The property

Set on the ground floor of a converted red brick building, dating back to 1927 and surrounded by communal garden grounds, the flat is accessed via a secure entry phone system. Once inside, you are welcomed by stylish, eclectic interiors and a generous reception hallway. Enjoying ample natural light streaming in from dual-aspect windows, is a vast open plan living and dining room. Decorated in mole grey beautifully framing the rich tones of the wood-styled flooring, the room offers a cosy atmosphere, despite its generous footprint allowing for a distinct lounge and separate dining area. Leading off the reception room is a brightly lit study, currently utilised as a generous storeroom. The stylish breakfasting kitchen boasts ample wall and base Shaker units in grey, framed by black Corian worktops and white metro splashback tiles. The kitchen neatly hides a range of integrated appliances and offers space for a tall freestanding fridge/freezer. A breakfast bar provides seating for two at the window, perfect for morning coffee. The property comes with three bedrooms; two doubles and a single bedroom. Bedroom one enjoys a double aspect and generous footprint with built-in mirrored wardrobes, whilst bedroom two, also with a fitted carpet and mirrored wardrobe, is currently utilised as a TV room/snug. Bedroom three comes with a raised platform bed, fitted storage and ample floorspace for other bedroom furniture. Completing this impressive city home is a generous and bright bathroom, with a three-piece-suite with a shower-over-bath. Gas central heating controlled by a NEST thermostat system, low energy LED recessed lights, and double glazing ensure a warm and cost-effective living environment all year round. Externally, the striking building sits in attractive landscaped grounds and benefits from parking bays to the front of the building. Abbeyhill enjoys an ideal location with some of the capital’s top attractions like the Royal Mile, Parliament, Holyrood Palace, and Arthur’s Seat, all on your doorstep.
