The property

A well presented first floor flat with two double bedrooms, a large dine-in kitchen and spacious separate sitting room, situated within the heart of highly desirable Morningside. Positioned on the first floor of a traditional, stone-built tenement and with a wealth of period features throughout, this tastefully decorated flat is in move-in condition. With sash & case double-glazing in both bedrooms, kitchen and sitting room, the property benefits from three large hallway storage cupboards, as well as a traditional 'Edinburgh Press' and a well maintained shared garden. Morningside offers excellent public transport links into the centre as well as an array of upmarket local cafes, boutiques and eateries, alongside other necessary amenities such as a Health Food Store, supermarkets (Waitrose, Sainsburys, M&S Simply Food), banks and pharmacies. The property is approached off a well-kept shared stairwell with a secure entry-phone system. The front door opens onto a wide hallway featuring original floorboards. The master bedroom is situated at the front of the property, and benefits from a small bay window as well as tiled original fireplace, dimmer light switch and recently installed timber sash & case double glazing. The spacious, light-filled sitting room also sits to the front of the property and enjoys a large bay window, original fireplace, cornicing, Edinburgh Press and double glazing. Unusually for this part of town, the sitting room has an open aspect to trees over the old Post Office building. The second bedroom overlooks the well maintained shared garden and is another good-sized double with original fireplace, recently installed timber sash & case double glazing and dimmer light switch. The striking bathroom has a full sized bath with feature dragon taps, rainfall shower, a copper basin sink and tiled floor. The larger than usual dine-in fully fitted kitchen brings a real sense of character to the property and represents an ideal setting for everyday dining and relaxed entertaining. As well as an integrated induction hob, double oven, dishwasher, full-length fitted fridge and full-length fitted freezer, it showcases a solid iroko wood worksurface and feature spotlights. Taking advantage of the high period ceilings, it also boasts a traditional pulley and recently installed timber sash & cash double glazing. The combi-boiler is discreetly tucked away in a cupboard, and the kitchen also benefits from a large storage pantry, plumbed for a washing machine.
