The property

Located in the prestigious Comely Bank district, this traditional two-bedroom first-floor flat lies just a short stroll from the scenic green spaces of Inverleith Park, the Water of Leith and the Royal Botanic Gardens, as well as Stockbridge's delightful local shopping and entertainment amenities. Forming part of a handsome stone-built Victorian building and enjoying well-proportioned rooms, with high-ceilings, the flat retains an array of exquisite original features, including deep panelled window surrounds, stripped internal doors and original cornicing. Accessed via a secure entry phone system and a well-maintained stairwell, the flat welcomes you into a spacious hallway, offering access to excellent hidden storage, with a deep store cupboard and a box room. Leading off the hall and benefiting from the afternoon sun, is a generous living room featuring a large bay window and neutrally-toned décor, accompanied by plush carpeting and intricately-detailed cornicing. The room enjoys the inviting focal feature of an elegant Art Nouveau-style period fireplace, set into a wooden surround, and a charming recessed display shelving area, incorporating a handy store cupboard. Overlooking the leafy rear garden, the spacious dining kitchen creates a perfect space for cooking, dining and entertaining, with ample room for a seated dining area. Contemporary, but sympathetically classic in style, the kitchen features a superb collection of crisp white cabinets, an excellent amount of worktop space, a characterful recessed shelving area and a deep larder cupboard. The flat's two attractively-presented bedrooms are finished with lightly-toned decor and well-kept carpeting. Finally, a good-sized bathroom with attractive timber-effect flooring comprises a WC, a pedestal sink and a shower-over-bath. Further benefits included gas central heating, double glazing, access to a charming communal garden and on-street permit parking (Zone N3). Comely Bank and neighbouring Stockbridge offer a wealth of local amenities, including a variety of specialist shops, food outlets, cosmopolitan bars and restaurants, banking facilities and Post Office services. £320,000.
