This immaculately presented main door three bedroom apartment is situated on an elegant, leafy square in Edinburgh's prestigious New Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The stylish, light-filled accommodation is complemented by its tranquil setting, while only a few minutes' walk away from vibrant Broughton Street and St James Quarter. The property's classical Georgian façade has sash and case windows and fanlight door.
Inside, hardwood flooring extends throughout the home. The accommodation comprises of: a beautifully bright sitting room with gas fired stove and surround; very well-equipped, high spec kitchen with seating area and window seat; principal bedroom with built-in wardrobe and luxurious en suite; second double bedroom with bespoke built-in wardrobes; third bedroom, currently used as a dining room; and finally the main bathroom, which benefits from an impressive cast iron roll top bathtub, basin with reclaimed marble surround, and WC. The spacious hallway features a walk-in storage cupboard.
Heating and hot water are provided by a gas central heating system. The traditional sash and case windows have recently been fully refurbished and draught-proofed. The overall block, of which Number 20 forms part, benefits from a property factor who manages communal repairs. The annual service charges are approximately £317.
To the rear of the property, accessed via a shared door on the lower ground level, is the garden, shared only with two other flats. It has great privacy and, with its luscious greenery and quiet seating areas, provides a charming oasis. To the front of the property, Gayfield Square Garden, with its expansive grassy areas, beautiful mature trees and seating, provides a lovely space for residents and is the setting for various get together events organised by Gayfield Square Residents Association.
On-street parking is available by way of a residents parking permit.
