Body

Introducing a main-door ground-floor flat that forms part of a sought-after contemporary development in Edinburgh’s exclusive Fettes area. This beautiful two-bedroom home is presented in move-in condition, offering fashionable interiors that are finished to high standards. It further boasts a sociable open-plan reception area with a premium kitchen, a private patio, and a quality en-suite and family bathroom. It also benefits from private residents’ parking and a cobbled area at the front of the property, ideal for enjoying the afternoon sun. Altogether, this exceptional property is sure to be in very high demand amongst a wide variety of buyers.

Accessed via a secure video-phone entry system, the home’s private front door opens with a warm welcome to a stylish hall with two built-in store cupboards. At the end of the hall is the open-plan kitchen, living and dining room which spans the width of the property, providing a spacious reception area for daily use. Crisp neutral décor enhances the room, along with a hardwood floor and a tasteful accent wall that frames the modern kitchen. The kitchen further complements the aesthetic with a Shaker-inspired design, incorporating white cabinets and wooden worktops, as well as a central island. Under-unit lighting allows for ambient moods, whilst integrated appliances ensure a seamless finish (oven, gas hob, slimline extractor, fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and washing machine). There is lots of floorspace for lounge furniture and a table and chairs, and the room extends out via sliding doors onto a private patio that is laid with a generous deck – perfect for relaxing in the sun. Meanwhile, the two double bedrooms continue the hardwood floor, pairing it with sunny yellow décor for a light and inviting ambience. Both rooms have built-in wardrobes for added practicality, freeing floorspace for study areas and additional furnishings. The principal bedroom also boasts a modern three-piece en-suite shower room. Finishing the home is an on-trend family bathroom, enveloped in mosaic-style tiles. It features a white three-piece suite, comprised of a hidden-cistern toilet, a half-pedestal washbasin (below a large fitted mirror), and a bath with an overhead shower. Gas central heating and double glazing ensure year-round comfort.

In addition to the generous private patio and a sunny, cobbled private area, homeowners also enjoy use of a large, carefully landscaped communal garden. Furthermore, the development provides private residents’ parking. 

Extras: all fitted floor and window coverings, light fittings, and integrated kitchen appliances to be included in the sale.

Factor: the development is factored by Speirs Gumley for the approximate monthly cost of £150. This fee covers the upkeep of communal areas, the shared garden, and block buildings insurance.
