The property

Set within Craiglockhart House, an exquisite B-Listed Georgian property lying close to the banks of the Water of Leith and accompanied by manicured communal gardens and residents' parking, this two-bedroom, two bathroom main-door apartment represents a superior period home for professionals, young families, and downsizers. In addition to its charming setting in desirable Craiglockhart, within easy reach of the city centre, the home enjoys sympathetic contemporary interiors, characterful features and a spectacular open-plan living area leading onto a private terrace. The front door opens into a spacious entrance hall (with cupboard storage) perfectly showcasing the home's impeccable, tasteful finish with muted décor, a cornicing detail, and stripped pine flooring. Leading off the hall is the open plan reception area and kitchen stretching the full depth of the property, with a tremendous footprint, and ideally designed for social gatherings with friends and family. This subtly-decorated room (with further decorative cornicing) incorporates a pine-floored reception area offering flexible space for comfortable seating, a bright window recess for seated dining, heightened by elegant feature wallpaper, and French doors providing patio access. This sunny southerly-facing area (with built-in storage) further benefits from several dual-aspect windows, whilst the kitchen boasts wall-to-wall windows, incorporating French doors, and a double-glazed sun-roof, bringing abundant additional light into the room. Featuring a casual breakfasting peninsula, the kitchen comes stylishly appointed with a comprehensive selection of cabinets, boasting a rich wood-toned finish and accompanied by granite and natural wood worktops. This exceptionally well-equipped space includes an impressive range cooker, with a stainless-steel splashback and an integrated chimney-style hood, a freestanding washing machine, a tall fridge freezer, an integrated fridge, and a dishwasher. Also located within the apartment are two double bedrooms immaculately-presented in tranquil pastel hues paired with stripped pine flooring and classic ceiling cornicing. Lit by double windows, the master bedroom benefits from a wealth of built-in storage including a wall-to wall wardrobe with a chic partially-mirrored frontage. The second bedroom also enjoys the luxury of a bright, attractively-tiled en-suite shower room comprising a WC-suite, basin and a shower enclosure. Finally, seamlessly blending contemporary and traditional style is a luxurious bathroom, offset by sage-green walls and sleek subway tiling, and equipped with a WC, a basin set into vanity storage, a bathtub with a aneled surround, a chrome towel radiator, and a shower enclosure. The property benefits from efficient gas central heating. Outside, the apartment enjoys its own sunny private terrace accessed from the reception room and ideal for alfresco dining on warmer days. The development also provides its residents with access to beautifully maintained communal gardens and a residents' parking area with two allocated spaces.
