The property

A stunning blend of period charm and Scandinavian chic, this two-bedroom ground floor tenement flat in desirable Marchmont represents a stunning home for young families, professionals and downsizers alike. Its classic proportions and natural light are effortlessly enhanced by minimalist décor, which promises an immaculate blank canvas to suit endless styles and configurations. In addition to direct access to the communal rear garden, the ground floor property also boasts a private west-facing front garden, which is fully enclosed and landscaped for easy maintenance. Nestled on tree-lined Gladstone Terrace and just a stone's throw from The Meadows, the property is accessed via a secure shared entrance and a well-maintained stairwell. As you step into the entrance hall, crisp white walls paired with soft grey carpets instantly create a stylish and homely ambience. To the left, west-facing living room is flooded with natural light from a pair of reproduction timber-framed sash-and-case windows, which have retained their original shutters. An ideal setting for everyday life and entertaining, the generous space easily accommodates a comfortable sitting area and a convivial dining area, and flows into the bijou internal kitchen. Here gloss-white cabinetry and timber-effect worktops provide ample storage and workspace, and house a full complement of integrated appliances, including: a four-burner gas hob, an electric single oven/grill, a dishwasher, a washing machine and a fridge/freezer. Both bedrooms enjoy a tranquil rear-facing aspect overlooking the communal garden. The double bedroom offers flexible scope for an assortment of furniture, while the generous single bedroom (or home office) allows direct access to the shared rear garden. The three-piece bathroom is presented in gleaming white, and features a thermostatic shower-over-bath and a modern basin and toilet suite. The flat further benefits from two walk-in hall cupboards: one offers a fantastic cloakroom (or wardrobe) space and the other provides hidden household storage. Gas-fired central heating and double-glazed sash-and-case windows ensure year-round comfort and efficiency. The west-facing private garden to the front is fully enclosed and landscaped for minimal maintenance, currently comprising a sunny patio and a chipped area bound by herbaceous borders. The property also enjoys direct access to the communal rear garden, which is beautifully maintained by the residents and features a large patio and a vast lawn/drying green. Controlled residents' parking (Zone 7) and metered parking is available on Gladstone Terrace and in the vicinity.
