Internal Alterations to 9 Nelson Street, Edinburgh
July 2013.
This property is Grade A listed, in a Conservation Area and also part of the Edinburgh New Town World Heritage site. But properties with provenience like that do not make easy projects and they can require extraordinary amounts of time and effort. The entire property was overhauled, with every room having either major structural, electrical, plumbing or decorative work carried out. The property now boasts;
A redecorated entrance hallway and stairs, modern kitchen / diner, revamped drawing room, A grand master bedroom with contemporary ensuite,A rumpus room, A double room overlooking Nelson Street and a twin room with contemporary storage at the rear.
Of all the rooms in the flat however, my favourite has to be the contemporary luxury bathroom.
