In 1894, Sir James Steel, then Edinburgh's most prominent builder, acquired a 33-acre site between Queensferry Road and Comely Bank, transforming it into an attractively laid-out estate of four-storey tenements. Comely Bank Road, forming the estate's northern boundary, is a natural extension of Raeburn Place, the main thoroughfare of Stockbridge-a historic, charming, and highly desirable area of Edinburgh.
79/6 Comely Bank Road is a beautifully presented third-floor two-bedroom flat. A secure entrance at street level leads to a traditional communal stairway, guiding you to the flat's own front door. The hallway is welcoming, featuring a wooden boarded floor, dado rail, and a handy built-in cupboard, and provides access to all principal rooms.
The generous living room boasts a bay window overlooking Comely Bank Road and offers views of Fettes College, "undeniably one of Scotland's greatest buildings." Period features include a wooden boarded floor, dado rail, corniced ceiling, traditional fireplace with flame gas fire, and an attractive arched alcove.
The bright kitchen, overlooking the rear garden, is spacious enough for a dining table and chairs. It is fitted with floor and wall-mounted storage, work surfaces with tiled splashbacks, and a combination of integrated, slot-in, and freestanding appliances. A large box room, benefitting from borrowed south-facing light via a high-level internal window, provides an ideal home office.
Accommodation is completed by two comfortable double bedrooms, the master with a built-in cupboard, and a naturally lit, tiled bathroom with a three-piece suite and shower over the bath. As a top-floor flat, it also benefits from substantial attic space, currently used for storage but with potential for alternative uses.
Modern comforts include a recently installed combi gas-fired central heating boiler and upgraded electrical wiring. Double glazing is fitted to the front windows, and residents have access to a communal rear garden.
Area:
Comely Bank Road is located on the western boundary of Stockbridge.
