    About the property

    SOLD - SUBJECT TO CONCLUSION OF MISSIVES  

    This beautifully presented, one bedroom, first floor tenement flat is situated in the desirable city district of Polwarth, and presents with tasteful, neutral décor blended with an array of characterful original features. The rear-facing property boasts a sunny, south easterly aspect over-looking the canal and benefits from direct access to a shared rear garden.

    Approached via a secure entry-phone system and a shared stairwell to the first floor, the flat’s front door opens into an airy, high-ceilinged hall with handy built-in cupboard. Setting the tone for the tasteful interiors to follow, the hall is presented with neutral décor and handsome solid wood flooring which runs throughout the property. On your right, you step into the very heart of the home, the open-plan kitchen and living area, which offers ample space for lounge and dining furniture with the feature of an Edinburgh Press providing fitted shelving. The adjoining kitchen, visually separated from the reception area by a large breakfast bar counter, is fitted with a selection of modern wall and base cabinets, framed by a spacious, oak-styled worktop. A large utility cupboard offers generous additional space for further appliances and plenty of general storage. Across the hall, a generous double bedroom awaits. Echoing the understated finish of the rest of the property and featuring classic cornicing, the bedroom promises flexibility for various furniture layouts. A lovely original cast iron fireplace and an Edinburgh Press add a touch of period charm to the space. Finally, an immaculate bathroom completes the accommodation. The bathroom comprises a bathtub with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a Burlington traditional-style basin and toilet and Victorian style flooring. The flat is heated by way of a high-end new electric wall-mounted radiators and benefits from double-glazed windows throughout. Externally, the flat has access to a shared rear garden and drying area. Controlled parking on Watson Crescent and in the vicinity falls under Zone S4. 

    Positioned approximately two miles south-west of the city centre, the popular district of Polwarth enjoys the best of both worlds: a tranquil yet central canal-side setting with fantastic local amenities in every direction. Polwarth is just minutes’ walk from bustling Bruntsfield Place, which is home to an array of independent shops and high-street retailers, a thriving café culture and award-winning pubs, restaurants and eateries. The sights and attractions of the city centre are just a 25 minute walk away. Polwarth is served by excellent bus links travelling across the city and beyond, and also offers swift and easy road access to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport and the M8/M9 motorway network.
