The property

A lovely example of a traditional lower colony flat that forms part of the Shandon Conservation Area. The property retains many fine original period features such as beautiful ornate cornicing and natural wood floors and would be perfect for a first time buyer or someone looking to downsize. The accommodation which is in walk-in condition throughout consists of an entrance vestibule with original tiled floor, hallway with natural wood floors, charming bay windowed living room with working shutters, beautiful marble surround fireplace and ornate cornicing. A beautifully finished kitchen with an electric hob and oven, integrated appliances and ample storage in a large pantry cupboard. There is also a very useful utility room off the kitchen with additional storage and access to the rear garden. There are two double bedrooms both with working shutters, a stylish bathroom fitted with a three-piece suite and mains shower over the bath. There is gas central heating and double glazing throughout. A paved private front garden and a well kept back garden ensure somewhere to find the sun all day. Free on-street parking. Shandon is approximately 1.5 miles from the city centre which can be accessed via a frequent public transport service that runs close by, or a picturesque walk along the Union Canal. The bypass is a short drive away and leads to the Airport and central belt motorway network. The area is served by both public and private schools that include the popular Craiglockhart Primary and George Watsons College. Shopping facilities include a Waitrose, Sainsbury's, 24hr ASDA and the Edinburgh West Retail Park. Recreational facilities include Harrison Park, the Union Canal, Fountain Park Leisure Complex and a number of popular bars and restaurants in close by Morningside and Bruntsfield.
