    About the property

    **UNDER OFFER** Enjoying a fantastic location on bustling Portobello High Street and just a five-minute stroll from the promenade and sandy beach, this first (top) floor flat is characterised by grand proportions and an exclusively south-facing aspect, not to mention a wealth of desirable period features.

    Accessed via a entry-phone system and a well-maintained stairwell, the first (top) floor landing is bathed in natural light from a magnificent cupola. From here the front door opens into an equally sunny hall, which benefits from two skylights. Floored in contemporary oak boards and freshly redecorated in neutral tones, the hall makes a fabulous first impression. The elegant living room/dining room is flooded with light from a splendid south-facing sash and case window and at the heart of the room is a wonderful working fireplace. The room offers flexible scope for various seating and dining arrangements. The Kitchen is lined with crisp white fitted cabinets, dark granite-effect worktops and a number of integrated appliances. The flat boasts two spacious double bedrooms and an immaculate three-piece bathroom. Tiled in neutral tones, the bathroom features a lavish Jacuzzi bath with a wall mounted shower and a glass screen, plus a wall-hung basin and a WC. Completing the accommodation is a practical storage cupboard and a good-sized utility cupboard, which is plumbed for laundry facilities. The original sash-and-case windows have been well-maintained and draught proofed; the gas central heating system was upgraded with a new combi boiler in 2015; hardwired smoke detectors are installed in every room. Externally, the property benefits from access to a shared courtyard garden to the rear.

    Situated in the charming and desirable seaside town of Portobello, the property is close to a range of excellent and varied amenities, ideally located near the promenade with its award winning sandy beach, fine views and original seaside attractions.
