The property

This outstanding two-bedroom (plus box room), main-door Victorian garden flat boasts generous accommodation, with appealing interiors and characterful period features, together with direct access to a sunny communal garden. Situated close to excellent local schools, independent shops, and city-centre transport links, it offers a superb urban residence within the sought-after Morningside conservation area. Privately situated behind a gated front garden, the front door opens, via a handy vestibule, into a long reception hallway, with several useful store cupboards. Setting the scene for the delightful interiors is a soaring ceiling, neutral décor, natural wood panelled doors and a stripped timber floor (which flows through the accommodation). To the right is an impressive living room, comfortably carpeted, and enjoying ample room for lounge furniture. Warm heritage decor highlights period details including an intricate cornice and Edinburgh press, and a mantlepiece with a traditional fireplace offering a cosy focal point. A deep bay window frames the front-facing outlook and draws in abundant natural light. The Shaker-styled dining kitchen enjoys a sunny, southerly aspect, and direct access to the leafy communal rear garden. The central dining area (ideal for entertaining) is surrounded by a range of clotted-cream toned cabinets, with oak worktops, and sage-toned mosaic-tiled splashbacks, neatly incorporating a deep Belfast sink, a gas hob, double oven, refrigerator and a dishwasher. A larder cupboard offers extra storage, and an adjoining utility room provides an excellent separate laundry area. The generous double master bedroom, amply proportioned for freestanding furniture, enjoys cosy carpeting and warm, blue toned toile-de-jouie décor, framed by a cornice and a dado rail. Also warmly carpeted, and enjoying the tranquil, rear garden outlook, double bedroom two features a charming, original, tiled fireplace. Situated off the hall, with natural light from the adjoining kitchen, is a good-sized boxroom, providing further storage or a perfect space for a private study or home office. Completing this exceptional home is a family bathroom, which comes with crisp-white tiles, enveloping a bath with a shower over, a WC and a washbasin within a vanity unit. Gas central heating ensures year-round comfort throughout. Externally, the enclosed front ornamental garden is gravelled for easy maintenance. The south-facing communal rear gardens, landscaped with a lawn and planted borders, are a perfect outdoor family play area and leafy alfresco haven. Controlled residents' parking (Zone B2) is available immediately at the front of the flat.
