The Terrace Apartment

Property Description

Occupying the ground floor of the main house, the Terrace Apartment enjoys an open-plan living and dining area, a fully equipped kitchen complete with hatch, and a sunny, south-facing private terrace. A clean simplicity runs throughout, resulting in a timeless elegance which is both practical and comfortable.

Rock House is a unique landmark home boasting spectacular panoramic views of Edinburgh from its elevated position (accessed via Calton Steps), conveniently located just a few moments' walk from Princes Street.

Built in the 1750s, Rock House is reputed to be one of the oldest houses in Edinburgh's New Town. It came to worldwide fame as the home of David Octavius Hill, the pioneering photographer who in 1843, together with Robert Adamson, developed the calotype process here — both credited with originating photography as an art form. Recently renovated, it has returned to its former glory.

The location is ideal — on Calton Hill, close to both Old Town and New Town. The airport tram stop and Waverley train station are both around 5 minutes' walk, with a secure public car park (OMNI) just a few minutes away.
