Description

Erskine Property are delighted to present this spacious two-bedroom furnished property, occupying an enviable position directly on Edinburgh’s historic Royal Mile.

Set within a striking traditional stone building on the Canongate, the property places you right in the heart of Edinburgh’s Old Town, with an incredible selection of cafés, restaurants, shops and cultural attractions quite literally on the doorstep. Waverley Station, Holyrood, Princes Street and the wider city centre are all within easy walking distance.

Internally, the property offers generous accommodation with a great mix of traditional character and recent upgrades.

The spacious lounge/dining room is positioned to the front of the property and benefits from three large windows overlooking the Canongate, allowing plenty of natural light into what is an excellent everyday living and entertaining space.

The kitchen has recently undergone a substantial refresh, with modern cabinetry, updated worktops and appliances while retaining some of the character of the original property. There is also useful additional worktop/breakfast-bar space.

The principal bedroom is a generous double, with plenty of room for additional bedroom furniture and storage. The second bedroom is also very well proportioned — around the size you would typically expect from a double room — although it is currently furnished with a single bed, making it equally suitable as a guest room, study or home-working space.

The bathroom accommodation has also benefited from recent upgrades and provides both a bath and separate shower enclosure.

Further improvements include brand-new carpets throughout much of the property, giving the accommodation a fresh feel ahead of the new tenancy.

The property is offered furnished and benefits from gas central heating. Resident permit parking is available within the surrounding controlled parking zone, subject to the usual City of Edinburgh Council permit requirements.

For anyone looking to live right in the centre of Edinburgh, it is difficult to find a more iconic location — with the Royal Mile immediately outside the front door and the Old Town, New Town and wider city centre all easily accessible on foot.
