The property

Lying just a stone's throw from Portobello's beautiful sandy beach and conveniently set on the High Street, lined with charming shops, delis, cafés and eateries, and providing unrestricted parking, this characterful and spacious two-bedroom, two-bathroom first-floor duplex flat enjoys one of the capital's most desirable suburban addresses. Accessed via secure communal entrance, the flat's front door opens into an airy, subtlety decorated hall with fitted carpeting and a deep built-in store cupboard. Benefiting from the afternoon sun, the adjoining living room boasts a practical squarely-proportioned footprint allowing flexibility for numerous furniture configurations. Here, crisp-white decor is warmly accompanied by stripped pine flooring, whilst a useful storage recess and a window seat overlooking the bustling street below complete this lovely sitting area. Across the hall from the living room is a kitchen stretching the entire depth of the property to allow plentiful space for seated dining. This attractive room, perfectly designed for socialising with family and friends, is lit by twin windows and presented in muted dove grey, with a coordinating painted wood floor. Complementing this tasteful décor is a collection of white classically-styled fitted cabinets, wood-toned worktops and chic, glossy wall tiling. A freestanding washing machine and an electric cooker paired with a unique mosaic tiled splashback are included. Also located on this level is an exquisite bathroom featuring a painted wood floor and tongue-and-groove panelling, understated monochrome wall tiles, and a large window with a stripped pine surround. This period-inspired bathroom comes complete with a WC, a basin, with a wall-mounted mirrored cabinet, a bathtub with a shower tap attachment, and a handy traditional clothes pulley. On the second floor, a landing leads to a southerly-facing master suite and a rear-facing single bedroom with an open storage area. Both rooms are plushly carpeted for maximum comfort and decorated in an attractive fashion. Heightened by elegant accent wallpaper, the dormer-fronted master bedroom allows plentiful space for furniture and benefits from the luxury of an en-suite shower room. Simply decorated and tiled, the bright, double-glazed shower room includes a WC-suite and a shower enclosure. The property is heated via an efficient gas central heating system. Externally, the flat enjoys access to a communal courtyard garden, whilst on-street parking is conveniently unrestricted. Also, just a five-minute walk from the property, the nearby beach and promenade promise a breath-taking setting for outdoor relaxation and recreation.
