The property

Part of a traditional tenement building, this beautifully-presented, two-bedroom, third-floor flat in sought-after Bellevue is situated within walking distance of the city centre and outstanding amenities. The stylish property, ideal for city professionals and small families, is comprised of a large living/dining room with period features, two double bedrooms, two high-spec bathrooms, and a modern kitchen, all finished with contemporary interior design. The front door to the flat, reached via a secure shared entrance and traditional stairwell to the third floor, opens into a central hall that sets the scene, and standards, for the following accommodation. Lined with four-panel wooden doors and decorated in light, neutral hues, it provides a warm invitation and convenient built-in storage for coats and shoes. The living/dining room is to the right, impressing with its contemporary styling and wealth of well-retained period features, from the wood-panelled bay window whose curvature forms the perfect dining area, to the highly ornate cornice work and picture rail that help emphasise the lofty, classical dimensions. Spaciously proportioned, this delightful living space also has a handsome period fireplace, set beside an Edinburgh Press cupboard, which creates an ideal focal point for arranging lounge furniture. The room is bathed in warm afternoon sun from a southeast-facing aspect and offers spectacular rooftop views from the bay window to Calton Hill. In the kitchen, white-gloss cabinets, with chrome accents, are arranged in an L-shape along the base and wall, providing ample storage alongside granite-inspired worksurfaces. The modern style is finished with olive-toned splashback tiles, bringing a welcomed dash of colour to the monochrome palette. It incorporates an integrated oven and gas hob, with a slimline extractor hood, an integrated washing machine, an integrated dishwasher, and a freestanding fridge/freezer. To the rear of the flat, the two double bedrooms are both spaciously proportioned and attractively presented, enjoying the same keen eye for detail found throughout. The master bedroom, with two built-in cupboards and soft carpeting, also offers the added luxury of a high-spec en-suite shower room. The second bedroom, on the other hand, has stripped wooden floorboards and a charming feature wall. Completing the accommodation on offer, the three-piece family bathroom (and overhead shower) is presented with striking metro-style wall tiles for a contemporary take on a traditional look, perfectly in-line with the character of the property. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure comfort and efficiency. Externally, there is a large communal garden to the rear that is well-maintained and mostly laid to lawn, providing an idyllic space for relaxing and dining in the sun. Conveniently, parking along Bellevue Road is controlled and accessible with a residents’ permit (Zone N1).
