The property

Enviably situated in the New Town conservation area, this immaculate, two-bedroom, second-floor city flat forms part of a B-listed, Victorian, classical tenement, designed by renowned Scottish architect, John Chesser. The outstanding home offers a contemporary dining kitchen, a private study, a south-facing living room, and a modern bathroom, in addition to a prime location in the capital, close to thriving amenities and within easy reach of the St James Quarter and city centre. Accessed via a secure communal entrance and stairwell, the flat's front door opens into an L-shaped hall that sets the standards of the home, with its neutral decoration and solid oak floor. It provides a large walk-in cupboard and flows naturally into the living room, which continues the appealing décor. Here, a good-size footprint accommodates a choice of comfortable furnishings, creating a relaxed environment for everyday use. It has an Edinburgh Press and lavish cornice work, and is flooded in natural light from a south-facing window and a trio of curved windows, all framing delightful views of London Road Gardens. On the opposite side of the hall, the dining kitchen sports a Shaker-inspired design, fitted with white cabinets and wood-effect worktops. The understated palette is brightened by aquahued splashback tiles, whilst the smooth lines are enhanced by seamlessly integrated appliances (ceramic hob, eye-level double oven, fridge/ freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine). Complementing the layout is a large recess that is perfect for a dining table. Meanwhile, the two double bedrooms (one with rich cornicing) both benefit from crisp décor and soft carpeting, as well as south-facing aspects and oversized windows for an airy atmosphere. Furthermore, there is a good-size study for working from home. Finishing the property is a bright bathroom with a modern threepiece suite and overhead shower. Gas central heating provides year-round comfort, alongside traditional sash windows with magnetic secondary glazing. Outside, there is a communal rear garden that is laid to lawn and controlled parking is also conveniently available with a residents' permit (Zone N1).
