Description

Rarely available, spacious, and full of character, this flexible three-bedroom, dual-aspect flat is set on the first floor of a traditional stone-built tenement. Located just off the Royal Mile, in the heart of the city centre, this property is part of Edinburgh's vibrant, historic, and world-renowned Old Town. The welcoming entrance hall leads through to a delightful rear-facing living room, tastefully decorated and enjoying attractive leafy outlooks. Character is evident throughout, with a striking decorative fireplace, traditional Edinburgh press, carpeted flooring and contemporary lighting creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. Positioned off the lounge is a versatile room, ideal as a guest bedroom, home office or study, also benefiting from peaceful views to the rear. The stylish kitchen is accessed from the living room and has been thoughtfully fitted with modern units, stone-effect worktops and tiled splashbacks. Further features include a sink with a drainer, an integrated oven and gas hob, bespoke shelving and an open built-in cupboard. There is ample space for dining and freestanding appliances, while a separate utility cupboard provides valuable additional storage and practicality. Located on the opposite side of the property are two well-proportioned double bedrooms. The main bedroom is finished in light, neutral décor and features carpeted flooring, a wall-mounted TV point and a built-in wardrobe. Bedroom two is equally well presented, with tasteful décor, carpeted flooring and the added benefit of a walk-in dressing area. Completing the accommodation is a stylish contemporary bathroom, fitted with a modern three-piece suite incorporating a rainfall shower over the bath, attractive wall panelling and a ladder-style radiator.

Edinburgh's Old Town is a vibrant and central World Heritage Site, offering a wide variety of amenities, facilities and attractions. Just a few hundred yards from the city centre, it is close to iconic landmarks such as Edinburgh Castle, St Giles Cathedral, the Grassmarket, the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood Park, and Arthur's Seat. The Royal Mile is a bustling thoroughfare lined with numerous bars, restaurants, bistros, cafés, and speciality shops. Major shopping streets like Princes Street and George Street are within easy walking distance, as are key travel hubs including Waverley Railway Station, St Andrew's Square, and York Place, providing excellent connections for onward travel.
