The property

Set within a classic sandstone tenement on tranquil West Savile Terrace, this two-bedroom second-floor flat promises a wonderful home in sought-after Newington. Owing to its elevated setting, the flat commands magnificent views of iconic Arthur’s Seat and Salisbury Crags to the front, and charming garden views to the rear. Brimming with character, the flat has retained a wealth of period features: from original panelled doors, to intricate cornices and ceiling roses. The property would now benefit from some cosmetic upgrading, however offers fantastic scope for prospective buyers to create a home tailored to their own tastes and preferences, or an equally attractive rental investment close to the University of Edinburgh campuses. Accessed via a traditional shared stairwell, welcoming you into the flat is a good-sized hall with a handy storage cupboard. The vast living room to the front is bathed in evening light from a wide bay window, which also yields stunning views. Period features include exquisite cornices and a ceiling rose, dado and picture rails, and an attractive fireplace flanked by recessed storage and shelving. With such generous proportions the room would lend itself to various lounge and dining configurations to suit. The sunny, southeast-facing dining kitchen to the rear is presented in neutral tones and furnished with ample fitted storage and workspace, plus a selection of freestanding appliances. The dining kitchen also incorporates a classic walk-in pantry and a press cupboard (which houses the combi boiler), and easily accommodates a large dining table – perfect for everyday meals and relaxed entertaining! The flat boasts two bright and spacious double bedrooms, which are positioned to the front and rear respectively. Completing the accommodation is the airy three-piece bathroom, which features a bath, a wall-mounted electric shower, a pedestal basin and a toilet. The property benefits from gas central heating, double-glazed window, access to a southeast-facing shared garden to the rear and unrestricted on-street parking is available. Newington is regarded as one of the most favoured and sought-after residential neighbourhoods in Edinburgh, just south of the City Centre. The area is renowned for its excellent variety of specialist shops, together with some of Edinburgh’s finest bars, bistros and restaurants and has a wide range of local amenities nearby. Both the University of Edinburgh King’s Buildings complex and the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary are close by. Leisure and recreational amenities are plentiful with The Meadows, Arthur’s Seat, the Royal Commonwealth Pool and leisure complex, several golf courses and the wide open spaces of Holyrood Park nearby.
