    About the property

    SOLD

    73/5 Comely Bank Road offers fabulous accommodation, beautifully presented and finished to a high standard throughout. With the added bonus of an exceptionally large attic space (with permitted planning to convert), this truly is a must-see property, perfect for the professional couple, as well as the growing family. 

    The property is on the top floor of a communal stairwell (with secure entry phone system), which has been recently-redecorated. On entering the flat, stripped pine flooring and neutral decor sets the tone for the accommodation to follow. Accessed via sliding doors from the hall, the kitchen openly adjoins a vast living/dining room. The kitchen is fitted with classic panelled cabinets with decorative handles, stainless-steel splashbacks and a granite worktop. Further equipping the space is useful built-in storage (with space for appliances) and space for a freestanding cooker. Stepping into the expansive living room, which is currently utilised as a dining room, the home’s period charm is instantly apparent with an impressive bay window framing views over the neighbourhood, towards Fettes College. Intricate cornicing trims the high ceiling and at the focal point of the room is a handsome fireplace (with capped gas connection). Next door, the generous master bedroom has been arranged as a homely living room.

    The flat boasts two further double bedrooms, both flooded in natural light courtesy of southerly-facing windows. Completing this level of accommodation is the bathroom replete with underfloor heating, a WC-suite and a roll-top bathtub with an overhead shower. Finally, a handcrafted wooden stairway (electronically retractable) from the hall provides access to the aforementioned fully-insulated attic space. Currently used as an open-plan double bedroom & study area, the conversion plans include 57sq metres of open-plan liveable space incorporating large garden-facing balcony windows (with views of Edinburgh Castle) and a second bathroom. 

    The property benefits from an efficient gas central heating, recently-installed Slimlite low emissivity double-glazing, access to a south-facing shared garden, a private summer house and on-street parking (Zone N3).

    Stockbridge offers an ideal location just a 15-minute walk from the city centre. The bustling village boasts a wealth of amenities including boutiques, art galleries, independent shops, bookshops, renowned cheese mongers and much more. A fantastic selection of fashionable cafés, restaurants and pubs line the main street and a large Waitrose. The Stockbridge market, held every Sunday at Jubilee Gardens, offers fresh produce and artisan crafts from independent traders. Outdoor pursuits include Inverleith Park and the Royal Botanic gardens, and the Water of Leith walkway. Schooling is available from primary to secondary level, with both state and private schooling within easy reach. Stockbridge is well-served by regular bus services to the city centre and beyond and Waverley train station is within walking distance for easy commuting.
