1 bed fourth floor flat for sale in Old Town

Property highlight: A beautiful fourth-floor city flat

With a highly enviable city centre location, this one-bedroom (plus study) fourth floor flat forms part of Edinburgh's prestigious Old Town conservation area and World Heritage Site. Providing easy access to all the city centre offers, it is set within a beautiful B-listed Victorian building with a sandstone façade and Scots Baronial detailing. The home further boasts the spaciousness expected of Victorian architecture, alongside elegant interior design and a host of period features. It has the added advantage of a well-appointed dining kitchen, a quality bathroom, and a private cellar. Plus, it has iconic views of some of Edinburgh's best-loved monuments. Accessed via a shared entrance and a carefully maintained traditional stairway with a cupola allowing ample natural light, the flat's front door opens into a hall where crisp white décor is contrasted by the warm glow of wooden floorboards and four-panel doors. It offers storage and flows right into the living room. Here, olive tones and white detailing create a sophisticated look that is sympathetic to the home's historic character and period features. Detailed cornice work adds texture to the high ceiling, while a handsome feature fireplace (beside a shelved recess) forms an eye-catching focal point for arranging the space. Finally, twin windows frame a most impressive view of the A-listed St Andrew's House, capturing its Classical Art Deco architecture and the listed monuments of Calton Hill – a stunning backdrop to admire. Just off the living area is a useful study for working from home or further storage. Meanwhile, the southwest-facing dining kitchen has a warm colour palette, paired with wood-toned worktops and cabinets. It benefits from a press and a pantry cupboard, as well as a sizeable alcove for housing a table and chairs. The king bedroom faces the southwest as well, boasting a delightful garden view that incorporates the surrounding listed buildings, and the back of the Scottish Storytelling Centre and John Knox House. Finished in neutral hues, this bedroom has an elegant aesthetic and a spacious footprint. A modern three-piece bathroom with premium tiling completes the accommodation. The home also has a private cellar that is naturally lit, offering space for storage and creative potential. Outside, there is an enclosed communal garden and controlled permit parking (Zone 3). Extras: a SMEG gas range cooker, a fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher, and a washing machine to be included in the sale. Please note, no warranties or guarantees shall be provided in relation to any of the services, moveables, and/or appliances included in the price, as these items are to be left in a sold as seen condition.
