space is crucial, so the bookshelves allow items to be neatly stored while the bed is tucked away in a cosy nook.

The bed is tucked away in its own little alcove. (Right Move.)

On Rightmove, the listing for the Edinburgh city centre property says: "Located on the corner of Hill Street, the private entrance is positioned at the front of the building, with two private car parking spaces allocated nearby.

"A central staircase leads up to a breath-taking space on the first floor; a former 1850s dance studio with exceptional acoustics, an ornate glass ceiling and a trio of south-facing sash windows, inviting a wonderful quality of natural light.

"Playful interior interventions are paired with impressive classical proportions, with a reclaimed gymnasium timber floor running underfoot, and pivoting walls providing flexible divisions."

They add: "A beautifully light apartment is positioned at ground level, comprising of a bespoke kitchen and an open-plan living area with in-built bookcases and a generous provision of storage.

"Cast-iron radiators rest beneath large sash windows and oiled floorboards run throughout. The bedroom sits neatly to one side of the living area, with a small office and two bathrooms also on this level.

"The lower-ground floor of the house is currently organised as office space, drawing a secured rental income; occupied by commercial tenants on a flexible tenancy arrangement. Separate bathrooms and a kitchenette service this level."
