A Highly Attractive Main Door Gable-End Flat Offering Spacious and Well-Appointed Accommodation in a Neighbourly Location Convenient for Schools, Shopping and Transport..

Set within an appealing blonde & red sandstone tenement, this beautifully presented main-door flat enjoys a peaceful yet highly convenient position in the established Willowbrae neighbourhood, moments from Holyrood Park. The property offers a superb balance of generous proportions, period character, and thoughtful modern upgrades, making it a particularly appealing home for families, professionals, or anyone seeking quality space within easy reach of the city centre.

Accommodation

The accommodation is immediately welcoming, entered via a traditional tiled vestibule leading to the inviting hallway that offers three integrated cupboards and access to all rooms. A striking bay-windowed living room sets the tone, enhanced by polished floorboards, ornate cornicing, a working fireplace with an impressive stone mantle, plus tasteful plantation shutters that complement the home’s light, neutral décor. Gas central heating (a modern combi boiler, installed only 2 years ago), double glazing and underfloor insulation ensure energy efficiency and comfort year-round.

The large kitchen is both stylish and practical, fitted with attractive units offering abundant storage and workspace, plus a dining recess. Integrated appliances include a gas hob, electric oven, dishwasher, and full-height fridge-freezer, while a Belfast style sink adds a touch of period charm. A generous walk-in pantry and traditional Edinburgh press provide further integrated storage and flexibility. Off the kitchen, a bright utility room includes a second deep sink, space for laundry appliances, and a useful clothes pulley, plus access direct to the enclosed rear garden.

There are two comfortable double bedrooms, the larger enjoying a quiet gable-end outlook and presently accommodating a super-king bed and furnishings. The second double bedroom lies to the front and features a clever built-in mezzanine alcove for storage or an occasional bed. A third bedroom overlooks the garden and offers flexibility as a nursery, study, or guest room.

The recently renewed bathroom combines classic simplicity with modern comfort, including sleek white sanitaryware, rainfall shower over bath, concealed drawer storage, and coordinated wall and floor tiling.

Exterior

To the rear, the southerly-facing private garden provides a sunny, low-maintenance outdoor space with patio area, raised flower beds, and a secure shed. A modest front garden enhances the building’s kerb appeal.
