This exceptional two-bedroom (plus box room) main-door Victorian garden flat boasts generously proportioned accommodation, with appealing interiors and characterful period features, plus a delightful, shared suntrap garden. Conveniently located for the city centre and Leith, it furthermore enjoys an enviable end of terrace setting, with unrestricted parking and an open outlook over Letham Park. Privately situated behind a gated front garden, the front door leads, via a welcoming vestibule, into the large central reception hall. Setting the tone for the appealing interiors to follow, soft toned neutral décor contrasts beautifully with a warm, timber floor, natural-wood architraves and panelled doors. To the front, the elegant living room is fronted by a deep bay window, drawing in abundant natural light and framing the leafy outlook. A decorative cornice blends with soft neutral décor and a striking green feature wall, whilst a contemporary fireplace provides a cosy focal point within this spacious reception room. The traditionally styled dining kitchen enjoys a sunny rear-garden outlook. The U-shaped sweep of white fitted cabinets, with a contrasting black worktop, incorporates space for a cooker, washing machine and fridge freezer. This sociable space, perfect for everyday meals and entertaining, boasts ample room for a dining table and additional furniture, with further storage within a larder cupboard. A generous double and a single bedroom each continue the warm, neutral décor and natural timber flooring, with decorative cornicing, and a charming period fireplace in bedroom two. Double bedroom one offers ample space for freestanding furniture. Sunny single bedroom two (enjoying an outlook over Letham Park) also benefits from a fitted wardrobe, and under-window storage, and is alternatively an ideal private study. Accessed off the hall, with borrowed natural light from the adjoining bedroom, a versatile boxroom provides further storage, and is an alternative cosy workspace. Finally, the pristine, fully tiled family bathroom comes complete with a modern WC-suite and a bath with a shower-over. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure a year-round warm living environment. To the front is a paved, ornamental garden, and unrestricted on-street parking. There is also access to a south-facing communal garden. This suntrap space enjoys an open aspect, and has been beautifully landscaped with a lawn, patio and colourful borders, to create an exceptional outdoor city haven.
