Set in the Morningside conservation area, this traditional one-bedroom second floor flat offers an excellent opportunity for refurbishment in one of Edinburgh’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.
Forming part of a handsome Victorian tenement, the property enjoys open views to the front towards Blackford Hill and the Pentland Hills, and is well-placed to take full advantage of Morningside’s fantastic array of amenities, independent shops, cafes, and excellent bus links.
The accommodation would now benefit from comprehensive upgrading throughout but retains period charm and excellent proportions. The main hallway leads to a bright sitting room with bay window, Edinburgh press, elegant cornicing and fireplace. A separate kitchen lies off the hall. To the rear, the double bedroom is quietly positioned with ample room for furniture, as well as large built-in cupboards and a small connecting utility area. The bathroom is currently fitted with a three-piece suite.
The property is fitted with double glazing and gas central heating; however, the boiler has been drained down and no guarantees can be made regarding its working order.
The building benefits from a secure entry system and access to a shared rear garden. Residents’ permit parking is available on the surrounding streets.
