The property

5/1 Sciennes House Place is an opportunity not to be missed! We are delighted to present to the market this truly outstanding ground floor flat that has been completely renovated to the highest of standards. The property forms part of Sciennes Hill House which was built in 1741 as a substantial three storey townhouse and was best known as the home of philosopher Adam Fergusson. It was here that Fergusson held one of his literary dinners that provided the only occasion in which poet Robert Burns met the young Walter Scott. The house was partially demolished in the late 1800's and it is the back of the original house that can now be seen from the street, whilst the altered front remains visible in the charming rear courtyard. The extensive renovation of the flat started by stripping the property back to the original walls, some of which have been retained as features, upgrading the original sash and case windows, new flooring, electrics, plumbing and a new electric combi heating system installed. This home truly shows the ultimate blend of contemporary living and traditional charm. The common stair doors have been newly painted and has a secure entry system installed. The main focal point of the flat is the striking lounge / kitchen with exposed stone walls, engineered Oak wood flooring with lighting feature, glass shelved alcove and striking, original black marble fireplace with electric stove fire. There is a window to the front with fitted window seat with storage below and a shelved cupboard houses the boiler. The kitchen is fitted with a range of high quality base units with hot tap, oven, hob, fridge/freezer, dishwasher and washer/drier all integrated. There is a good sized double bedroom with window to rear with window seat with storage, attractive wall panelling and a triple wardrobe with built-in shelving, drawers and lighting. Completing the accommodation is the stylish wet room with its 2 two piece black suite with walk-in shower, fully tiled walls and attractive glass shelving. Externally and to the rear is an attractive courtyard garden. There is an exclusive cupboard in the communal stairwell. Properties of this calibre are rare to the market and early internal viewing is essential to avoid disappointment. The property can be sold with the furniture included at separate negotiation. Sciennes is a very popular location close to the city centre, Marchmont, Newington and Bruntsfield districts with a wealth of amenities including specialists shops, restaurants and leisure facilities. Pleasant walks can be enjoyed at The Meadows and adjoining Bruntsfield Links.
