The property

This beautiful two bedroom flat occupies the entire top (second) floor of a impressive B-Listed detached villa that dates back to 1868. The property is situated on Palmerston Road, a highly desirable address that is both wonderfully tranquil yet just a short stroll from The Meadows and a fantastic selection of shops, cafes and restaurants that can be found in Marchmont. The entrance to 9B, which is shared with just one other flat, is tucked away to the rear of property and the door to the flat itself has secure, smart keyless entry. The property is extremely spacious and enjoys an abundance of natural light throughout the day, thanks to its perfect orientation capturing sunlight from all four directions: north, south, east, and west. The accommodation comprises: entrance hall with skylight; sitting room with wood burning stove; large kitchen/dining room; two double bedrooms, both recarpeted within the last year, including one with a walk-in-wardrobe; a perfect study with stunning direct views of Arthur's Seat as well as handy built-in shelving and desk; and finally, a luxurious, newly fitted bathroom with freestanding bath and separate shower. The property has gas central heating operated by a modern boiler, installed in 2021 and still under guarantee. Single glazed sash and case windows are fitted throughout. To the rear of the property is a well-maintained private rear garden which is fully enclosed. A large strip of ground behind the garages also belongs to the flat. The large single garage has power and the potential for installing an EV charger. In 2017, the roof to the garage was refelted with a 10 year guarantee in place against wear and tear. Parking is available in front of the garage. The Local Area The Grange is a highly desirable, peaceful neighbourhood located just under two miles south of Edinburgh City Centre.
