The property
Situated right at the beating heart of Edinburgh's historic Old Town, this property is in a wonderful location, with The Palace and The Parliament as very near neighbours! Over recent years the area has been going through a renaissance and it is vibrant and exciting in equal measure. This flat is in a block in a cobbled courtyard and is actually rather quiet and peaceful. First developed from an old British Gas building in 1990, Buchanan Court is something of a hidden gem, tucked in down at the eastern end of Calton Road. The sellers have been here for nigh on 25 years and over this time they have regularly upgraded the flat - the latest project was the refitting of the Kitchen and the Bathroom just 3 years ago. This is a conservation area and World Heritage site.

Hall / Landing
Flats 3 and 4 are off the same first floor hallway, enclosed by a fire door from the stairs. As you enter the flat the hall gives you an idea of the contemporary style of the flat. It is painted in a cheery terracotta shade and gives access to all rooms in the flat with the exception of the Kitchen. There are two excellent walk-in storage cupboards – one is partly an airing cupboard, the other is a superb glory hole where you will hide the ironing board and the hoover
