Albyn Place, Edinburgh EH2

This is an imposing one bedroom flat located in a handsome listed terrace in the heart of the New Town. The flat is accessed via an immaculate, wide staircase up to first floor level.

Formerly law offices of Skene and Peacock, where famous Scottish novelist Robert Lewis Stevenson (notable works including Treasure Island, Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr Hyde) first started his career, the building was fully renovated to the highest of standards in 2016 by Square & Crescent, one of Edinburgh's leading residential developers.

The wonderful open plan living space is flooded with natural light thanks to three large, floor to ceiling sash and case windows. A stunning marble fireplace provides the room with an elegant centre piece and there is intricate overhead cornicing detail highlighted by new feature lighting. Newly added panelling is also of particular note.

The contemporary kitchen is fully fitted with all appliances and the current owner has recently fitted a new splashback.

The excellently proportioned bedroom benefits from a bright southerly aspect and a further marble fireplace. The cleverly designed mezzanine study area is accessed by a wooden ladder. High speed internet is available in the building, making this the ideal work from home space.

The larger than average, double height bathroom is en suite to the bedroom. There is a modern free standing bath, a walk-in shower, a large vanity unit with feature lighting and under floor heating.

Hard wood flooring is fitted within the hallway, living space and WC. Tiles feature in the en suite bathroom, whilst the bedroom and mezzanine study area are fully carpeted.
