Positioned opposite, the kitchen is well equipped with a range of wall and base units alongside integrated appliances.

There are two well-proportioned double bedrooms, and a modern bathroom sits off the hall, completing the internal accommodation. The property is presented in neutral tones throughout and benefits from gas central heating and double glazing.

Externally, the flat enjoys a shared courtyard with drying facilities, and residents' on-street permit parking within Zone 3.

Set within a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Old Town offers an unrivalled blend of history, culture, and convenience. The property is surrounded by an excellent selection of cafés, bars, restaurants, and boutique shops, while the nearby St James Quarter provides a superb range of high-street and designer retail, dining, and leisure options. Edinburgh Castle, the Scottish Parliament, Holyrood Palace and Park, Arthur's Seat, and Princes Street are all within easy walking distance.

Transport links are first class, with Waverley Station, the tram network, and an extensive bus service all close at hand, making commuting across the city and beyond straightforward.
