3 bedroom flat for sale

Marchmont is one of Edinburgh's most popular residential area, offering impressively proportioned Victorian stone built properties bursting with character and period features. This superbly situated, spacious and well-presented first floor flat is no exception, offering charming and engaging spaces. The home has flexible accommodation and can be used as either a 3-bedroom flat (for which the previous owners had an HMO licence – now lapsed), or a generous 2-bedroom flat. It has been much loved and enjoyed by the same family since 2004 but is now ready for its next exciting period of ownership.

Accessed by way of an attractive shared entrance with original tiling, the front door opens onto a beautiful hall with elegant wood flooring underfoot and two storage cupboards. There is a spacious living room / kitchen to the rear, flooded with morning sunshine (in good weather) from its south facing aspect. Extensive wall and base mounted cabinetry with ample worktop space incorporate a gas hob, electric oven, extractor hood, washing machine, fridge, freezer and dishwasher. A comfortable living area is also located here along with an ever practical pantry cupboard.

Double bedroom one is an impressive, generously proportioned, bay windowed room with a fine cornice and picture rail overhead, whilst the beautiful wood flooring continues here. A fireplace and press cupboard create attractive focal points. There are two further well-sized double bedooms, both with outlooks to Warrender Park Road. A characterful bathroom with lovely blue panelling and a white suite completes the internal accommodation, offering a bath with a mains powered shower over, wash hand basin and WC. Heating and hot water are provided by gas central heating (new boiler 2024).

Externally there is a south facing shared garden to the rear of the property, mainly laid with lawn. There is also a separate store belonging to this property in the communal hall. Residents' permit holder parking is available on the street outside.

Location

Marchmont is a leafy residential area south of Edinburgh's City Centre. Moments from The Meadows, the property enjoys access to peaceful walks and far-reaching cycling routes as well as coffee shops and independent boutiques. Discover excellent recreational amenities at the newly-refurbished Warrender Swim Centre with its heritage Victorian pool and state-of-the-art fitness gym or at one of the numerous yoga studios. Practice your swing on The Links - home to the world's first club house. For everyday shopping, there is a conveniently located Margiotta across the road, along with a Sainsburys, local fishmonger and greengrocer nearby.

Further private school choices such as George Heriot's School and George Watson's College are also within walking distance.
