This is an infrequent opportunity to purchase a late Victorian, main door, ground floor, one bedroom tenement flat, in the very popular Shandon district of Edinburgh, approximately one and a half miles south west of the city centre. It would benefit from improvement thus allowing an innovative internal design that would maximise its spatial use and offer a contemporary, easy to live in home.

There is a low stone wall with a privet hedge planted behind it that is the boundary between the pavement and the flat's private front garden. Inside the front door, there is a vestibule that has traditional vertical boarding below the dado rail and a door with a large stain glass lead lighted panel that opens into the hall that gives direct access to all rooms.

The spacious bay windowed living room is west facing and has a press, its original cornice and picture rail, a mantlepiece and a door leading through to the adjoining box room. The large box room that has a second door from the hall sits between the living room and the dining room and has two high level windows in the shared dining room wall that borrow natural light from the dining room. The east facing dining room overlooks the flat's own small back garden, as well as the much larger communal one. It has a built-in corner store cupboard, a press and a mantlepiece and adjoins the kitchen. The kitchen is naturally lit and has a door leading into the back garden.

The double bedroom also overlooks the back garden and is consequently quiet and peaceful. It has a full wall length cupboard with three sliding doors, the central door has an inlaid full-height mirror. The naturally lit bathroom has a three-piece suite with an electric shower over the bath. The flat is heated electrically and has traditional sash and case windows.
The flat has its own private small front and back gardens. The back garden also has a garden shed and a gate leading into the communal garden.

Ashley Terrace lies within Shandon that is a highly sought after district of Edinburgh, established in the 1880's and approximately 1.5 miles south west of the city centre.
