Overview

With its own private ground floor entrance 70 Great King Street is a thoroughly yet sensitively modernised home. Set within a Grade A Listed Georgian townhouse it was originally designed by Robert Reid and William Sibbald in around 1814. Boasting handsome external elevations, tall sash windows and working shutters. No expense has been spared internally, and the property features impressive original fireplaces and ornate cornicing complemented by bespoke modern styling via its marble surfaces, handmade custom kitchen and high specification bathrooms.

The accommodation is arranged over three levels, with the private main entrance and reception rooms on the ground floor, and four bedrooms across the lower two levels. The grand reception hall features tiled flooring, a corniced ceiling, and a chandelier, and leads to a generous drawing room, which offers wooden parquet flooring, a high ceiling with cornicing, panelled walls, a fireplace, and two tall sash windows that flood the space with natural light. At the rear, the well-equipped kitchen offers stylish shaker units, marble worktops, a central island with a breakfast bar, integrated appliances, and a range cooker, while the adjoining dining area provides ample space for a family dining table.

Stairs lead down from the entrance hall to the lower levels, with three bedrooms found on the lower ground floor. These include the well-proportioned principal bedroom, which overlooks the private rear garden and benefits from an en suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub and a walk-in shower with a rainfall shower head. This also provides one of the two convenient garden access points via a rear external stair. The family bathroom is likewise found on this level, also with a freestanding modern bathtub and a rainfall shower, while internal stairs continue to the garden level, the front courtyard and stores can be accessed via the hall. Providing a further versatile and convenient entrance or exit from this floor. The garden level completes the accommodation with its direct access to the private rear garden and substantial double bedroom and shower room, concluding with the bar, seating and wine cellar.
