Property Details

Situated in the centre of Edinburgh, next door to the fashionable St James Quarter, this lovely lower ground flat forms part of this architecturally impressive A-listed traditional stone tenement building and offers well-proportioned accommodation over two levels. The home would benefit from some refurbishment in places, but offers good sized accommodation in a wonderful central location.

The property also has Listed Buildings consent for internal changes to create four bedrooms (one with a en-suite) and a combined kitchen/lounge/dining.

Access to the flat is via a common passage and the front door opens on to the hall, which in turn provides access to all lower ground rooms. The spacious sitting room / dining room benefits from views to the front of the property (with windows that have been recently overhauled and redecorated) and has a timber mantle (with brick insert) that forms an attractive focal point in the room. Between the kitchen and sitting room is a breakfast room, fitted with cupboards and shelving. The fitted kitchen has wall and base mounted cabinetry, worktops and an electric cooker. To the rear of the building are two well proportioned double bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes. The master bedroom has a particularly noteworthy elegant curved wall. The bathroom has a shower over the bath and wash hand basin, whilst the WC benefits from a utility area. A stair leads down to a third bedroom/study area with a storage cupboard and doors to the rear patio area.

Externally, there is a cellar to the front of the building and a private patio area to the rear. There is also a lovely enclosed communal garden to the front of the area.
