The well-appointed kitchen and dining area sits slightly below the living space, benefiting from the property's impressive ceiling height and enhanced by a Velux window that floods the area with natural light. Contemporary grey cabinetry provides ample storage while maintaining a sleek aesthetic, and the thoughtful layout accommodates a dining table, creating an ideal space for entertaining or everyday meals with a view of the adjacent living area.

Positioned on a slightly elevated level overlooking the kitchen and dining space, the open plan living area features magnificent views of the neighbouring hill through expansive paned windows. The generous ceiling height creates a sense of space and grandeur, while the elevated position provides a natural division of living zones within the open concept design. Wooden flooring throughout the living and kitchen areas further enhances the charm and style of the space.

The master bedroom occupies a privileged position on the lower floor with a slightly raised level relative to the main living space. Benefiting from impressive high gabled ceilings, this tranquil retreat enjoys spectacular views over Arthur's Seat and Holyrood Park.

The upper level accommodates two distinct bedrooms, each with their own unique character and access. The single bedroom, accessed via a solid oak staircase from the north-eastern side of the property, offers a charming retreat with panoramic views over Arthur's Seat through large paned windows that extend down to the living area below. The spacious double bedroom, reached by a ladder from the office space, features a velux window and, despite its low ceilings, provides generous proportions with additional storage potential in the large attic space that extends across the entire property and is accessible through a ceiling hatch. It offers generous head height ceilings and windows built into the roof, providing scenic views of the park. This area holds potential for future expansion, subject to the relevant planning permission.

The property benefits from additional versatile spaces that enhance its functionality. The lower section of the single bedroom provides an area for a desk and clothing storage, creating a multi-purpose space that can serve as an extension of the bedroom or as a separate living area. Additionally, the compact room below the double bedroom currently functions as an office, offering a quiet workspace separate from the main living accommodation. This space offers brand new carpets that extend across the entire hallway.

Situated between the entrance to the property and the master bedroom, the three-piece shower room presents a contemporary aesthetic with sleek white tiled walls. A distinctive blue glass partition elegantly separates the shower area from the remainder of the space.
