Property description
Unique, spacious and well-presented, one-bedroom ground-floor flat, part of a modern conversion of the former, stone-built, Kier Hardy Memorial Hall, in the heart of Edinburgh's popular and thriving Polwarth. With natural wood flooring throughout, and some fine architectural features, it consists of a large living/dining room, mezzanine kitchen, double bedroom, internal hallway, bathroom and an exceptionally spacious boxroom. Features include traditional, wood-framed, single glazed, sash and case windows, with an arched window to the front, gas central heating, excellent storage, cable TV and phone points. There are shared garden grounds to the rear, well maintained garden to the front, and ample permit on-street parking. Polwarth, and the adjacent districts of Merchiston, Bruntsfield and Morningside, offer an eclectic mix of small speciality shops, bars, bistros, and restaurants. A selection of supermarkets, the Fountain Park leisure complex, the Usher Hall, the Kings, Traverse, Lyceum and Church Hill Theatres, and the Odeon and Dominion Cinemas, all lie within a short radius. Recreational facilities include the walking spaces of the Union Canal, Bruntsfield Links and the Meadows, various public swimming baths, and private health clubs. The area is in close proximity to both Edinburgh and Napier Universities and is also within the catchment area for Boroughmuir High and Bruntsfield Primary School. Area is served by a regular bus service which operates to the city centre and beyond, with Haymarket station and its adjacent tram stop also being within easy reach.
