2 bed top floor flat for sale in Newington

A wonderfully bright and spacious top floor traditional tenement flat enjoying an outlook towards the top of Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags, peacefully located on a residential street in close proximity to Edinburgh University, the city centre and Holyrood Park. Situated on the third (top) floor of a well-maintained traditional tenement with a secure entry system, this property enjoys the generous proportions and impressive ceiling heights for which Edinburgh’s period flats are renowned. While the property would now benefit from some modernisation, it offers well-proportioned and flexible accommodation. The layout can be configured either as a spacious one-bedroom flat or as a two-bedroom property with an open-plan kitchen and reception room, further enhanced by a large box room. Several neighbouring top-floor tenements on Oxford Street have obtained permission to convert attic spaces into additional living accommodation, presenting a similar opportunity for this property, subject to the usual permissions and consents. The accommodation briefly comprises: an entrance hallway with three large storage cupboards; a spacious open-plan kitchen and reception room with ample built-in storage and a large walk-in pantry; a generous double bedroom to the rear enjoying a peaceful outlook; a second double bedroom to the front (or alternative living room) featuring a window to the street, fireplace and traditional Edinburgh press; a large box room, ideal as a home office or occasional guest bedroom; and a bathroom fitted with a white suite and electric instant over-bath shower. Further benefits include gas central heating and full modern uPVC double glazing. A shared garden/drying green is located to the rear of the property, with resident permit holder parking available on the street to the front. This property has been virtually staged to illustrate how the rooms may look when furnished and to demonstrate possible layout options. Please note that the property is currently empty, as shown in the accompanying “before” images, which have also been provided for reference. Council Tax Band - D
