Pilton, Edinburgh, EH5

Tenure: Freehold

Welcome to a two-bedroom ground-floor flat that is presented in true walk-in condition, enjoying a blank canvas of décor and modern fixtures and fittings throughout. The city home further boasts sociable open-plan living, as well as a private balcony, two bathrooms, and excellent storage. It forms part of a sought-after modern development that provides residents’ parking and a fantastic location in popular Pilton. Set within easy reach of amenities, green spaces, schools, and transport links, it represents a highly desirable opportunity for a wide variety of buyers.

The flat is reached via a secure communal entrance, the front door opening into a welcoming hall that offers built-in storage and a lovely first impression. To the right is the open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room which continues the appealing décor of neutral tones and plush carpeting – the perfect look for new buyers. Here, there is plenty of space for both lounge furniture and a table and chairs. Furthermore, this reception area extends outwards onto a private balcony that enjoys a south-facing aspect, capturing lots of daily sun. Meanwhile, the kitchen is neatly zoned, providing a fantastic selection of wood-toned cabinets and generous worksurface space in stone effect. The modern look is enhanced even further by a full suite of integrated appliances, including a gas hob, statement extractor, raised oven, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine. On the opposite side of the hall, the two double bedrooms both echo the living area. They are comfortable and both enjoy a light and airy ambience. The principal suite has the advantage of a built-in wardrobe and a quality three-piece en-suite shower room, whilst the second bedroom has built-in storage. A three-piece family bathroom completes the interiors, incorporating a hidden-cistern toilet, a storage-set washbasin, and a bathtub with an over-bath shower. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort and efficiency.

Outside, the development provides ample residents’ parking and well-maintained communal garden grounds.

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.

Factor: the development is factored by Hacking & Paterson for the approximate fee of £120 per month. This cost includes the upkeep of communal areas, garden maintenance, and block buildings insurance.
