The property

Desirably located in Roseburn, much loved for its local park and proximity to the scenic Water of Leith, this three-bedroom first-floor flat also enjoys swift access to Edinburgh city centre, Haymarket train station and the tramline. Set within a classic Edwardian tenement offering its residents access to a vast south-facing communal garden, the flat boasts airy high ceiling rooms presented with a delightful blend of authentic features and sophisticated contemporary finishes. Reached via a secure communal stairwell, the front door opens into a wonderfully spacious hall. Incorporating a useful storage cupboard and decorated in light modern grey, this well-presented entrance area promises a welcoming first impression with warmly toned natural wood features including stripped pine flooring which flows into the home’s reception area. Generously sized, with space for lounge and dining furniture, the reception area is elegantly finished with delicately-detailed wallpaper, a picture rail and intricate ceiling cornicing. Further characterful details include a panelled window surround, a traditional Edinburgh Press and a period inspired fireplace with a coal effect fire and an exquisite tiled insert. Next door, a stylish kitchen is fitted with sleek white cabinetry paired with wood-styled worktops, ambient downlighting and colourful metro wall tiles. An oven, a gas hob, a dishwsher and a fridge are neatly integrated into the space, whilst a washer/ dryer and a freezer are housed within one of the bedrooms, currently utilised as a dining room. The flat’s three generous double bedrooms are perfectly presented with neutral décor and plush fitted carpeting, with two rooms retaining their classic cornicing detail. The bedrooms, quietly located to the rear of the property, are further supplemented by a sunny southerly-facing aspect. Finally, a three-piece bathroom completes the accommodation. The property benefits from gas central heating, double glazing, a substantial, neatly lawned communal garden and on-street parking. Roseburn is a most desirable residential district, approximately one and a half miles west of the City Centre. The area is highly regarded for its leafy ambience and, of course its proximity to Murrayfield Stadium, the home of Scottish Rugby.
