Set on the upper ground floor of a contemporary development in Canonmills, this immaculately presented flat accommodates a double bedroom, an open-plan living area, and a bathroom, and benefits from a private patio, access to communal outdoor space, and an allocated parking space. The flat will no doubt appeal to first-time buyers, city professionals, couples, and rental investors alike, and has excellent amenities close to hand, including shops, transport links, and scenic open spaces.

The flat’s front door is approached via two secure entrances and a lift or stairs, and you are welcomed inside by a hall with built-in storage, where the first glimpse of the immaculate interiors to follow is given with muted décor and modern wood-styled flooring. Following the hall along to the end, you reach an open-plan kitchen, living, and dining room. Continuing the understated, yet stylish presentation of the hall with the same décor and flooring, the room offers the perfect setting for everyday life and entertaining, with space for lounge furniture alongside a dining are or a home office/study setup, if required. A breakfast bar caters for morning coffee, casual meals, and socialising while cooking, and the well-appointed kitchen includes a wide range of contemporary, glossy cabinetry, spacious worktops, and neatly integrated appliances. These comprise an oven, a hob (with a splashback panel), an extractor fan, a fridge/freezer, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. The room also affords direct access to a private patio with ample space for outdoor seating.

Returning back through the hall, you reach the flat’s double bedroom, where the same neutral décor as the preceding accommodation is accompanied by a fitted carpet for optimum comfort underfoot. Floorspace for bedroom furniture is maximised by a large built-in wardrobe with sliding doors. Finally, a pristine bathroom completes the accommodation on offer and comprises a bath with an overhead shower and a glazed screen, a WC-suite, and a chrome towel radiator. The flat is kept warm by electric heating and benefits from double-glazed windows throughout.

Externally, in addition to the private terraced patio, the flat also enjoys access to a shared terrace and comes with an unallocated parking space.

Extras: all fitted floor coverings, light fittings and integrated kitchen appliances comprising a fridge/freezer, dishwasher, and a washing machine to be included in the sale.
