London Street

London Street, 10 London Street, Edinburgh, Scotland

This is classic New Town. Fabulously wide cobbled streets, manicured communal gardens and vast sash windows affording glimpses into houses one can only dream of living in. And you can experience a slice of it. You enter this lower ground-floor flat down a set of gently curving stone steps, the front door opening to an interior of elegant sophistication. The flagstoned floor, gilt mirror and fresh flowers are just the start. Down the pale wood-floor corridor to the sitting room, a soothing space, with an original fireplace and a well-crafted mix of old and new furniture and bright kilims. The small kitchen to the side is decked out with glass tiles, stainless steel and every modern thing. The bathroom is a spectacle of floor-to-ceiling marble, mirrored alcoves softly lit and the largest shower-head imaginable. The mini bath is more for a brief immersion than for a lingering soak but this doesn't detract from the sumptuousness of the experience. In the bedroom, one of Pippa's vintage travel cases folds out to reveal a set of drawers and a hanging rail, while stretches of pale, stripped floorboards and a generous window onto the garden create a light, easy feel. Where modern furniture appears, it melds into the background, the whole place has been so impeccably redone.

Access to the tennis club behind the house can be arranged.
