Tenure: Freehold

Forming part of a handsome, B-listed Georgian tenement building in the New Town, within the UNESCO World Heritage Site conservation area, this main-door flat enjoys two bedrooms, an impressive reception room, a dining hall, a kitchen, and a bathroom, all presented with beautifully styled interiors and a wealth of period features. The flat is situated in one the city’s most desirable postcodes, with endless amenities on the doorstep and within enviable easy reach.

A set of stone steps leads to the flat’s private front door, which opens into an airy, practical entrance vestibule with space for coat and shoe storage. From here, double doors flow through to a dining hall (with built-in storage), where plenty of space is provided for a six-seater dining table. The vestibule and hall are tastefully decorated and enjoy tiled flooring and period features, setting the tone for the interiors to follow. 

To the left of the hall lies an impressive living room, conveying a wonderfully bright and spacious atmosphere, with a generous floorspace, a soaring ceiling (adorned with beautifully detailed cornicing and a ceiling rose), and large twin recessed windows with working shutters, southwest-facing and capturing sunny natural light throughout the day. The room is elegantly presented with dove-grey décor, handsome wood flooring, and a bold feature wall, whilst a striking fireplace creates a focal point around which furniture can be arranged. The kitchen neighbours the living room and is fitted with modern cream-coloured wall and base cabinets and workspace, with a freestanding cooker, fridge/freezer, and washing machine also included.

The flat accommodates two well-proportioned double bedrooms, both continuing the airiness and stylish presentation of the preceding accommodation, with their own unique bold décor, original flooring, and recessed windows with working shutters. The larger bedroom features an Edinburgh press, whilst bedroom two is accompanied by built-in storage. Finally, a bathroom completes the accommodation and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a WC-suite, and a large wall-mounted mirror. The flat is kept warm by a gas central heating system. 

Externally, the flat benefits from access to a shared garden, and on-street permit parking falls under Zone 6.
