1/5 Thistle Place, Viewforth, Edinburgh, EH11 1JH

Blink and you may miss the entrance to 1/5 Thistle Place, tucked away on a tranquil street just a stone’s throw from the beautiful Union Canal waterfront. Forming part of a traditional tenement building, this charming flat has been a much-loved home since the 1980s and has been carefully maintained and upgraded over the years. Now ready for its next chapter, the property offers a comfortable and well-proportioned home in a wonderfully peaceful setting.

The bright and well-proportioned living room enjoys an outlook to the front of the property, creating a comfortable space in which to relax and unwind. Open plan to the living area, the practical kitchen is fitted with a range of wall and base-mounted cabinetry, generous worktop space and appliances including an electric hob, oven, washing machine and fridge, providing everything required for everyday living.

There are two comfortable double bedrooms, both enjoying an outlook to the front and enhanced by attractive cornicing which adds character and charm. A shower room and separate WC provide useful facilities, while the lowered ceiling within the hallway creates valuable overhead storage space.

To the rear, there is a shared garden accessed via the communal hall. Residents’ permit holder parking is available on the street outside.
