The property
Requiring modernisation but with bags of potential this MAIN DOOR FLAT and enjoys an enviable location opposite Arthurs Seat. Edinburgh's city centre is just 10 minutes and Holyrood Park …a mere 2 min' walk. Entrance from sunny front garden to Hall; Living room; Kitchenette off, 2 Bedroom & Bathroom. Cellar. Free on-street Parking; D. Glazing & Gas Central Heating. * Lovely, shared rear gardens. Royal Park Terrace is the road running alongside Holyrood Park. This section of the thoroughfare is particularly appealing as it is opposite Arthur's Seat and comprises similar traditional stone tenements where residents' are lucky enough to have a wide selection of amenities, literally "on the doorstep". The city centre is only 1.5 miles and this factor undoubtedly contributes to the area's desirability. There are excellent local shops & regular bus routes; in addition, there is a choice of supermarkets close-by and motorists can quickly access the by-pass via the A1 leading on to the main road network in and out of Edinburgh. Leisure is particularly well catered for in Meadowbank with the Leisure Centre of that name, The Royal Commonwealth Pool (through Holyrood Park); several golf courses and of course the many lovely walks on and around neighbouring Arthurs Seat. Even Portobello and its promenade, beach & shopping is only 1.5 miles east. Part of a traditional row of stone-built tenements this is a MAIN DOOR FLAT now requiring upgrading. Indeed, there is even development potential with this being one of those rare properties in Edinburgh with a substantial cellar. However, that is not a necessary change; it would be costly. Potential buyers should note the scope to keep two bedrooms but by re-positioning the kitchen to a central location off the hall, there is space for a much more viable kitchen. (Subject to LA permissions). In recent times, properties in Royal Park Terrace have shown excellent growth in values with the regeneration of the Meadowbank Stadium and more people looking to enjoy the outdoor life (Arthur's Seat & Holyrood Park opposite), the expectation is for that to continue. Shrewd investors will also doubtless notice this and the lovely location so close to many of Edinburgh's main tourist attractions.
