Brought to market in an immaculate condition, with exceptionally stylish, contemporary interiors, this main-door lower-ground floor flat forms part of an A-listed Georgian building in the city’s UNESCO World Heritage Site New Town conservation area.

Entrance – Immediately introducing the flat’s stylish interiors

A set of steps from street level lead down to the flat’s private courtyard, where the front door opens into a wide reception hall (with a large built-in storage cupboard), immediately setting the tone for the pristine interiors to follow with pared-back neutral décor and wood-styled flooring.

Open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room – A fabulous open-plan living space

Leading off the hall and enjoying a wealth of natural light through large twin arched windows, the fabulous open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room is sure to appeal to those who love to entertain and host dinner parties. The room continues the attractive presentation of the entrance area with the same neutral décor and flooring, enhanced by classic cornicing and a striking period fireplace. There is ample space for a selection of lounge and dining furniture, and in the adjoining kitchen, cream and blue-toned cabinetry is accompanied by Silestone worktops and chic splashback tiling. A full complement of appliances is neatly integrated, contributing to the sleek, modern finish. These comprise A Siemens oven and induction hob, a concealed extractor fan, a dishwasher, and a washing machine.

Bedrooms – Three comfortable and flexible sleeping area

The flat accommodates three light and airy double bedrooms, all continuing the immaculate presentation of the preceding accommodation with tasteful, neutral décor and fitted carpets for optimum comfort underfoot. The particularly spacious principal bedroom enjoys the same south-facing arched twin windows as the living room and features a characterful fireplace, as well as boasting its own en-suite shower room. The remaining bedrooms are peacefully rear-facing and one is accompanied by a large built-in wardrobe. The smallest of the three bedrooms could be utilised by the new owner as a home office, if a homeworking/study space is required.

Bathrooms – Stylish, well-appointed washrooms

The principal bedroom’s tastefully tiled en-suite comprises a large enclosure with a rainfall showerhead and handset, a countertop basin, a concealed-cistern WC, and an illuminated, wall-mounted mirror.

The flat is kept warm by a gas central heating system and retains its characterful, traditional timber sash-and-case windows.
