This beautifully presented maindoor, B-Listed, garden flat is positioned on a quiet crescent within the prestigious West End of Edinburgh. The property's location, despite being central and very well-connected by transport links, is extremely peaceful thanks to its enviable position, off the main road and elevated above the tranquil Water of Leith.
From street level, the property is reached via a gated entryway and a series of steps that lead down to private courtyard area. The front door opens onto a handy vestibule and a long hall which in turn, provides access to all rooms. Well-set out to take advantage of the south facing aspect, the elegant twin windowed sitting room with fireplace, and the kitchen/dining room are both situated to the rear of the home and are bathed filled in natural light. The contemporary kitchen has wall and base mounted cabinetry, ample worktops, integrated appliances and direct access to the garden. The appliances comprise of; 5-ring gas hob, extractor hood, oven, microwave and dishwasher.
There are two double bedrooms both situated to the front of the property, and with the principal bedroom benefitting from its own en suite shower room. There is also a bathroom which is in-keeping with the style of the en suite, but has a bath, overhead electric shower, wash hand basic and WC. Storage throughout the property is excellent and is complemented by a highly versatile box room which is currently set up as a single guest room.
A real feature of this home, and certainly the most rarely available, is the wonderful south facing, enclosed, walled rear private garden. The lower levels of the garden has been landscaped and tiered whilst the top section has a lovely, manicured lawn and a deck, offering a fantastic selection of vantage points to sit and enjoy the outdoors.
Externally, to the front of the property are three private cellars, two of which have been drylined, one of which currently serves as a utility room. Resident’s permit holder and metered parking is available on the street outside. For a small fee, access for residents is also available to the beautiful Douglas Crescent Gardens situated just across the road, on the banks of the Water of Leith.
