Description

Occupying a generous position within a handsome traditional tenement in the heart of ever-popular Marchmont, this exceptionally spacious three/four-bedroom flat offers an outstanding opportunity to acquire a characterful home in one of Edinburgh's most sought-after residential locations. Retaining a wealth of period charm while offering flexible accommodation, the property is equally well suited to families seeking a long-term home, professionals looking for generous living space, or investors and parents purchasing for children attending Edinburgh's renowned universities. The property also benefits from an HMO licence for four occupants, adding to its versatility and investment appeal.

A welcoming entrance hall, complete with ample storage space, provides access to the accommodation. The elegant bay-windowed lounge is a particularly impressive room, filled with natural light and showcasing many of the property's beautiful original features, including ornate cornicing, a feature fireplace and a traditional Edinburgh press. The spacious kitchen offers ample room for dining and is complemented by a dedicated utility area and a large pantry cupboard, making it a practical and sociable space at the heart of the home.

The property offers flexible bedroom accommodation, with two particularly generous double bedrooms, each retaining feature fireplaces and Edinburgh presses, alongside a comfortable single bedroom, which also benefits from its own feature fireplace. Depending on a purchaser's requirements, the accommodation could easily be configured as either a three-bedroom home with separate lounge or a four-bedroom layout. A contemporary bathroom with a large double shower enclosure completes the accommodation.

Further benefits include gas central heating, traditional sash and case windows, and access to a beautifully maintained shared garden to the rear, providing a peaceful outdoor retreat in the heart of the city.

Marchmont remains one of Edinburgh's most desirable neighbourhoods, celebrated for its striking Victorian architecture, leafy streets and vibrant community atmosphere. The property is just moments from the open green spaces of The Meadows, offering an idyllic setting for walks, cycling, sports and family outings throughout the year. An excellent selection of independent cafés, restaurants, local shops and everyday amenities are all within easy walking distance, while neighbouring Bruntsfield and Morningside provide an even wider choice of boutique shopping and dining.

The location is particularly attractive for families, lying within the catchment area for the highly regarded James Gillespie's Primary School and James Gillespie's High School, while private schooling at the prestigious George Heriot's School is also nearby. Edinburgh city centre is within comfortable walking distance, and the University of Edinburgh main campus is just a short stroll away, making this an exceptional choice for university staff, students and those seeking a strong investment opportunity in a consistently sought-after rental location.

Combining impressive proportions, beautiful period features and an exceptional location, this is a wonderful opportunity to secure a home that offers both timeless character and remarkable flexibility in one of Edinburgh's most established and desirable districts.
