This top-floor flat forms part of a converted terraced villa, which enjoys an idyllic position by the River Esk in Musselburgh’s picturesque conservation area. Set within easy reach of excellent amenities, regular transport links, and the beach, the home offers a highly desirable setting. It is comprised of a southeast-facing living room, a dining kitchen, two double bedrooms, and a bathroom, and it has access to private parking. Whilst the property would benefit from modernisation, it has light interiors for buyers to easily add their own stamp.

Accessed from Market Street (through an archway), the flat is reached via a secure shared entrance and a stairwell, with the front door opening into a central hall with generous cloak storage. On the left is the living room, which has spacious dimensions to accommodate lounge furniture. It has a bright southeast-facing aspect, and is ideal for everyday use, whether relaxing or socialising. Next door, the dining kitchen is fitted with a range of cabinets and worksurface space, offering excellent scope for a contemporary upgrade. It has room for a table and chairs and for freestanding appliances. The two double bedrooms are on the opposite side of the hall, both enjoying light décor, fitted carpets, and built-in mirrored wardrobes to maximise the useable floorspace. The two rooms also benefit from spacious proportions to accommodate a good selection of bedside furniture. A bright three-piece bathroom completes the home. The property has double-glazed windows to the front and electric heating. Outside, the property has private residents’ parking and a delightful riverside setting. Extras: to be sold as seen. EPC D
