Situated on the corner of Valleyfield Street and Leven Terrace, this is a substantial maindoor flat with a superb location just a stone's throw from Edinburgh's much loved Meadows. The property is peacefully located on a quiet, one way street, within a highly desirable residential area which is well-located for quick access to the city centre and nearby Edinburgh University.
Most recently used as a successful rental property, following some modernisation, the flat would also be well-suited to families looking to take advantage of the fantastic location and excellent school catchment. Entered through a vestibule with original tiling, the home benefits from a versatile layout as well as some attractive, retained period features including cornicing and timber flooring. The current layout consists of: a living/dining room with adjoining fitted kitchen; an impressive principal bedroom or potential sitting room with corner bay window; three further double bedrooms and two shower rooms.
The property is fitted with single glazed sash and case windows with working shutters on all street-side windows, and there is gas central heating.
There is a communal garden accessible via a door off the hallway that leads to the communal stair of 7 Leven Terrace. A narrow strip of private garden also wraps itself around the front of the flat.
Permit and metered parking is widely available on the street.
