    About the property

    **UNDER OFFER** Quietly situated on Oxford Street, which runs parallel with bustling Clerk Street in popular Newington, this two bedroom second floor tenement flat offers a charming city home characterised by generous proportions, classic features and scenic views of Arthur’s Seat. 

    A secure entry-phone system allows access to the well-kept communal entrance with a traditional staircase winding up to the second floor. The front door opens into an L-shaped entrance hall, which benefits from excellent natural light courtesy of high transom windows. Positioned at the front of the flat, the outstanding living room enjoys a handsome southwest-facing window overlooking the tranquil street. The room is brimming with beautiful period features, namely refinished floorboards, intricate cornicing and an open Edinburgh Press. At the heart of the room is a classic timber and marble feature fireplace, which has retained an original service bell. The good-sized internal kitchen adjacent is fitted with ample storage and workspace, and offers room for appliances. Both rear-facing double bedrooms enjoy a leafy outlook over the communal garden, and flexible space for an assortment of furniture. The main bedroom boasts two built-in cupboards and views of Arthur’s Seat; the second refinished floorboards and an open Edinburgh Press. Completing the accommodation is the two-piece bathroom, comprising an electric shower-over-bath and a pedestal basin, which is supplemented by separate two-piece WC. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazed timber-frame sash-and-case windows, access to a large shared garden to the rear, which is fully enclosed and boasts a substantial drying green, and a selection of mature shrubs and trees and residents’ on-street permit parking (Zone 7) directly adjacent.

    Newington is regarded as one of the most favoured and sought after residential neighbourhoods in Edinburgh, just south of the City Centre. Both the University of Edinburgh King’s Buildings complex and the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary are close by. Leisure and recreational amenities are plentiful with The Meadows, Arthur’s Seat, the Royal Commonwealth Pool and leisure complex, several golf courses and the wide open spaces of Holyrood Park nearby.
