1 bed first floor flat for sale in Colinton

A characterful and meaningfully upgraded one-bedroom flat in the heart of Colinton village, one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential addresses. Colinton is among the few places in Edinburgh where the pace of village life sits in genuine harmony with the connectivity of a capital city. The Water of Leith Walkway, the Pentland Hills Regional Park, and a well-served local village centre are all within immediate reach, whilst the City Bypass provides swift access to the wider Edinburgh road network, and a direct bus service connects residents seamlessly to Edinburgh Airport. Set within a well-maintained traditional stone-built tenement on one of the village's most established residential streets, this first floor flat offers accommodation of considerable character and a standard of finish that reflects a thoughtful and considered programme of improvement. The lounge/diner is a well-proportioned reception room, benefiting from a pleasant front-facing aspect and excellent natural light. A traditional shelved Edinburgh press cupboard and an attractive gas fireplace together create a focal point of genuine warmth and period authenticity, qualities that define the best of Edinburgh's traditional tenement stock. The kitchen is well-appointed throughout, with a good range of integrated and freestanding appliances including electric hob, oven, extractor hood, freestanding fridge and washing machine, complemented by ample worktop and cupboard space. The double bedroom is positioned to the rear of the property, enjoying an open outlook over mature greenery beyond which the Water of Leith runs below. The bathroom is fitted with a rainfall shower over bath, heated towel rail and partial tiling. The property has been upgraded beyond standard tenement specification, with new internal insulation and high-performance secondary glazing installed to deliver materially superior thermal efficiency and reduced utility costs. Additional benefits include a private storage cupboard within the communal close, access to a beautifully maintained shared rear garden, and on-street parking for both residents and visitors.
