The property

Positioned on the top floor of a classic tenement in the desirable Inverleith conservation area, this two-bedroom corner-aspect flat offers an exceptionally bright home with stunning views across the city. Having retained a host of original features, including sash-and-case windows and decorative cornices, the period property is brimming with charm and character, and represents a wonderful proposition for city professionals and buy-to-let investors. The handsome stone-built tenement is accessed via a secure shared entrance and a traditional staircase winding up to the top floor. Welcoming you into the flat is a good-sized hall and to the right is the spacious and elegant living/dining room. Its splendid bay window is framed by classic panelling and yields magnificent rooftop views across Inverleith. In the sunny kitchen, walnut-stained cabinets topped with solid granite provide excellent hidden storage and workspace, and accommodate a selection of integrated appliances: a gas hob, an electric double oven and a washer dryer. Both double bedrooms boast excellent proportions and natural light, with plenty of space for an assortment of furniture. The rear-facing bedroom also benefits from a traditional press, which houses the gas-fired combi boiler. Completing the accommodation is the airy four-piece bathroom, which comprises a roll-top bath, a shower compartment, washbasin and a hidden-cistern toilet. Gas central heating ensures year round comfort and efficiency. Externally the property enjoys use of a southwest-facing shared garden to the rear and controlled parking (Zone N2) in the immediate vicinity. The flat is also just seconds' walk from the Water of Leith Walkway and the Royal Botanic Garden.
