**SOLD STC**
Set within the established residential suburb of Craigentinny, this traditional upper flat enjoys excellent local amenities, first-class transport links into the city centre, and close proximity to Portobello’s iconic promenade and beachfront.
Boasting delightful original features and sympathetic modern upgrades, this spacious period property offers three/two double bedrooms and one/two reception rooms, plus a shared rear garden and a private single garage, altogether representing an excellent city home within a well-connected popular district.
Accessed from a shared, mosaic-tiled vestibule, a staircase rises up underneath a feature skylight, to a high-ceilinged, central reception hall. Enhanced by original timber-panelled doors and supplemented by handy built-in storage, the welcoming area flows into a living room on the right. Enviably south-facing and flooded with dual-aspect light, this classically-proportioned reception room boasts period grandeur, with a wood-panelled bay window, a splendid original fireplace, and a traditional Edinburgh Press, all heightened by elaborate cornicing and stripped timber floorboards. Next door, enjoying a similar sunny aspect, a versatile room promises a delightful setting for formal dining and entertaining or, alternatively, it can be utilised as an additional double bedroom. Appointed with understated, soft-toned cabinetry and solid timber worktops, the kitchen boasts a charming window seat for breakfasting and morning coffee. A traditional clothes pulley and a range of appliances are included (integrated oven, five-burner gas hob, and extractor hood, as well as a freestanding fridge/freezer and a washing machine).
Set peacefully to the rear of the property, and carpeted for optimal comfort, two double bedrooms (one with a traditional press) promise generous settings for freestanding bedroom or home office furnishings. Finally, a classically-styled bathroom features a bathtub with an overhead shower, a WC, a pedestal washbasin, and a chrome ladderstyle radiator. The flat has double glazing throughout and efficient gas central heating, powered by a boiler installed one year ago. Externally, the paved rear garden (shared with the lower flat) is fully enclosed and perfect for summer barbecues. A private single garage provides secure parking, in addition to unrestricted on-street parking.
Lying north-east of Edinburgh, the suburb of Craigentinny is located less than three miles from the city centre and neighbours the seaside town of Portobello, with its much-loved sandy seafront. The area is in easy reach of numerous well-stocked shopping areas, including Meadowbank Shopping Park, with a large supermarket and an array of other high-street retail outlets, and Portobello’s delightful selection of independent shops, cafes and eateries, also home to a supermarket. In addition to its enviable coastal location, offering a wonderfully scenic setting for outdoor recreation, superb indoor sports can be found at a number of nearby swimming pools and gyms, whilst Craigentinny Golf Course will no doubt appeal to golf enthusiasts.
