1e Duddingston Park, Edinburgh, EH15 1JN

The property

Forming part of a B-listed former school building in the Duddingston area of the city, this main-door ground-floor flat offers wonderfully light and airy accommodation, consisting of two double bedrooms, a generous reception room, a breakfasting kitchen, and a four-piece bathroom. The flat boasts its own private garden and an allocated parking space. The private front door opens into an airy reception hall (with storage), giving the first glimpse of the interiors to follow with neutral décor and a wood-styled floor. On your right, you step into a kitchen, where space is provided for a breakfasting area and modern wood-styled cabinets are accompanied by worktops and splashback tiling. Integrated appliances comprise a double oven, a microwave, a hob, an extractor hood, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. A second hall accessed from the reception hall provides space for a study area and leads to the remaining accommodation. The living and dining room occupies a generous footprint, offering flexibility for configurations of lounge and dining furniture. Like the preceding accommodation, the reception room enjoys neutral décor and wood-styled flooring, enhanced by classic cornicing, a ceiling rose, and a dado rail. A fireplace adds further character to the room and creates a warming focal point. The flat's two double bedrooms are also wonderfully airy and presented with neutral décor, with fitted carpets ensuring optimum comfort underfoot. The sleeping areas are accompanied by built-in wardrobes with mirrored doors. A four-piece family bathroom (accessed from the hall and the principal bedroom) completes the accommodation on offer. The home is kept warm by an electric heating system and the windows are all double glazed. Externally, the flat is accompanied by a private front garden, with lawns and paved seating areas, and an allocated parking space. Nestled at the foot of majestic Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags, Duddingston offers a unique village setting, yet is just over two miles east of the city centre. With the vast open spaces of Holyrood Park and Duddingston Loch to the west, and the golden sands of Portobello Beach to the east, residents have some of the capital's most outstanding natural landscapes and views right on their doorstep. And of course there is no shortage of outdoor pursuits, from walking, cycling and hiking in Holyrood Park, to a round of golf at Duddingston Golf Club. The area is served by fantastic local services and amenities, particularly on nearby Portobello High Street, which is lined with an array of traditional shops and business, plus a handful of thriving cafes, pubs and restaurants. Popular with families looking for a more relaxed lifestyle (without leaving the city limits), Duddingston is within the catchment area for excellent local schools, and its close proximity to Edinburgh City Bypass and the A1 allows swift and convenient travel across the city and further afield. Nearby Brunstane train station and several bus routes also provide comprehensive public transport links, day and night. Tenure Freehold Council Tax
