Description
Positioned on the first floor of a listed Georgian tenement in the Southside Conservation Area, this one-bedroom flat enjoys a south-facing aspect and spectacular views of the nearby Salisbury Crags. Contemporary classical styling and heritage charm sit seamlessly side by side, with the airy, high-ceilinged interiors enjoying a crisp grey colour palette and characterful features, including cornicework and tall sash windows. Further highlights include a sunny shared garden, regulated street parking, and, set within central Newington, an exciting selection of local amenities and open green spaces. For those considering an investment opportunity or first-time purchase, superb transport connections and proximity to the University of Edinburgh will also appeal, alongside the option to purchase all furnishings with the property. Secure communal stairs lead to the flat, which opens into a freshly decorated hall featuring stylish oak-look flooring. Off the hall and facing south is a wonderfully bright reception room with a tranquil garden outlook. There is an open Edinburgh Press for display storage and flexible carpeted floorspace for both lounge and dining furniture. To the rear of the home, with those dramatic views, is a light-filled kitchen featuring crisp white modern cabinets, open shelving, illuminated worktops, a breakfast bar, and an oak-style floor. It is further equipped with an integrated oven and ceramic hob with a feature chimney hood, as well as an undercounter washer/dryer and fridge. Sharing the kitchen's scenic outlook, via a window with functional shutters, is a remarkably spacious double bedroom. It is softly carpeted and retains an open Edinburgh Press and exquisite cornicework. Completing the home, and simply styled in white, is a bathroom with fresh decor, a new electric shower over the bath, linen storage, and a handily separate WC with a basin and storage cabinet. The property is served by gas central heating and has a cellar for extra storage. Outside, residents share access to a south-facing rear garden and benefit from regulated street parking under Controlled Parking Zone 3. Extras: All fitted flooring, window coverings, light fixtures, and appliances are included in the sale. Furnishings available by separate negotiation. Area Newington, Edinburgh Located on the south side of the capital, approximately two miles from the city centre, Newington offers an array of housing options, from traditional tenements to grand villas, suiting every stage of life, and is popular with students due to its fantastic proximity to The University of Edinburgh campuses. This diverse demographic is reflected in the dynamic social scene and atmosphere, which is fuelled by an exciting blend of artisan coffee shops, pubs, bars, and cuisine from all corners of the globe. This is heightened further during the summer months when the area is transformed into the beating heart of the Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Newington sits between the much-loved green spaces of Holyrood Park and The Meadows. It is close to public sports facilities at the Royal Commonwealth Pool with its Olympic-size pool, and renowned cultural venues include the Festival Theatre, the Queen's Hall, and the Summerhall multi-arts complex. Residents also enjoy access to an eclectic mix of independent shops, express supermarkets, and high-street retailers along Nicolson Street and South Clerk Street, with further shopping facilities available at nearby Cameron Toll Shopping Centre. Newington is within the catchment area for well-regarded schools and is served by comprehensive public transport links travelling across the city, day and night.
