Description

17 Flat 2 Thistle Street is an immaculate two bedroom apartment set on the preferred first floor. The property forms part of a recently refurbished Georgian building and is quietly tucked away on a cobblestoned street.

The property's own front door opens to a welcoming halwayl from which the accommodation flows. The accommodation consists of a sitting room with open plan kitchen, two bedrooms (one of which benefits from an en suite shower room), family bathroom and spacious balcony. With a blend of modern and period features, including sash and case windows, working shutters and coving, the flat is very charming.

The configurations of the open plan sitting room and kitchen flows well, creating the perfect space for sitting and entertaining. Located at the back of the property, the room benefits from two large south facing aspects which bring in an abundance of natural light. With numerous floor and wall based units, the well equipped kitchen houses integrated appliances, including an oven, microwave, full size fridge/freezer and induction hob.

The principal bedroom is located to the front of the property and is generous in size with ample space for storage. There is a modern en suite shower room as well as a private balcony. The second bedroom can be found adjacent to the kitchen/sitting room and is finished with working shutters surrounding a large south facing window. This bedroom is serviced by a well appointed family bathroom suite located off the hallway. Additionally, a useful storage cupboard can also be found in the hall.

Externally, residents can apply for permit parking.

Location

Thistle Street is nestled away from the busy thoroughfares, off a quiet cobbled street, yet is only a few yards away from the retail and commercial centre in George Street and Princes Street.

The property enjoys all the benefits of city centre living with a wide variety of shops, bistros and restaurants on the surrounding streets as well as in the West End and Stockbridge which are both nearby. The new St James Quarter, St Andrews Square and Edinburgh’s Financial District are all on the doorstep.

Waverley and Haymarket train stations are also easily accessible, as is the Tram which connects to Edinburgh International Airport. The open spaces of the Royal Botanic Garden, Inverleith Park and the Water of Leith are all within short walking distance while access to private residents’ gardens at Queen Street Gardens can be gained on subscription.

There is a wide range of schools within easy reach on the north side of the city both in the state and private sectors, including The Edinburgh Academy, Erskine Stewart’s Melville Schools, Fettes College, St George’s School for Girls, George Heriots and George Watsons.

Belford Sports Club is nearby as are a number of Edinburgh's art galleries. There is convenient access westwards to Corstorphine, Edinburgh Park, the city bypass and Edinburgh Airport.

Each reading is based on the highest predicted speed of any major broadband network for services that deliver the download speeds. The following are the different readings that we may display:

    Basic: Up to 30 Mbit/s
    Super-fast: Between 30 Mbit/s and 300 Mbit/s
    Ultra-fast: Over 300 Mbit/s

    Mobile phone signal availability and predicted strength: obtained from Ofcom on November 16, 2022

    Mobile signal predictions are provided by the four UK mobile network operators: EE, O2, Three and Vodafone. Predictions can vary significantly from the coverage you may actually experience as a result of local factors (especially terrain). Ofcom has tested the actual coverage provided in various locations around the UK to help ensure that these predictions are reasonable. The values shown against a property can be broken down as follows:

    Clear: No bars, no signal predicted
    Red: One bar, reliable signal unlikely
    Amber: Two bars, may experience problems with connectivity
    Green: Three bars, likely to have good coverage and receive a data rate to support basic web services
    Enhanced: Full bars, likely to have good coverage indoors and to receive an enhanced data rate to support multimedia services
