The property

With an excellent central location, 10/1 Viewforth Square is situated in an enviable position between Fountainbridge and Bruntsfield, putting the thriving amenities of both fashionable areas in easy reach. Approached via a shared stairwell (with a secure entry phone system) to the first floor, the flat’s front door opens into a high-ceilinged hall with built-in storage cupboard. Leading off the hall and situated to the front of the property is an impressive living room. Extended by a large west-facing bay window, the living room offers fantastic flexibility for furniture configurations, all arranged around a striking original period fireplace. Further period features of the room include cornicing, ceiling rose, a panelled window surround, pine flooring and an Edinburgh Press with display shelving and hidden storage. A box room leading off the living room would make an excellent study space or storage. At the opposite end of the hall, an equally generous kitchen awaits. The kitchen is fitted with classically-styled wall and base cabinets accompanied by spacious worktops (including a handy breakfast bar), and a selection of freestanding goods. A large recess provides the perfect space for a seated dining area, and at the focal point of the room is a characterful original range. The kitchen also features a charming window seat, a clothes pulley and a large storage cupboard. An adjoining utility room houses further fitted cabinetry and a washing machine. The flat’s bright and spacious double bedroom enjoys the same sunny aspect as the living room, boasting a spacious double sliding mirror-door wardrobe. Finally, an airy bathroom completes the accommodation. The property is heated by gas central heating system. Outside, the flat enjoys access to a shared rear garden. Controlled parking on Viewforth Square and in the vicinity falls under Zone 8. Viewforth is only a mile from Edinburgh city centre and is within walking distance of Haymarket train station.
