This beautifully presented duplex apartment is accessed via the ground floor of this well designed development in popular Colinton with very convenient bus links. The apartment features comfortable, flexible accommodation with high-quality fittings and neutral styling throughout, while enjoying a splendid setting beside the Water of Leith and within easy reach of the beautiful Pentland Hills.

The main everyday living and entertaining space is on the ground floor, where there is a well-proportioned sitting room with French doors opening onto the full length private balcony, as well as a useful additional bedroom, dining room or study for home working. The large kitchen and breakfast room is fitted with storage units to base and wall level, as well as integrated appliances, with the adjoining utility room offering further space for storage and appliances.
Three bedrooms are located on the lower level and all benefit from the tranquil sounds of the Water of Leith close by and two with integrated cupboards. They include a generous principal bedroom with its additional wardrobe, luxury en-suite bathroom including a freestanding roll-top bathtub and a separate shower unit. In addition, the lower level has a shower room and storage room which complements the ample storage rooms on the ground floor.

The apartment building is set in a secluded position with communal gardens, surrounded by woodland and backing onto the gently flowing Water of Leith, which the balcony overlooks. The apartment has a convenient large garage integrated into the main building itself and easily accessed for secure parking, home storage or gym.

The property is set in a desirable position in the southwest of Edinburgh, within the conservation village of Colinton just moments from beautiful surrounding countryside, yet within easy reach of the city centre. Bus access is incredibly convinient via a short walk to the Muirend Avenue stop and the 44 Bus is then a 28 minute ride (Google Maps) to Princess Street.

The stunning landscapes of the Pentland Hills are on the property’s doorstep, providing plenty of walking and cycling routes, while local amenities are within walking distance including Spylaw Park and Colinton Village with its Co-op, library, health centre and pharmacy along with various pubs and restaurants. A large supermarket can also be found near Colinton Mains. Juniper Green is also close-by providing a variety of local shops, cafés and restaurants.

With respect to schooling, both Heriot-Watt and Napier Universities are nearby and schooling also includes the well regarded Bonaly Primary School and Firrhill High School. Edinburgh also has a number of private schooling options including Merchiston Castle School, which is a pleasant and convenient walk away along the Water of Leith, and George Watson’s College.

The vibrant city centre offers first-class shopping, leisure and cultural attractions and a wealth of excellent bars and restaurants. Edinburgh also offers great transport connectivity, with Edinburgh Waverley station providing services towards London. By road, the A720/City of Edinburgh Bypass is easily accessible.
