Stylish Waterside Location; Easy Access to Centre

The flat comfortably accommodates 3-4 people, although there are 5 potential bed spaces. It has a fine outlook: the front window looks onto the river and cobbled streets of Leith, Edinburgh's port city, now regenerated into an upmarket residential and recreational area. The sights of central Edinburgh are just a 20-minute ride away - buses leaving every few minutes from right outside the door; trams all the way to the airport a 2 minute walk away. This is a chic, comfortable apartment.

Iconic Apartment in Dean Village - Well Court Hall

In the heart of Edinburgh’s beautiful Dean Village sits Well Court Hall. Built in the 1880’s by the then owner of The Scotsman newspaper Sir John Findlay who was disgruntled by his view of the dilapidated tenements which his grand home overlooked.
