Offers Over £285,000 | 2 Bed Flat - Lower with 1 Reception Room
Ref: E501903
Description
Tucked within the sought-after Ryehill neighbourhood near Leith Links, this very appealing lower, main-door flat combines traditional character with modern comfort. Part of a classic Edinburgh terrace, the property offers the best of both worlds — timeless period features and thoughtful updates. The period double-door entrance leads to the inviting vestibule with elegant Victorian floor tiles, then into the main hallway. At the heart of the flat lies the living-dining room, an ideal space for entertaining or quiet evenings in. The twin patio doors open directly onto the private rear garden, while a multi-fuel stove brings a cosy focal point in winter. A generous recess makes room for a small dining area, and a large walk-in cupboard cleverly doubles as a compact home office. The kitchen connects conveniently to the living space and is filled with natural light from two windows and a glazed door to the garden. Featuring modern white gloss cabinets, contrasting worktops, a gas stove, and an integrated fridge and eye-level microwave, it balances style with practicality. Both double bedrooms offer a calm retreat. The front-facing principal bedroom enjoys a beautiful bay window and rich original detailing — ornate cornicing, panelled surrounds, and polished floors — complemented by a living flame gas fire with a decorative cast-iron surround. The second double bedroom, facing the rear, provides a peaceful atmosphere for rest or home working. The bathroom combines traditional comfort with modern design, featuring fresh white tiling, a freestanding double-ended bath with a power shower, and chic fittings including a heated chrome towel ladder. Outside, both front and rear private gardens enhance the home's appeal. The rear garden is a tranquil haven, complete with a secure shed with power and lights and currently housing a freezer — an ideal space for hobbies or extra storage. Practical features have been carefully considered: new double glazing, a Worcester combi boiler provide year-round comfort. The building's roof and chimneys were extensively refurbished just four years ago under a 15-year warranty, giving peace of mind for years to come.
