The property

Forming part of B-listed Victorian tenement in sought-after Marchmont, this three/four-bedroom third-floor flat represents a wonderful home or investment opportunity close to the University of Edinburgh. The property is presented to an excellent standard throughout, and combines open-plan living with the impressive proportions, natural light and elegant features synonymous with Victorian architecture. Constructed circa 1882 the Baronial-style tenement is characterised by its crowstepped stone gableheads and elaborate decorative masonry. A secure entry-phone system allows access to the shared stairwell, and on the third-floor the front door opens into a hall with two storage cupboards, one of which is a generous walk-in store. The long open-plan living room/dining kitchen benefits from two separate doors from the hall, owing to its original layout as two separate rooms. Perfect for everyday life and relaxed entertaining, the space enjoys a tranquil aspect overlooking the rear garden and falls naturally into distinct zones for cooking, dining and relaxing. The substantial linear kitchen provides ample fitted storage and workspace, and accommodates a range of freestanding appliances. Also, it should be noted that the wall-mounted cooker extractor hood is connected to outside via concealed overhead ducting (incorporating an 'in-line' fan) which discharges via a vent to the rear wall. The classic Edinburgh Press in this room houses the gas combi boiler. Returning to the hall, the property boasts four exceptionally bright and spacious double bedrooms, all of which have retained desirable period features, including timber panelling and plasterwork cornicing. In particular the principal bedroom (formerly the living room) boasts a splendid feature fireplace flanked by traditional recessed shelving, and an exquisite bay window that yields tremendous views towards Holyrood Park in one direction and Bruntsfield Links in the other. Completing the accommodation is the airy three-piece bathroom. the property benefits from gas-fired central heating, heritage-style double-glazed sash-and-case windows, use of a shared garden/drying green and controlled permit parking (Zone 8) and metered parking is available. Renowned as a vibrant and sought-after suburb, Marchmont offers a variety of lovely period properties, leafy areas and outstanding retailers.
