The property

4TH FEBRUARY AT 12 NOON. With great character, this charming second floor forms part of a unique late Georgian stone tenement (Listed Category B) entered via an arched cobbled pend. It is a proven starter flat and Buy-to-Let investment being located within Edinburgh’s premier University district. The property dates back to 1835 and retains several period features including an original marble fireplace, working shutters, cornicing, sanded floors, sash-and-casement windows and wide panelled doors. The generously proportioned accommodation (70 sqm) could easily be utilised as a two-bedroomed flat if required and offers potential for further upgrading. It currently provides an elegant two-windowed sitting/dining room (potentially a master bedroom), fitted kitchen/living room, large double bedroom, toilet compartment (with modern white W.C. and hand basin) and a separate upgraded shower room. Gas central heating is operated by a newly installed combi boiler and there is a fuel-effect gas fire. Right beside the National Library of Scotland, Wight’s Place lies in the very heart of popular Newington which is only 1.5 miles from Princes Street and Waverley Rail Station. The King’s Building’s, George Square and Edinburgh’s College of Art are all readily accessible. This historic area neighbourhood offers numerous restaurants to suit all budgets, character pubs, modern wine bars, coffee shops, wine merchants, book shops and a choice of metro-style supermarkets. Tennis courts, cycle tracks, gyms, swimming pools, several theatres, cinemas plus the grassy open recreational areas of The Meadows, Bruntsfield Links and Holyrood Park are close by. The flat has its own allocated external store cupboard suitable for the storage of bicycles etc. There is a walled communal garden to the rear and the district is zoned for resident’s parking with permits available from Edinburgh City Council. The floor coverings, gas hob, cooker and fridge are included in the sale price. Other items of furniture are also available.
