The property

**SOLD STC* Enviably located in the Marchmont conservation area at the end of a peaceful cul-de-sac by The Meadows, this charming, one-bedroom, third/top-floor flat represents a perfect opportunity for city professionals, first-time buyers, and buy-to-let investors. Part of a traditional tenement with a communal garden, the home offers a good-size living/dining room, a galley-style kitchen, and a three-piece bathroom, further benefitting from largely neutral interiors for new buyers to add their own stamp. Inside the flat, reached by a telephone-entry system and a shared stairwell, you are welcomed by a naturally-lit hall, defined by white décor and stripped floorboards that flow throughout much of the home. To the right is the living/dining room, which continues the neutral presentation to allow easy styling. It features an exquisite feature fireplace for arranging furniture around and stylish shelved archways with storage set below. A southerly-facing window finishes the room, bathing it in natural light. In the galley-style kitchen, there are ample cabinets for storage and marble-effect worktops, including a handy breakfast bar for morning coffee. It comes with a gas cooker, an undercounter washing machine, and a freestanding fridge. Meanwhile, the double bedroom enjoys a subtle accent wall and a southwest-facing aspect, creating a calming ambience for a good night’s sleep. It is a good-size space and comes with open wardrobe fixtures built in. Completing the accommodation is a partially tiled, three-piece bathroom with a shower-over-bath. Efficient gas central heating and double-glazed windows ensure year-round warmth. Outside, there is a communal rear garden with a shared drying green and a well-tended lawn. Conveniently, residents also have access to controlled permit parking (Zone 7).
