45/5 Lauderdale Street, Marchmont, Edinburgh, EH9 1DE

The beautifully presented 45/5 Lauderdale Street is a superbly located two bedroom and box bedroom, top (3rd floor flat) forming part of an impressive Victorian traditional tenement building. The property has been lovingly and sympathetically upgraded by the current owners to create stylish, attractive accommodation throughout, elegantly embracing period features with sophisticated style. The home benefits from an East/Westerly orientation with lovely views, so is flooded with natural light and has ample storage for a flat of this type.

The building is entered by way of a gorgeous communal hall and stair which still boasts original wall and terrazzo floor tiling - a fine example of Victorian architecture and artistry. The front door opens onto an airy, spacious hall. A fantastic bay windowed sitting room has a west facing, open outlook, with a handsome fireplace and attractive cornice work creating lovely focal points in the room. A stylish fitted cabinet and shelving flanks one wall.

The heart of the home is the contemporary fitted kitchen / dining room with an engaging series of base mounted cabinets and a wood worktop, incorporating a Neff slide & hide oven and Neff induction hob. The dishwasher, fridge/freezer and separate freezer will also be included in the sale. There is plenty of space for a dining table and chairs, whilst a bright utility area extends the cabinet space and adds further storage, along with a pantry.

There are two lovely, well-proportioned double bedrooms, one to the front of the property (again with an open outlook), the other to the rear. There is also a good sized box bedroom with two overhead skylights (with remote control opening and rain sensors for automatic close).

The sleek family bathroom comprises bath (with rainfall shower over), WC and wash hand basin. Additional cabinetry is below the wash hand basin, within the bathroom mirror and to the side.

Heating and hot water is provided by gas central heating.

To the rear of the property is a well tended shared garden, much loved and enjoyed by the residents of the stair. Plenty of resident’s permit holder parking is available on the street outside.
