The property

Welcome to 38 Arden Street Introducing a traditional main-door garden flat in highly sought-after Marchmont, offering all the benefits of period architecture – the generous rooms with ten-and-a-half foot ceilings and impeccable original cornicing – alongside sympathetic modern interiors (completed to exceptional standards) and two private gardens. Entrance - Nestled behind a private front garden, the home’s main door opens into a vestibule brimming with traditional character. From here, a door to the hall – inset with artistic stained glass – adds to the welcome, continuing the wonderful first impression. The hall features elegant interior design, textured by a picture rail, as well as a dado rail and chic skirting board mouldings. It has built-in storage and space for freestanding furniture, whilst four-panel wooden doors lead to the main accommodation. Living Room - With highly ornate frieze cornicing set above a picture rail, the living room immediately catches the eye. Adorned with a wealth of period details, it features a sweeping bay with original sash timber windows to the front. It has an expansive footprint laid with wooden floorboards, providing ample space for a variety of furnishings and design layouts. The room is framed by a handsome (and fully functional) open fireplace complimented by a period, glass fronted, built-in display cabinet. Dining Kitchen - Enjoying equally spacious dimensions, the dining kitchen easily accommodates a large table and chairs, ensuring the perfect setup for lively dinner parties. It has a sophisticated style in a Shaker-inspired design, equipped with modern cabinets and luxury quartz worktops. The on-trend aesthetic is further enhanced by colourful mosaic tile splashbacks and integrated appliances for a streamlined finish. There is a walk-in larder with substantial built-in storage. The adjacent utility room is equipped with a second hand basin and an additional gas hob, providing further kitchen workspace and access to the rear garden. Bedrooms & Study - The two double bedrooms are set at different ends of the home, the principal room facing the rear garden and the second bedroom to the front. The principal bedroom has a generous footprint to accommodate an excellent selection of bedside furnishings. It enjoys sunny yellow décor and white detailing, split by a picture rail. A working open fireplace brings additional charm to the room, whilst original wooden floorboards complete the inspired aesthetic. The second bedroom has a similar look, but with light blue decoration. Currently arranged as a relaxed music and family room, it provides owners with fantastic flexibility. In addition, there is a study, finished in olive tones, providing another versatile space to suit your needs and requirements. Bathroom - The bathroom has an attractive combination of tongue-and-groove panelling and taupe metro wall tiles, set against a neutral backdrop. It features a quality four-piece suite, with twin wash basins set above storage, a large backlit mirror, a porcelain toilet, and an original inbuilt cast iron bath with high specification Victorian-style reproduction faucets and taps, plus a modern handheld and overhead/rainfall shower. Gardens & Parking - Flanked by well-kept gardens, this city home provides lovely outdoor spaces for summer enjoyment. Elegant period ironwork fencing encloses the charming front garden, which is set with well established roses, peonies, and other flowering plants. The fully enclosed rear garden has a stretch of lawn framed by mature shrubs and trees – perfect for relaxing in the sun. Both gardens feature stylish, modern external lighting. Conveniently, controlled permit parking is also available (Zone S1) – an essential feature in the city centre.
