Description
3 2F Douglas Gardens is a delightful two bedroom apartment forming part of an exclusive B-listed Victorian townhouse in Edinburgh's West End, one of only three properties in the stair. This charming top floor flat retains numerous period features, including working shutters, and further benefits from access to the 4.4 acres of Douglas Gardens, located opposite.
Entering in to a grand shared entrance on the ground floor with ornate cornicing and wood panelling, an attractive staircase ascends to the second floor where the flat is accessed.
To the front of the apartment with impressive south-easterly views over Douglas Gardens is the generously proportioned living room and, adjacent to this, bedroom two.
To the rear of the property is the main bedroom, a well appointed bathroom and the kitchen. These rooms boast elevated rooftop views to the east.
There is, in addition, a box room which would serve well as a study, together with numerous generous store cupboards providing ample storage.
Externally, homeowners gain access (for an approximate fee of £145 per annum) to the exclusive Douglas Gardens,
which roughly cover 4.4 acres, boasting vast manicured lawns, mature woodlands, and idyllic walks by the Water
of Leith.
There is also controlled parking with a residents’ permit directly to the front (Zone 1).
The property would now benefit from modernisation and offers a wonderful opportunity for someone to create a very special apartment in the heart of Edinburgh.
