Property description
**CLOSING DATE SET WEDNESDAY 11 NOVEMBER @ 12 NOON** Tastefully-presented, light and exceptionally spacious, four bedroom flat on the top (3rd floor) of a traditional, stone-built, Victorian end-terrace tenement with views to Edinburgh Castle and the Pentland Hills, centrally located in Edinburgh's popular Polwarth. The building has been well maintained, with work to the guttering, and a pitched roof replacement, carried out in recent years. Internally, the flat has been significantly upgraded, including rewiring, new boiler and radiators, new bathroom, new carpets and fresh decor throughout. The flexible accommodation consists of an entrance hall, bay living room, dining kitchen, four double bedrooms and bathroom. Rich in traditional features, including ornate plasterwork, fireplaces and panelled woodwork, it benefits from sash and casement windows, gas central heating, secure entry system and excellent storage, including a loft, offering conversion potential. There are delightful, well-tended, enclosed, south-facing, shared gardens to the rear, and ample permit on-street parking to the front. 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 a regular bus service operates to the city centre and beyond, with Haymarket station and its adjacent tram stop also being within easy reach.
