AT the Riverbank you could be pardoned for thinking you are in the countryside. The setting is a secluded courtyard, there is greenery and the pleasant sound of running water.

In fact, this Riverbank is a residential development within the Dean conservation area of Edinburgh.

It combines new-build apartments with floor to ceiling glazing, and converted apartments and mews cottages which incorporate a range of original features such as internal pillars and exposed brickwork.

Taking in a mix of two, three and four-bedroom homes with a top level specification prices range from offers over £399,950 to offers over £1,100,000 for the final phase.

Sharon Zaremski of agents Strutt and Parker said: "It is almost like an idyllic little world of its own. Looking down onto the river and greenery, it is hard to imagine that Princes Street is a 10-minute walk away."
