The property boasts two double bedrooms, a versatile box room, and stylish decor paired with lovingly- preserved period features, plus access to a well-kept shared garden. Morningside is home to a wealth of amenities and lies just over two miles from the heart of the capital. The flat is accessed via a well-maintained shared stairwell (with original tiles and terrazzo flooring) to the first floor, where a spacious hallway welcomes you inside and houses handy built-in storage. Giving the first glimpse of the tasteful interiors to follow, the hall is decorated in stylish grey hues enhanced by a plush fitted carpet, a picture rail and elegant cornicing. Leading off the hall and situated to the front of the property is an impressive living room with stunning southerly views to the Pentland Hills. Exuding a wonderfully light and airy ambience owing to a soaring ceiling (adorned with beautiful cornicing) and a large, west-facing bay window with a panelled surround, this generous reception area enjoys the same decor as the hall, enhanced by original pine flooring. At the focal point of the space is an attractive period-inspired fireplace, flanked by a glazed Edinburgh Press with hidden storage and display shelving. Returning back through the hall, you reach an equally appealing dining kitchen.
