Reached via a shared entrance and stairwell, the flat’s front door opens into an inviting hall that offers a lovely introduction. To the right is the living room. Here, a crisp neutral palette is complemented by rich wood details, including the varnished wooden floorboards, timber-framed sash windows offering lovely views of Inverleith Park, and the mantelpiece of the striking feature fireplace. Lavish cornice work highlights the lofty ceiling, whilst a dado and picture rail add to the charming aesthetic. The room is well-proportioned for lounge furniture and it is brightly illuminated too. A shelved recess completes the room. In the dining kitchen, generous dimensions create a light and airy space, with ample room for a large table and chairs – perfect for lively dinner parties.
