Lochrin Place, Edinburgh, EH3

The exciting opportunity has arisen to purchase this spacious one bed home in the heart of the ever-popular Tollcross area. On the second floor and to the south, facing to the rear, the flat enjoys brightness and warmth away from the bustle of the city streets, with tall sash windows (double in the lounge) filling the flat with light.

The rooms are spacious, starting with the long entrance hallway with a space for coats and shoes and two substantial cupboards and then opening to all rooms. The living room has a modern well fitted Howdens kitchen with timber worktop, set into the deep recess. This opens onto the ample comfortable living room which sports a 30s tiled fireplace as a focal feature. There's a wall press cupboard housing a modern insulated water heater/tank and linen airing shelf and a further deep shelved cupboard with a light. 

The double bedroom is spacious too with distinct areas for the bedroom furnishings and currently book shelving and study desk in the recess area. There is also a boxroom off the hallway which offers flexibility and creative scope (2.1m X 1.91m), eg. as a spare bedroom/study with high bed and with desk and shelving below or as a simple study or storage. It has a fanlight to the hallway above the door. The bathroom is fitted with basin, wc and bath with electric shower above. A new 'tilt and turn' PVC double glazed window was fitted 2 years ago in preparation for further updating of the bathroom in due course.The original hardwood single glazed windows were some years ago professionally draught proofed and refurbished. They might now benefit from some refresh maintenance and the external cills need replacing and repointing. There is still mains gas into the property though now the property operates all electrically. There are independent programmable electric radiators in each room.

The property further benefits from shared drying area and on street parking with permit option.

Lochrin Place, just off the main hub of Tollcross is in the heart of city life. The flat, facing to the rear offers a contrasting peace to the buzz. The immediate surrounding area is a cultural hub, with the Cameo Cinema opposite, The Kings Theatre round the corner and the Usher Hall, Lyceum and many clubs, eateries and pubs nearby. The immediate shops include picture gallery, bead shop, vinyl record specialist, pottery and tattoo artist. Food shopping is also just around the corner and niche shopping up the road in Bruntsfield and Morningside with the big retailers down the road in Princes Street. All within walking distance and with buses to all parts of the city round the corner. Located here, wrapped in stone on 3 sides, facing the sun all day and sandwiched between other flats, this traditional tenement home is cosy and characterful.
