    About the property

    Boasting a prime city location in picturesque Restalrig, this traditional second-floor flat lies close to scenic parkland and excellent local amenities, whilst also enjoying swift access into the city centre. Representing a fabulous city home or a lucrative rental investment, the property offers versatile accommodation, including three double bedrooms and generous living space, and is accompanied by a shared rear garden and access to unrestricted on-street parking.

    Approached via a secure entry system and a stairwell to the second floor, the front door opens into a long entrance hall with two convenient cupboards. To the left of the hall, a living room enjoys elegant proportions, and is enhanced by smooth cornicing and a traditional fireplace, flanked by an Edinburgh Press. Flooded with natural light via a large southwest-facing window that yields far-reaching views to Arthur's Seat, this well-presented reception room promises a comfortable setting for everyday living. Across the hall, boasting another handsome fireplace and traditional press storage, is a versatile room that is currently arranged as a dining room, but could equally represent a third double bedroom, if desired. Conveniently next door, the kitchen also benefits from separate hall access. It features classic soft-toned cabinetry and incorporates a double oven, a gas hob, a statement extractor hood, a washing machine, and a freestanding fridge/freezer. Two individually-styled double bedrooms enjoy generous dimensions, whilst a bright good-sized bathroom houses a four-piece-suite. Gas central heating and double glazing are found throughout.

    Externally, the home is accompanied by a shared rear garden, with a handy drying green. On-street parking in the area is conveniently unrestricted.

    Extras: Included in the sale are all fitted floor coverings, light fittings, integrated kitchen appliances, and the fridge/freezer.

     

    Restalrig

    Enjoying an ultra-convenient location just two miles east of the city centre, picturesque Restalrig dates back to the 1100s when noble families dominated the district. Today, the historic area retains many of its ancient buildings and has become a popular residential setting with an excellent range of local shops and services. Further amenities can be found just a stone’s throw away, with a large supermarket on Portobello Road and a range of retailers at Meadowbank Retail Park. Fort Kinnaird and Ocean Terminal are also easy to access from Restalrig and offer high-street shops and restaurants, as well as multiplex cinemas. Meanwhile, for fashionable eateries and bustling bars, the vibrant districts of Leith and The Shore are within easy reach. Restalrig residents don’t have to go far to take in a little fresh air with Lochend Park offering a country-style park, complete with a children’s play area and café. Slightly further afield, Portobello boasts its famous seafront promenade, Holyrood Park provides a spectacular array of hills, glens, and lochs, and Arthur’s Seat enjoys panoramic city views. Golf enthusiasts will find Craigentinny Golf Course within the district and those who prefer indoor exercise can access a gym and fitness classes at Meadowbank Sports Centre once it reopens after extensive refurbishment, with excellent facilities available nearby in the meantime. Well-regarded schools fall within Restalrig’s catchment area, with the capital’s fine independent schools also easily accessible. Restalrig is well-connected with regular public transport and excellent road links in and out of the city, via the A1 and A199.
