Introducing a one-bedroom second-floor flat, which forms part of a handsome traditional building in highly sought-after Stockbridge. Perfect for city professionals and couples, this charming residence is presented in move-in condition, providing neutral interiors and open-plan living. Close to fantastic amenities and idyllic green spaces, it has a coveted location and offers easy access to the heart of Edinburgh city centre.

Inside the traditional building, a communal hallway (complete with attractive period features) provides a wonderful first impression. The flat itself is accessed via a secure telephone-entry system and a shared stairwell, the front door opening into a central hall leading to all accommodation. To the left is the open-plan kitchen and living room. Here, a soft neutral palette creates a welcoming environment, whilst white detailing highlights the intricate cornice work, drawing attention to the high ceiling. The room is well proportioned for lounge furniture and it is bathed in natural light from twin south-facing windows. The kitchen is neatly zoned behind a fitted breakfast bar.

Integrated appliances complete the look (oven, electric hob, and dishwasher). Supplementing the kitchen, there is a walk-in (and naturally-lit) store/utility area just off the hall, offering space for additional freestanding appliances, as well as the versatility to be used as a study/office if required. Meanwhile, the double bedroom shares the same south-facing aspect as the living room, ensuring a light and airy ambience. It also continues the subtle decoration providing buyers with an attractive blank canvas. A fitted mirrored wardrobe offers ample storage with additional space above too. Completing the accommodation is a tiled shower room, fitted with a modern three-piece suite. Electric heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.

For enjoying the outdoors, residents have shared access to the private gardens opposite the building, which offer a substantial natural retreat from the hustle and bustle of the city, incorporating generous lawns framed by mature trees and established planting. In addition, homeowners have access to controlled permit parking (Zone N3) – an essential feature in the city centre.
