2 bed first floor flat for sale in Tollcross

Spanning two floors, this bright and well-proportioned city centre apartment forms part of Lothian House, a distinctive B-listed Art Deco building dating from the 1930s. Converted into flats in the 1980s, the development offers an impressive range of resident facilities, including a swimming pool, steam room, sauna, gym, games room and lounge – amenities rarely found within an older Edinburgh property. Much loved by the current owner, the apartment has provided an excellent central home and is now ready for its next chapter. While requiring some upgrading, it offers an exciting opportunity to create a stylish and highly individual city centre residence. The large sitting room is accessed via steps leading down into the main living area and is flooded with natural light, creating a bright and airy space which flows through to the adjoining dining area. The open-plan arrangement provides a good sense of space and flexibility for both relaxing and entertaining. The galley-style kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base-mounted cabinetry incorporating a gas hob, double electric oven, microwave, washing machine and tumble dryer, together with a free-standing fridge/freezer. Also on this floor is a WC and two useful storage cupboards. Upstairs, there are two double bedrooms, both positioned to the rear of the property. One benefits from fitted wardrobes spanning one wall, while a further cupboard provides additional storage and houses the hot water tank. Overhead, there is also a loft space adding further storage options. The bathroom completes the accommodation. Further benefits include gas central heating, secure video entry and lift access. The basement level is home to an impressive range of high quality leisure facilities for residents, including a swimming pool, steam room, sauna, gym, games room, lounge area and quiet room, whilst a separate laundry room is located on the first floor. The Local Area Lothian House occupies a prime city centre position on Lothian Road, in Edinburgh's financial district. Just a short walk from Princes Street, the property is also well-located for access to the historic Old Town and prestigious West End.
