With the dramatic backdrop of Edinburgh Castle, this is a traditional stone-clad first floor, two-bedroom flat, situated close to Kings Stables Road on the north side of the iconic and world famous Grassmarket, in the heart of the capital's Old Town.

The flat forms part of a Category B listed, four-storey tenement with shops and commercial premises at street level, as is the norm, that was built circa 1880. In one of the most amenity rich areas of the city and competitively valued, it presents an ideal opportunity for either a purchaser, perhaps looking for a pied-à-terre, or an investor.

The flat's front door opens into the hall that has a further inner hall that has a built-in store cupboard. The living room overlooks the Grassmarket and is spacious enough to accommodate both sitting and dining areas. It has a large built-in corner cupboard which houses the combi-boiler and a fireplace with feature insert. The naturally lit kitchen adjoins the living room; it is fully serviced with a selection of white goods (sold as seen).

There are two comfortable double bedrooms that are accessed from the inner hall; they are both large enough to accommodate all the furniture required and the larger one has a built-in wardrobe. The naturally lit bathroom is partially tiled and has a three-piece suite with a shower over the bath.

The flat has gas fired central heating and traditional sash & case windows. Both permit and pay & display on-street parking are situated conveniently close.

Location:
The historic Grassmarket is world famous. Set below Edinburgh Castle and within the World Heritage site, it exemplifies the vibrancy and fascination of the thriving Old Town of Edinburgh.

Nowadays the Grassmarket is pedestrianised to recreate its original use as a market square. It and the surrounding area throng with pavement cafes, restaurants, bars and an eclectic mix of interesting shops and boutiques. A walk-up Victoria Street leads to the head of the Royal Mile and Edinburgh Castle and a choice of some of Scotland's most appealing and iconic cultural attractions.

The Meadows are nearby and the nightlife of the popular Cowgate and the shops of Princes Street are both easily reached.

Very efficient public bus services operate, from the Grassmarket, across the city and the City Bypass and main motorway networks are also within easy reach and Waverley Station is a short walk.
