The property

Located just off the Royal Mile in the heart of Edinburgh's Historic Old Town conservation area, this category A-listed, two-bedroom, second-floor flat in the prestigious Royal Mile Mansions enjoys a prime location adored by locals and tourists alike. With a range of enviable restaurants and bars on the doorstep, the flat is replete with stunning period features, has permit parking available, and would make an ideal home for a young professional, or as a buy-to-let opportunity. Reached by a secure communal entrance and a lift or stairs to the second floor, you enter into a spacious hallway, neutrally decorated and appealing with ample storage supplied by three built-in storage cupboards. Straight ahead, the living room has the wow-factor upon entry, and features a high ceiling and a striking east-facing arch window with views down onto the period charms of bustling North Bridge. Bookshelves provide storage and enhance the ambience of the space, which has been decorated neutrally in soft tones with a plush carpet. The proportions give plenty of flexibility for different furniture configurations to suit individual tastes and requirements, and the space retains much of the original charm of the building whilst being lovingly restored. Well-laid out, the living room leads seamlessly through, up steps to a dining kitchen which is flooded with light, and features appealing views out onto North Bridge. There is a sweep of wood-toned wall and base cabinets which provide plenty of storage, ample workspace, splashback tiling, and an integrated oven, a hob, a separate grill and a washing machine. As you come back out into the hall, there is double bedroom to the left, which is east-facing for pleasing morning light, with useful built-in storage and plenty of room for other furniture. To the right, there is a further double bedroom with trio of west-facing windows. Both bedrooms are neutrally decorated in tranquil hues, and high ceilings continue throughout further adding to the sense of space. Completing the accommodation, there is a modern bathroom which has storage, a WC-suite, and a bath with an overhead shower. Electric heating ensures year-round comfort and efficiency and the flat retains its original sash-and-case windows. Outside, in the vicinity there is residents' permit parking (Zone 3) and metered parking, and the property is a stone's throw from the Royal Mile and Waverley station. Nearby green space can be found a short walk away at the Meadows. EPC Rating - E.
