Tenure: Freehold

Part of an established development, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat has a fantastic location, set beside a large public green in sought-after Davidson’s Mains. It is within easy reach of transport links, amenities, a large supermarket, and schools. Furthermore, the property itself is in excellent decorative order, providing modern interiors finished to high standards. It includes a large open-plan living area, a well-appointed kitchen, and two bathrooms. It also boasts a private garden and residents’ parking.  

Accessed via a secure telephone-entry system, the flat’s front door opens with a warm welcome into a hall with generous built-in storage. To the left, double doors make an entrance into the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, which continues the hall’s neutral palette and hardwood floor. It adds a bold accent wall to the aesthetic, creating a stylish living space that catches the eye. It is generously proportioned for a wide choice of furnishings, and can easily accommodate comfy sofas and a table and chairs. Arranged in an L-shape, the kitchen adds further colour to the space, providing mocha-hued cabinets and sweeping, downlit worksurfaces. The splashbacks complement the décor as well, whilst seamlessly integrated appliances ensure that desired streamlined finish (oven, gas hob, extractor hood, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine). On the opposite side of the hall, the two double bedrooms are set side by side. Both are attractively decorated and laid with soft carpet, providing plenty of floorspace for an assortment of bedside furnishings, in addition to built-in wardrobes for optimal clothes storage. The principal bedroom has the added advantage of its own en-suite shower room, as well as French doors extending out into the private rear garden. The home is finished by a family bathroom that matches the style and quality of the en-suite, enjoying neutral décor and sandy-toned tile work. It features a three-piece suite and an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.

Outside, the property has a private rear garden that is fully enclosed and easy to maintain, providing a delightful space for relaxing in the sun. The development also has private residents’ parking.
