Beautifully proportioned and well presented ground and first floor apartment with private garden.

Description

14a Merchiston Avenue is a wonderful ground and first floor apartment within a converted, stone built semi-detached villa. The property, situated in the sought after residential area of Merchiston, boasts a delightful south west facing garden at the rear, as well as access to the shared garden at the front of the property.

The property is in excellent decorative order and the renovations have been completed with sensitivity towards the many fine original proportions and features.

The property is approached via a stone path leading to the main door which is only shared with one other. The flat's own front door opens into a spacious hallway, with double bedroom and WC located on this level. The bedroom is generous in size with double sash and case windows looking out onto the garden at the front.

Stairs rise to the impressive hall from which the accommodation flows. A cleverly designed skylight floods the hallway with natural light, creating a bright and airy feel.

Of particular note on this level is the charming living room with central wood-burning stove, elaborate cornicing, and bay window overlooking the front garden. The room is flooded with natural light throughout the day, with the elevated position adding to a feeling of privacy. There is ample space for table and chairs, making for a fantastic space for both relaxing and entertaining.

The principal bedroom can be found at the rear enjoying a south west facing peaceful and leafy outlook over the private garden. The room is generous in size with useful built in storage space, as well as access to its own Jack and Jill en suite bathroom. The bathroom is luxurious in feel with dual sink, ornate tiling, large bath, and convenient storage including a concealed utility sink. Also located to the rear is the formal dining room with a multi-fuel stove. This offers flexible accommodation in that it could be used as a further bedroom. Across the hallway, the final bedroom can be found. This room is currently being used as a home office space but would also comfortably fit a double bed. The accommodation on this level is serviced by a well-appointed shower room with WC.

Completing the property is the modern and contemporary kitchen that has been finished to a high specification with spacious worktop space, a number of integrated appliances, along with an array of wall and base units. The clever configuration of the room sees ample space for table and chairs.

Externally, the large rear garden is private and secure, with a high stone wall, two sheds and a wood store, large lawn and patio area, as well as a variety of colourful shrubs within the flowerbeds. Furthermore, there is access to the shared garden at the front of the property.

Residents permit parking is available upon application.
