12/7 West Savile Terrace, Edinburgh, EH9 3DZ

The property

Part of a handsome sandstone tenement, 12/7 West Savile Terrace is brimming with period charm and original features and offers fantastic, spacious accommodation in a sought-after, central location. Approached off a well-kept communal stairwell with secure entry-phone system, this top/third floor flat's front door opens into a welcoming hallway with useful cupboard and ample space for hall furniture. The front facing living room is bathed in light from a bay window, which yields views towards Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags. At the focal point of the room is a living-flame gas fire set within a traditional oak and tiled surround, and to the right of the fireplace is an Edinburgh Press. Further storage is provided in the adjoining box room, which borrows natural light from the dining kitchen and benefits from fitted shelving. The bright and spacious dining kitchen to the rear is the heart of the home and is complete with an original feature fireplace. The kitchen is fitted with painted in-frame units with solid oak worktops and delicate blue-and-white tiles. The cabinets conceal a wealth of storage and accommodate a range of appliances. A good-sized pantry cupboard houses the boiler and additional storage, whilst a separate utility room is equipped with a utility sink and offers scope for further freestanding appliances. Returning to the hall, the property boasts two bright and spacious double bedrooms: the principal bedroom to the front features a press cupboard and the same magnificent views towards Arthur's Seat and Salisbury Crags, while the second enjoys a generous built-in cupboard and a tranquil southeasterly aspect overlooking the rear garden. Completing the accommodation is the light and airy three-piece bathroom. Further benefits include gas central heating and double-glazing; access to a south-facing communal garden/drying green; and ample, unrestricted parking on West Savile Terrace.
