6/9 Temple Park Crescent, Edinburgh, EH11 1HT

The property

6/9 Temple Park Crescent is a delightful blend of period features and modern interiors and would appeal to first-time buyers, city professionals and investors alike. Accessed via a secure communal stair, the front door of this third floor flat opens into a generous reception hallway, with built-in storage. Here, the original stripped floorboards, high ceilings, and original panelled doors offer the first flavour of the space and period features on offer. Enjoying a sunny double aspect is a large living room arranged around a feature open fireplace. Leading off the living room is a versatile box room fitted with a double bed raised platform, with floorspace for a desk. On the other side of the flat is an attractive kitchen diner. It enjoys outstanding proportions, a modern country-inspired design, and ample space for a large table and chairs. The room is cleverly zoned by a kitchen island (with a granite worktop) into distinct areas for cooking and dining. The kitchen comes with an excellent range of clotted cream-coloured units, framed by solid wood worktops, a range of appliances and olive tongue-and-groove panelling. The particularly spacious double bedroom enjoys the same period features as the rest of the flat and offers lovely views over the rooftops to the hills in the distance. Completing this attractive city home is a contemporary shower room with a wet room floor. Further benefits include gas central heating and conservation style double glazed windows ensure a warm yet cost-effective living environment. Externally, there is a shared communal garden and zoned residents’ parking falls within Zone S3. Positioned approx. two miles south-west of the city centre, Polwarth enjoys the best of both worlds: a tranquil yet central canal-side setting with fantastic local amenities in every direction. Polwarth is just minutes walk from bustling Bruntsfield Place with its independent shops and high-street retailers, cafes, bars, restaurants, and eateries. Fitness studios and gyms are within the vicinity, as is Harrison Park, Bruntsfield Links and The Meadows. Across the canal is the Fountain Park leisure complex (with multi-screen cinema, a bowling alley, a Virgin Active gym, and an array of family restaurants) and the city centre is just a short walk away. Polwarth is within the catchment area for well-regarded Bruntsfield Primary School and Boroughmuir High School, and is also ideally located for some of Edinburgh’s most prestigious independent schools, particularly George Watson’s College in neighbouring Merchiston. Polwarth is served by excellent public transport links travelling across the city and beyond, and offers swift and easy access to Edinburgh City Bypass, Edinburgh Airport and the M8/M9 motorway network.
