The property

This is a delightful example of a BASEMENT FLAT within Listed Victorian purpose-built flat, enjoying a very central location close to the beautiful Botanic Gardens and Water of Leith walkway. It is full of character & charm. Entrance at ground floor into shared stairway (entryphone); steps lead down to lower level: Hall, Living/Dining room; Kitchen( with window); Bedroom & Bathroom. Residents' Zone Parking; sunny shared Gardens. Well, this is definitely a property that could boast the "location, location, location" tag. Canonmills borders Edinburgh's historic New Town and is just a few minutes from the city centre, yet has the almost semi-rural attractions of The Royal Botanic Gardens and the walkway along the banks of the Water of Leith, literally on its doorstep. Add to that, local "corner" shopping, nearby supermarket (Tesco), a choice of bus routes and the desirability of the area is easy to appreciate. Indeed, fashionable Stockbridge is also within walking distance with its quaint little shops, weekend market and selection of bars, bistros, restaurants & cafes, and another outside space: Inverleith Park. The vicinity appeals to investors as it does attract "blue-chip" tenants able and willing to pay premium rents. Canon Street comprises compact, stone built tenements along the west side of the street. They date from the Victorian period and offer nicely proportioned properties. This example is on the lower ground or basement level and as such, is not overlooked; to the front there is a traditional "Area" (patio) and to the rear an attractive shared garden. Inside, it is in excellent condition and well presented. Potential buyers will appreciate that there is obvious potential to introduce their own interior design ideas and no doubt add value to the property, in doing so. Good storage.
