3/2 Chessels Court, Edinburgh, EH8 8AD

Description

This impressive first-floor flat forms part of a historic A-Listed building dating from the 1740s, quietly tucked away within a charming courtyard setting, just off the Canongate in the very heart of Edinburgh’s historic Old Town.

Remarkably generous in proportion, the property is flooded with natural light and retains an outstanding wealth of original character and charm, with a superb array of ornate period features throughout. Block 3 comprises of just four flats, with only one property occupying each floor, creating an appealing sense of privacy. The entrance door opens into a delightful, light-filled hallway with front-facing window, excellent storage and access to all rooms. The impressive reception room forms the heart of this fine home. Exceptionally spacious and enjoying a desirable south-facing aspect with a pleasant leafy outlook to the rear, it features a wonderful array of original details including a striking fireplace with decorative mirror surround, traditional Edinburgh press, cornice work and high ceilings. The separate kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base units, integrated electric hob, oven and extractor hood, together with a useful fitted storage cupboard. A further original fireplace with an impressive, intricately detailed decorative wall feature provides a distinctive focal point. The generously proportioned west-facing double bedroom benefits from twin side-facing windows and features a beautiful ornate central mirror surround. A small walk-in wardrobe, complete with front-facing window, is accessed directly from the bedroom and was historically used as a ‘prayer room’, adding an intriguing element to the property’s history. Completing the accommodation is a partially tiled bathroom comprising a white three-piece suite with electric shower over the bath. Further benefits include a secure door entry system, gas central heating and traditional sash and case windows with secondary glazing.

Combining exceptional proportions, outstanding period detailing and a wonderfully peaceful courtyard setting within the enviable Old Town, this distinctive property presents a rare opportunity to acquire a home of genuine character and charm in one of Edinburgh’s most atmospheric settings.

The beautifully maintained leafy courtyard, cared for by the Chessels Court Residents’ Association, provides a peaceful and tranquil green with established borders. Permit parking is available within the vicinity.

About Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents, Edinburgh

162 St. Johns Road Edinburgh EH12 8AZ

Neilsons Solicitors - At Your Service.

Neilsons Solicitors and Estate Agents are a highly innovative and pro-active multi-award-winning client service focused firm that specialise in residential sale and purchase.

No other local firm has won as many major industry awards and accolades as Neilsons in recent years. We are The Scottish Legal Awards' Residential Property Team of the Year 2020, 2021, 2022 & 2023, The Law Awards of Scotland's High Street Firm of the Year 2021 and The Negotiator Awards' Scottish Agency of the Year 2019, 2022 & 2024.

We have over 1250 genuine five-star reviews from happy clients on both Facebook and Google across all our branches which indicate our high levels and dedication to client care and service.

Founded in 1977, Neilsons were one of the first firms in Scotland to open Edinburgh property shops on a friendly shop front basis, rather than an imposing Georgian building.

From the outset, Neilsons sought to redefine property and legal services locally so that we were friendly, accessible, and plain talking. We speak to clients on a friendly, first name basis and we consider our firm to be highly pioneering in terms of innovation in the local property market.

Neilsons are one of Scotland's few 'One-Stop Property Shops'. Not all firms offer the same breadth of expertise in-house as Neilsons do: estate agency, sale and purchase conveyancing, wills, power of attorney, executries and other legal advice is all managed in-house by experts in the relevant field across our numerous property shops throughout Edinburgh and Midlothian.

Our basic philosophy, which regards client service to be of paramount importance, has led to the growth of the firm to the point where we are now one of the biggest Solicitor Estate Agents advertising in East Central Scotland while still retaining the friendly and informal relationship with our clients that has been the trademark of the firm since its inception.

We offer FREE pre-sale appraisals, FREE house doctoring advice and FREE initial sale and purchase legal consultations. We do not charge for Noting Interest or any unsuccessful Offers.

As part of our property sale promotion, you do not have anything to pay anything upfront.
