Situated within a handsome A-Listed building in Edinburgh’s prestigious New Town area, 22/1 Nelson Street is an elegant ground floor flat with a desirable corner position. Formerly a commercial premises, the flat was expertly converted by Playfair Properties. It has an attractive façade and welcoming entryway, shared with just one other property.
Inside, the layout is both spacious and practical with a generous sitting/dining room with a bright corner aspect forming the heart of the home. Fitted within the room and throughout the majority of the property is beautiful hardwood flooring. The kitchen, which is positioned off the hall, has ample cabinets and worktop space as well as an oven, electric hob, extractor and slimline dishwasher. A very useful utility space beside the kitchen holds the washing machine, fridge freezer and open shelving.
The bedroom is a well-proportioned double, with the major benefit of a particularly large dressing room with built-in wardrobes, shelving and space for either a chest of drawers or a desk, making it also suitable for home working. Upgraded in 2023 with a new waterfall shower, shower tray and tiling, the shower room is in excellent order and also boasts handy storage within the vanity unit and upper cabinets.
The property is heated by gas central heating operated by a modern boiler, installed in 2023 and serviced annually. Single glazed sash and case with working shutters are fitted throughout. The flat has a secure video entry system and separate alarm providing comfort and reassurance to buyers seeking additional security and peace of mind.
The new owner has the option to apply for access to the lovely private gardens on Drummond Place, for an annual fee. On-Street parking is available by way of a residents' parking permit.
