The property

Set on the first floor of a traditional building in the city’s Newington district, within the South Side conservation area, just a stone’s throw from The Meadows and Holyrood Park, and with excellent amenities on the doorstep, this well-proportioned flat enjoys two bedrooms and an open-plan living area, as well as access to a shared garden. The flat is sure to appeal to first-time buyers, professionals, and rental investors alike. A secure shared stairwell leads to the flat’s first-floor front door, which opens into a high-ceilinged hall with a characterful curved wall and a two-piece WC, leading into the living accommodation to the right. The open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room offers plenty of space for lounge and dining furniture and features an Edinburgh Press, and neatly fitted to one side of the room is a selection of modern cabinets and workspace. Appliances comprising a cooker, a fridge/freezer, a washing machine, and a dishwasher will be included in the sale. The flat’s two double bedrooms are elegantly-decorated, carpeted for comfort, retain their cornicing detail, and offer flexibility for both bedroom and home office furnishings, if desired. The larger bedroom also benefits from an Edinburgh Press and a sunny aspect. A modern bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower, a pedestal basin, a WC, and a mirrored, wall-mounted vanity cabinet. The home is kept warm by a gas central heating system and the windows are all double-glazed. Externally, the flat enjoys access to a leafy shared garden. Controlled parking in the area falls under Zone 3. Located on the south side of the capital, approximately two miles from the city centre, Newington offers an array of housing options, from traditional tenements to grand villas, suiting every stage of life, and is popular with students due to its fantastic proximity to The University of Edinburgh campuses. This diverse demographic is reflected in the dynamic social scene and atmosphere, which is fuelled by an exciting blend of artisan coffee shops, pubs, bars, and cuisine from all corners of the globe. This is heightened further during the summer months, when the area is transformed into the beating heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Newington is also home to a wealth of cultural attractions, namely the Festival Theatre, the Queen’s Hall and Summerhall multi-arts complex. Residents enjoy access to an eclectic mix of independent shops, express supermarkets and high-street retailers along Nicolson Street and South Clerk Street, with more extensive shopping facilities available at Cameron Toll Shopping Centre. Newington is within the catchment area for well-regarded schools and is served by comprehensive public transport links travelling across the city, day and night. EPC: C Tenure: Freehold Council Tax: C
