The property

Sold Stc. Situated in popular Gorgie, this outstanding second-floor flat offers a unique opportunity to own a quarter share of a desirable, modern urban residence. Part of a contemporary development, it boasts two bedrooms, open-plan living, and appealing interior design, in addition to a private balcony with river views and convenient residents’ parking. The remaining 75% of the property is owned by Dunedin Canmore, for which a monthly rental of approximately £346 is payable. This superb flat is accessed via a secure communal entrance and by a stairway or handy elevator. The front door opens into a sizeable reception hall, with two large storage cupboards. Here, soft toned, neutral décor, with white accents and pale, wood-finished doors, sets the scene for the attractive interiors to follow. A timber-style floor leads you into the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room, which is a bright and airy space with a neutral palette and a sophisticated design for modern lifestyles. It has ample room for a configuration of comfortable seating, and is fronted by oversized windows, enhancing the tranquil ambience. Patio doors open onto a large covered balcony, providing a wonderful area for outdoor entertaining and for enjoying the magical Water of Leith with a sunset. The modern kitchen is set along one wall of the room and continues the natural theme, with a sweep of timber-inspired cabinets and contrasting granite-style worktops. Ample cooking and storage space neatly includes a freestanding cooker, washing machine, and tall fridge-freezer. This well-designed apartment includes a generous double and a large single bedroom. The double bedroom also benefits from a fitted wardrobe and dual aspect windows, whilst the single (also with useful fitted storage) is a versatile space for alternative use as a home office. Finally, the pristine bathroom comes complete with a three-piece suite and overhead shower. The property enjoys efficient gas central heating and double glazing. Outside, this contemporary development is set within landscaped grounds, enjoying a wonderful setting alongside the Water of Leith, including nearby access to its idyllic river walkways. There is private residents’ parking conveniently adjacent to the building. Located approximately two miles southwest of the city centre, the popular suburb of Gorgie enjoys a charming small-town ambience with a fantastic range of local services and amenities. Bustling Gorgie Road is home to a vibrant selection of local shops, high street retailers and supermarkets with further shopping facilities available in neighbouring Dalry and Chesser. Beloved for its diverse social scene, Gorgie boasts an organic mix of trendy bars and bistros, award-winning restaurants, and traditional pubs. Residents of Gorgie are also spoiled for choice when it comes to sport, leisure, and entertainment, with a number of gyms nearby, including Nuffield Health which also offers swimming facilities. For sports fans it is perhaps best known for Tynecastle Stadium (home to Heart of Midlothian F.C.) and for its proximity to Murrayfield Stadium. A cherished fixture in the community for more than 30 years, Gorgie City Farm promises fun for all the family with hands-on activities in farming, gardening, and handicrafts. Gorgie is within the catchment area for well-regarded Dalry Primary School and Tynecastle High School, and is also within easy reach of some of Edinburgh’s most prestigious independent schools.
