The property
A terrific opportunity for a viable interior design project. This is a spacious top flat with super open views to Arthur's Seat, well situated in this sought after location. Hall; Living room ; Dining/Kitchen, Box/Bedroom, 2 Bedrooms; & Bathroom. Zone Parking; Entry phone; D. Glazing & Gas Central Heating. Shared rear gardens. Location Royal Park Terrace is the road running alongside Holyrood Park. This section of the thoroughfare is particularly appealing as it is opposite Arthur's Seat and comprises similar traditional stone tenements where residents' are lucky enough to have a wide selection of amenities, literally "on the doorstep". The city centre is only 1.5 miles and this factor undoubtedly contributes to the area's desirability. There are excellent local shops & regular bus routes; in addition, there is a choice of supermarkets close-by and motorists can quickly access the by-pass via the A1 leading on to the main road network in and out of Edinburgh. Leisure is particularly well catered for in Meadowbank with the Leisure Centre of that name, The Royal Commonwealth Pool ( through Holyrood Park ); several golf courses and of course the many lovely walks on and around neighbouring Arthurs Seat. Even Portobello and its promenade, beach & shopping is only 1.5 miles east. The Property Part of a traditional row of stone built tenements which in the section, have only two flats per landing and as such have aspects both to the front (enjoying the beautiful views to Arthur's Seat) and to the rear. Whilst now requiring re-furbished, the property has a really nice "vibe" to it with blend of period finishes such as the stripped down to the natural timber doors and retention of the fireplace in the Living room. In addition, double glazing and gas fired central heating have been installed. Prospective buyers should see the tremendous potential there is to create a really lovely property. In recent times, flats in Royal Park Terrace have shown excellent growth in values and with the regeneration of the Meadowbank Stadium, the expectation is for that to continue. Shrewd investors will note this and the lovely location so close to many of Edinburgh's main tourist attractions.

Living Room
5.42 m X 3.44 m / 17'9" X 11'3"
Typical of the period, this is a splendid main public room set to the front and wow! what a view over towards Arthurs Seat. An attractive fireplace is featured and the original cornicing is in good shape. Open press cupboard.
-
Kitchen Dining Room
4.25 m X 3.07 m / 13'11" X 10'1"
To the rear and enjoying an open aspect across towards the new Meadowbank Leisure complex. There is an "L" shape of floor and wall cupboards which are adequate but overall, the kitchen requires upgrading whether that is as existing as a kitchen/diner, or repositioned into the boxroom; this would create a three bedroom flat. Deep cupboard off.

A double Bedroom to the front also affording the superb view.
