2 bed top floor flat for sale in Newington

This is a bright top flat with lots of character, offering flexible accommodation and enjoying highly sought after location in fashionable Newington. Shops and buses abound, literally on the doorstep. Needing a little "TLC" but enormous potential. Hall, Living/Kitchen; 2 Bedrooms ; Boxroom & bathroom. Double Glazing; Electric Heating; Shared Gardens. Zone Parking. Location Newington is recognised as one of Edinburgh's most desirable areas to live, being within convenient distance (2 miles) of the city centre yet also close to the open parklands of both the Meadows & Holyrood Park. Ratcliffe Terrace is actually a continuation of Causewayside and a neighbourhood with a great community atmosphere, with cafe's, pubs ( the one below, an "Edinburgh institution"), and a mix of quirky and traditional shops; Cameron Toll shopping complex is also only a mile down the road. Regular buses pass by or nearby and motorists can quickly access the by-pass leading onto the motorways network. The Property No 49 Ratcliffe Terrace is an end of terraced stone - built tenement with commercial property on the ground floor. The dwellings in the building comprise flats, mostly now modernised; indeed the top floor neighbouring flat, is now a fabulous Duplex. This property is surprisingly spacious and has been rented out successfully in recent years. The existing layout suited renting but potential owner-occupiers may wish to either go back to the Living room, Kitchen/Dining, Bedroom & Boxroom set-up or, fit a new kitchen in the boxroom/recess(subject to permissions), which would provide Living room, two bedrooms, Kitchen & bathroom design and without doubt significant "added value". Either way there's lots of potential.
