Situated in the popular and desirable district of Polwarth, on the doorstep of Fountain Park and close to The Union Canal and Henderson Park and approximately one and a half miles south west of Edinburgh's city centre, this two bedroom, ground floor flat, forming part of a factored contemporary development (built in 1990) offers an exceptional opportunity for a first time purchase, a pied-à-terre in a strategic part of the Capital or a lucrative investment.

The flat has been in the same ownership for several years and would benefit from updating, allowing the opportunity for an innovative approach to decorative interpretation and spatial use.

Entry to the communal areas is protected by a security phone system. The flat's front door opens into the hall that has a good sized cupboard that houses the water tank and hot water cylinder. The twin windowed living room is large enough to accommodate both sitting and dining areas and has a door opening into the adjoining kitchen that is naturally lit.

The principal bedroom has a built-in wardrobe that stretches the entire width of the room; the second bedroom would also make an ideal office, if required. The naturally lit bathroom has a three piece suite. The flat is double glazed and has electric heating.

The development has established communal grounds and its own unallocated private parking.

Managed by Trinity Factors, the annual charge is thought to be approx. £650.00 that includes building insurance. Perspective buyers should confirm up to date factoring costs via their solicitor during the conveyancing.

Location:
Approximately one and a half miles south west of the city centre, the popular Polwarth district offers a variety of local shops and amenities with a broader choice available in neighbouring Bruntsfield and Morningside, both offering a vibrant mix of retailers (Co-op in Bruntsfield and M&S and Waitrose in Morningside), independent shops, artisan cafés, and excellent restaurants.

Fountain Park, on Dundee Street, features restaurants, bars, a multiplex cinema and leisure facilities and Edinburgh Quay with its wealth of waterside bars, bistros and restaurants are both nearby. The Union Canal with its footpath and Henderson Park are both excellent recreational facilities, offering walking, running, and cycling routes. Craiglockhart Tennis and Leisure Centre is nestled at the foot of Craiglockhart Hill and offers five indoor acrylic hard courts and six outdoor all-weather courts including the famous stadium centre court, courts for other racket games and a gym.

Schooling is well catered for, with reputable local primary and secondary schools, including Craiglockhart Primary School and George Watsons College. Edinburgh Napier University and the University of Edinburgh are both within easy reach.

Polwarth has excellent public transport services, with regular buses to the city centre and beyond and Haymarket Station and its accompanying tram stop are just a short distance away. The City Bypass is nearby and leads to Edinburgh International Airport and the M8, M9 and M90 motorway network.
