The Stockbridge Colonies are one of Edinburgh’s most beautiful collection of upper and lower villas, superbly situated just a short walk from the cosmopolitan buzz of the heart of Stockbridge. Forming a conservation area, these charming, B-Listed, stone properties boast character and appeal to many.
With a gated entrance to the enclosed, private front garden, the path leads up to the main door of this lovely lower flat. The front door opens on to a vestibule and long hall, connecting with all other rooms including the well-proportioned sitting room which has a fireplace with wood burning stove and louvred windows that offer a pleasant outlook out to the garden. A flexible layout is offered by this property, meaning that if preferred, the sitting room could be used as a large double bedroom.
There is a spacious kitchen dining room which has been fitted with quality units, worktops and integrated appliances. The large double doors by the window, neatly conceal a utility cupboard. Currently used as the main bedroom, the adjoining room has a fitted mezzanine double bed. The shower room off the hall is fully tiled and comes complete with both floor and wall mounted storage cabinets.
The windows are of a single glazed sash and case design and there is gas central heating.
There is a delightful private garden to the front of the property with mature plants, paved seating area, garden shed and wood store.
Permit parking is available on street.
