The property

By far one of the finest examples of period living meets contemporary interior design, this two-bedroom main-door flat in desirable Bellevue boasts the grand proportions synonymous with the architectural era, plus an array of exquisite original features that are effortlessly enhanced by minimalist interior design. The flat enjoys a tranquil yet central location, just a stroll from bustling Leith Walk and within easy walking distance of the New Town. The handsome front door is positioned behind a south-facing garden and swings open to reveal an entrance vestibule with original Victorian floor tiles. As you step into the hall, restored floorboards and panelled doors set the tone for the accommodation to follow. The living room is dominated by a splendid, south-facing bay window framed by classic panelling. This reception room would lend itself to any number of configurations and boasts a handsome fireplace. The convivial dining kitchen is equipped with freestanding kitchen units, which house a dishwasher and a stainless-steel double sink, as well as an impressive dual-fuel Smeg cooker paired with a coordinating stainless-steel cooker hood and a splashback panel. The dining kitchen also incorporates a walk-in pantry and a press cupboard. The utility room allows direct access to the private garden. The property boasts two double bedrooms, the largest of which enjoys a southerly aspect, and a versatile box room. The box room borrows natural light from the dining kitchen and would make an ideal home office. Completing the accommodation are a hall cupboard and a three-piece bathroom. With the same timeless styling as the rest of the home, the bathroom comprises a double-ended bath with a thermostatic shower; a wall-mounted basin with bespoke storage; a WC and a chrome towel warmer. The property benefits from gas central heating, double-glazed sash windows, a private garden to the front ad rear, as well as access to a shared garden/drying green.
