    About the property

    Enjoying classically-proportioned accommodation including two bedrooms, a large living room and dining kitchen, and a handy box room, plus access to a shared garden, this third-floor flat forms part of a traditional tenement in the city’s highly-desirable Bruntsfield district, within the Marchmont, Meadows and Bruntsfield conservation area. The flat benefits from a wealth of shops and cafes on the doorstep, as well as transport links, and lies a stone’s throw from Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows: a location that will no doubt appeal to professionals, couples, young families, and rental investors alike.

    A secure shared stairwell takes you to the flat’s front door on the third floor, which opens into a welcoming, high-ceilinged hall with useful built-in storage. Leading off the hall to the right and positioned to the front of the property is a living room. Fronted by a large bay window (with a traditional panelled surround), the generous reception room offers fantastic flexibility for various configurations of lounge furniture and features a modern fireplace flanked by an Edinburgh Press, whilst beautifully-detailed cornicing and a ceiling rose add a touch of period charm to the space. Along the hall, you will find a similarly-proportioned kitchen with ample space for a sociable seated dining area. A selection of wall and base cabinets are accompanied by workspace (including a breakfast bar) and splashback tiling, alongside an integrated oven, hob, and extractor hood, and a freestanding fridge, freezer, and washing machine. The kitchen is supplemented by a large walk-in cupboard.

    The flat accommodates two generously-proportioned double bedrooms. Both sleeping areas offer ample room for freestanding furniture and one benefits from a sunny rear-facing aspect. A box room accessed from both the hall and the living room provides a versatile space that could be used as a home office, reading room, hobby room, or as storage. Finally, a bathroom completes the accommodation and comprises a bath with an overhead shower, a pedestal basin, and a WC. The flat benefits from a gas central heating system (powered by a new boiler) and draught-proofed windows. Newly-installed smoke alarms meet recent legislation.

    Outside, a shared garden provides a sunny space in which to relax during the warmer months, whilst parking on Bruntsfield Avenue falls under Zone S3.
