The property

Ideal for downsizers, first-time buyers, young families, and commuting professionals, this two-bedroom ground-floor flat has opportunity for modernisation, boasting an excellent location in popular Granton, within walking distance of local amenities, supermarkets, and the waterfront of the Firth of Forth. Set back from the road, a secure communal entrance leads to the flat’s front door, which opens into an L-shaped hall with built-in storage. Timber-effect flooring flows from here and throughout much of the home, moving directly ahead into the living/dining room. An electric fire with mahogany-style mantelpiece frames this room, providing warmth and cosiness during the winter months, whilst French doors with sidelights bathe the area in natural light, opening out onto the private front garden. It is a spacious room, offering ample floor space for relaxed furniture and a small family dining table. Via sliding door, the adjacent kitchen comes fitted with crisp white cabinets (including matching splashback tiles) and black granite-effect worktops. With access to the rear garden, this well-appointed space also includes: a gas cooker, a freestanding fridge-freezer, and an undercounter washing machine. Two bedrooms sit either side of the hall by the entrance. The first bedroom is a good-sized double room with a feature wall, whilst the second bedroom is a comfortable single with a desirable south-facing aspect, which would also make an ideal home office, if required. A bright three-piece wet room finishes the home. Gas central heating and double glazing throughout ensure year round comfort and efficiency. The flat boasts a private front garden with a manicured lawn and a well-tended communal rear garden with a drying area and a private shed. There is also ample, unrestricted on-street parking to the home’s front.
