1 bed top floor flat for sale in Shandon

This one-bedroom third/top-floor flat (with an alternate layout for two bedrooms) forms part of a traditional tenement building, situated in the Slateford conservation area. It is brought to market with neutral interiors throughout, and it offers spacious accommodation with high ceilings and period features. The home further benefits from a large, well-appointed dining kitchen, a box room, and a three-piece bathroom. Inside the flat, which is accessed via a secure telephone-entry system and a shared stairwell, you are greeted by a central hall leading to all accommodation. It flows left into the living room, where neutral decoration and a snug carpet create an inviting aesthetic. It has a spacious footprint ornamented by period cornicing and a delicate ceiling rose, and is fronted by a bay window that frames wonderful elevated views over Edinburgh's iconic skyline. In the dining kitchen, a generous selection of base and wall-mounted cabinets (in two different tones) provide fantastic storage, along with the sweeping L-shaped worktops. There is additional built-in storage, and plenty of room for a table and chairs. It even has a charming nook for a comfy sofa. A gas cooker, a fridge, a freezer, and a washing machine are also included. Meanwhile, the double bedroom provides a generous footprint to accommodate an excellent choice of bedside furnishings. It continues the neutral décor, enhancing a light-filled ambience, and it is finished with varnished wooden floorboards that bring a welcomed splash of colour (as well practicality) to the space. In addition, there is a versatile box room just off the living area and hall, which could be used for storage or as a study. If required, the living room could alternatively be used as a second bedroom and the current dining kitchen as an open-plan reception area – a layout that may suit buy-to-let investors and other buyers. Finishing the accommodation is a bright three-piece bathroom, fitted with an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort. Outside, residents have access to a large communal rear garden, which is laid to lawn and carefully maintained – perfect for relaxing in the sun with neighbours. Controlled permit parking (Zone S5) is also available to homeowners. Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, a gas cooker, a fridge, a freezer, and a washing machine to be included in the sale.
