The property

This traditional first-floor flat in Trinity incorporates four bedrooms, light and airy living spaces, two bathrooms, a blend of period features and contemporary interiors, plus access to a well-kept shared garden and unrestricted on-street parking. Perfectly presented throughout, the flat (which isn’t directly overlooked) and its location will no doubt appeal to families and commuting professionals as it lies under two miles from the city centre, and is a stone’s throw from the fashionable Shore district and the Water of Leith. Approached via a secure shared stairwell, the front door opens into an airy hallway with built-in storage and space for furniture. Giving a welcoming first impression, the hall is presented with pastel-toned walls, classic cornicing, and handsome pine flooring. To the left of the hall lies a generous living room. Here, neutral décor is accompanied by a rich-red accent wall, exquisite cornicing, a picture rail, tall skirting boards and neutral carpeting. Ample floor space is provided for a variety of furniture layouts, all arranged around a striking fireplace with a rustic multi-fuel log-burning stove, flanked by an Edinburgh Press. Southerly-facing sash-and-case windows, boasting a window seat with storage, framed by a panelled surround flood the room with natural light throughout the day. Across the hall, a spacious kitchen awaits. Incorporating space for a sociable dining area, the kitchen is fitted with a range of contemporary, gloss-white cabinets, accompanied by attractive wood-styled worktops and sleek white metro-tiled splashbacks, as well as integrated appliances. The adjoining utility room features further fitted cabinetry, wall-mounted shelved storage and appliances. The flat accommodates four bedrooms: two generous doubles and two good-sized singles, all of which are tastefully presented with attractive décor, original cornicing, and fitted carpeting. The double bedrooms both feature handsome period fireplaces and the master has the added luxury of its own en-suite shower room. Finally, the airy family bathroom comes complete with a modern P-shaped bathtub with an overhead shower and a curved, glazed screen, a pedestal basin, a toilet, and a chrome towel radiator. The property boasts gas central heating, double-glazed sash-and-case windows, shared access to a well-kept rear garden, a private cellar and parking on Summerside Street. The leafy suburb of Trinity, with its beautiful period villas and large parks, is one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after residential areas. The immediate area provides a good range of amenities including independent retailers, a historic library, a post office, chemist, cafés, restaurants, pubs and take-aways. Trinity Primary and Trinity Academy are both highly acclaimed state schools and within walking distance from the property. Home Report: £350,000. EPC Band:D.
