About the home
Reid's Rarity is an exceptional Georgian home in Edinburgh's New Town. Why Reid's Rarity? Robert Reid was the original architect of this 1820 Grade A listed gem, which forms part of an impressive palace block on Great King Street and because it is a unique and special one off. This home is as good as it gets.
Whilst it is an apartment, it definitely feels like an amazing house, and a very generously spaced one at that. Refurbished from top to bottom by the talented, creative owners, everything you see has been considered and finished fabulously. In Reid's Rarity, you will find all the joys of a stunning Georgian property - those gloriously high ceilings, huge rooms and windows and spectacular architectural details, combined with the best of contemporary style and comfort. You will relish staying in Reid's Rarity.&
You enter through your own front door into a stunning hallway. To the right is the beautiful drawing room &with elegant furnishings and gorgeous high ceilings. The dining kitchen is absolutely beautiful with a magnificent kitchen with a range, pantry cupboard, Quooker tap and a marble topped island. Off the kitchen there is a dining room with a table to seat 6 comfortably. Also on this level, you'll find a smart guest loo.
There are two more levels in Reid's Rarity, so three in total. On the first level, you'll find the master suite which is so beautiful and luxurious. The bedroom is an oasis of calm. There's a wealth of built in wardrobes and a to die for marble clad ensuite bathroom which has a huge free standing bath and a wet room area. A door in the ensuite leads to to steps to the garden. There are two further kingsize bedrooms on this floor, sharing another gorgeous marble bathroom with a free standing bath and a shower.
On the lower level you'll find the fourth kingsize bedroom and a shower room which also doubles up as a luxury laundry room. The owners have cleverly created a bar area from the original wine cellars and this is a wonderful place to linger with an old malt whisky, relishing the company of good friends and family. You'll find a door to the private garden on this level too.
Reid's Rarity is a unique and special one off. All guests who are lucky enough to stay here will relish the experience.

Central New Town
![](https://www.dickins.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Scottish-Gallery-crop.jpg)
The Central New Town spans from Scotland Street in the East to Randolph Crescent in the West and from Princes Street in the South to Brandon Terrace in the North. It encompasses most of Edinburgh’s beautiful and enviable Georgian New Town.
In 1766 James Craig, aged 27, entered a competition to design a New Town to ease overcrowding in the Old Town. There were six entries and he won. His plan was for St Andrew Square and Charlotte Square, Princes Street, George Street and Queen Street and was presented to King George III in 1767. Edinburgh’s New Town is now world famous and was designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1995. The Georgian New Town is known for its graceful sweeping crescents, wide streets and private central gardens. The beautiful stone buildings have large astragal windows that we love to peep in on a winters evening to see what lies inside. The architectural details and high ceilings in Edinburgh’s New Town put Bath to shame. The architectural highlights are Charlotte Square, Moray Place and Heriot Row.
