2 bed first floor flat for sale in Portobello

A light and airy two-bedroom, first floor flat, conveniently located in the heart of popular Portobello, is just a stone's throw from both the vibrant Portobello High Street and the beach promenade. Boasting spacious accommodation and tall windows throughout, the property is flooded with natural light, featuring a large living room with an attractive fireplace at its centre and a large cupboard with built-in shelving, a small desk, light and electric sockets, providing a useful office space or additional storage. A bright kitchen, boasting views out to the sea, complete with a traditional Edinburgh press and a Bosch oven, installed just three years ago. A large walk-in pantry, currently containing a fridge freezer and tall, freestanding shelving units, offering the potential to fit built-in units and a worktop to your own design or reconfigure and merge with the current kitchen diner. Two generously sized bedrooms; one with a built-in wardrobe, that has previously been furnished with twin beds or a single bed and cot and that would also work well as a home office and the spacious bedroom to the back, featuring sea views, that has previously boasted a King-sized bed. The property further benefits from a spacious family bathroom and a separate WC and access to a well-maintained communal, paved garden, offering space to hang laundry outdoors. We have added some dressed photos to give an idea of how the property could look if furnished. Sizes are approximate and not to scale. Please refer to the floorplan. Communal fees: Stairwell cleaning and maintenance is the shared responsibility of all residents. The roof is accessible from the top floor, meaning maintenance can be carried out without the need for scaffolding. The maintenance costs are split between all 8 owners.
