94/3 Spring Gardens, Abbeyhill, Edinburgh, EH8 8HX

This unique three bedroom flat forms part of a peaceful development which borders Holyrood Park and sits just a ten minute walk from the bottom of the Royal Mile. Spring Gardens is a truly unique location that provides quick access to city centre amenities yet with the benefit of extensive parkland on the doorstep. The propertyforms part of a handsome building, which is C-Listed and contains just six flats. It is notable due to its North European design and red brick building material which is rarely found in Edinburgh architecture. The building also has historical significance as prior to its conversion into flats, it acted as the nurses' quarters for the neighbouring Elsie Inglis Memorial Hospital (now a care home).

Quietly situated on the top (second) floor, the flat has a triple aspect, with wonderful views towards Arthur's Seat. The windows face east, south and west, which make it a particularly bright and sunny home that enjoys beautiful sunrises.

The accommodation comprises; a spacious, dual aspect sitting room with ample room for dining furniture; a fitted kitchen with shaker style cabinetry and integrated appliances; two double bedrooms both with built-in mirrored wardrobes; a large single bedroom which is currently used as a home office; and a modern bathroom with stylish black matt fittings including a luxurious waterfall shower.

A substantial loft is accessed from a hatch in the hall and offers extensive storage space.At the top of the communal stair is a large landing area which belongs solely to this property.

Heating and hot water are provided by a gas central heating system (boiler replaced just two years ago) and double glazing is fitted throughout.

The property comes with an allocated parking space. A well-kept communal garden wraps around the building and is maintained by the factor. For a quick route to Holyrood Park, there is a gate nearby that leads straight into the north side of the park.

The factor for the development is Myreside Management and the quarterly service charges are approximately £258 which includes buildings insurance.
