The property

The property is a most elegant, spacious and sunny Victorian Ground Floor flat, converted from an impressive stone terraced villa. Beautifully located in the heart of Edinburgh's sought-after West End, it overlooks a delightful shared central garden and is within easy walking distance of Princes Street. Of particular note are the elegant proportions, very fine original cornice-work, fireplaces and woodwork. Year-round comfort is ensured by effective and efficient gas central heating. The fabric of the building has just been the subject of a £130,000 overhaul, paid for by the present proprietors. The painting of the front door and exterior of this flat's windows remain to be completed as part of these works. There is residents' parking by permit and metered visitor parking. The accommodation comprises a magnificent shared entrance hall featuring decorative wood panelling and a stained glass door panel. This leads to an Inner Hall, thence the Reception Hall where half-height wooden panelling continues, complemented by luxury ‘Amtico' flooring. The Bay-windowed Sittingroom enjoys a sunny outlook over the private shared agardens and is filled with natural light. Further wood panelling, a fine open fireplace with a period mantel and beautiful cornice-work decorated with delicate gold detail enhance the stunning proportions. The large double bedroom is fitted with wardrobes and an elegant dressing table with several drawers, providing ample storage space. A fine period fireplace and further cornice-work add to the fine impression of this room, as do the twin windows which provide a private leafy rear outlook. The bathroom/wet-room benefits from a heated towel rail, WC, wash-hand basin with inbuilt cupboards, a splashback surrounding the sink and a full-height panel to the shower. The spacious Kitchen/Diningroom comes complete with fitted base and wall mounted units and a range of appliances including integrated dishwasher, single electric oven, 4 ring induction-hob with stainless steel splash back and cooker hood as well as a washing machine. The splendour and elegance of Edinburgh's West End provides a magnificent setting in which to work and live with the architecture of the surrounding streets providing fine examples of both the Victorian and Georgian era, particularly at nearby Belford where there is the Dean Gallery, Museum of Modern Art and a Sports Club. The City Centre, which is all within walking distance, offers top-quality shopping with outlets such as Harvey Nichols, John Lewis, Jenners, Marks and Spencer as well as speciality shopping in George Street. There is an abundance of Bars, Bistros and Restaurants-some Michelin-starred, to suit every taste and budget.
