The property

We are delighted to bring to the market this charming, one-bedroom, main door colony flat has a fantastic location in the extremely sought-after Stockbridge district of Edinburgh. A stone's throw from the heart of this vibrant high street with its array of independent shops, cafés and restaurants and yet set in a peaceful cobbled street close to the Water of Leith. There is a private front garden, beautifully planted with a seating area. There is an entrance vestibule, hallway and a large double bedroom overlooking the front garden with a fireplace, working shutters and a window seat. The lounge has a fireplace with gas stove, a window seat and space for dining and door leads through to the kitchen. The kitchen has been cleverly designed to utilise the space and has working shutters. There is also a modern shower room. Hugh Miller Place is located in the much sought after Stockbridge which offers an ideal location just a 15-minute walk from the city centre. The bustling and unique village atmosphere offers a wealth of amenities including chic boutiques, art galleries, independent shops, bookshops, renowned cheese mongers, fish mongers and a butcher. A fantastic selection of fashionable cafés, restaurants, and pubs line the street, each giving the area character and the individual flair it is renowned for. A large Waitrose supermarket is conveniently situated nearby. The Stockbridge market, held every Sunday at Jubilee Gardens, boasts fresh produce and artisan crafts from independent traders. Nearby Craigleith Retail Park offers more extensive shopping with a wide variety of High Street stores. Enjoying the outdoors could not be more inviting, with Inverleith Park and the colourful Royal Botanic gardens all close by – an oasis of green making it seem almost impossible to be so close to the city centre. A leisurely stroll or cycle along the beautiful Water of Leith walkway makes the perfect escape from the day’s hustle and bustle. For a vintage treat, the Glenogle swim centre offers beautifully restored Victorian swimming baths, a state-of-the-art gym and fitness classes. In addition, the area benefits from outstanding schooling in both the private and state sector including Stockbridge Primary, Broughton High, George Heriots, Fettes College and Edinburgh Academy, among others. Stockbridge is well-served by regular bus services to the city centre and beyond and Waverley train station is within walking distance for easy commuting.
