The property

Situated close to the Union Canal and Harrison Park, the flat is just a short stroll from a rejuvenated Fountainbridge. While in need of modernisation, the flat retains original features, such as sash-and-case windows, and presents an excellent opportunity for creating a desirable city abode. Benefiting from a quiet, garden-facing position in a stone-fronted tenement building, the flat is accessed via a secure entry system and communal stairwell. On the first floor the front door opens into a spacious hallway, which leads to an open-plan living room and kitchen. The living area offers ample space for various furniture configurations, whilst the kitchen, though in need of updating, is fitted with an array of cabinets and features a breakfast bar. Also incorporated into the flat is a good-sized double bedroom with a large window that retains its original panelled surround. In addition to excellent built-in storage, the bedroom incorporates a shower cubicle. Adjacent and accessed from the hall, is a bright and spacious WC and a sink. Positioned approximately 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, which is home to independent shops, a thriving café culture, award-winning pubs, restaurants and eateries. Home Report £120,000 - EPC E
