The property

Located within strolling distance of the capital's finest shops, restaurants and the train station in Edinburgh's cosmopolitan West End, this one-bedroom ground-floor flat represents the perfect city home in an exclusive location. Forming part of a traditional tenement building located in a conservation area, the appealing flat boasts a wealth of lovingly-retained period features, wonderfully bright and airy rooms and access to a leafy shared garden. Entered via a secure entry phone system and a well-kept communal entrance, the front door swings open to reveal a bright and welcoming hallway. Decorated in stylish grey tones enhanced by crispwhite accents, the hall gives a flavour of the immaculate interiors to follow. To the right of the hall is a bright and spacious open-plan living room and kitchen. With its soaring high ceiling adorned with intricate cornicing, this reception area exudes a wonderfully airy ambience and provides ample floor space for relaxation and dining furniture. Lit by twin traditional sash-and-case windows with working shutters and a delightful window seat, the room further benefits from useful built-in storage. The kitchen is fitted with a range of classically-styled clotted-cream coloured cabinets, framed by attractive wood-effect worktops and stylish grey mosaic splashback tiling.
