The front door opens into the hall that affords access to every room and is welcoming, with a wooden boarded floor, dado rail and useful built-in cupboard. The large living room has a bay window, overlooking Comely Bank Road and offers views of Fettes College, "undeniably one of Scotland's greatest buildings''; it has a wooden boarded floor, dado rail and corniced ceiling.
There is a traditional fireplace containing a flame gas fire and an attractive arched top alcove to its left. The bright kitchen overlooks the back garden and is large enough to accommodate a dining table and chairs. It has both floor and wall mounted storage, work surfaces with tiled splash backs and a mixture of integrated, slot-in and free-standing appliances. A large box room, with borrowed south facing light from a high-level internal window, makes an ideal home office. Two comfortable double bedrooms, the master having built-in cupboards and a naturally lit, tiled bathroom with three-piece suite and shower over the bath complete the accommodation. Being top floor, the flat has its own attic space that is spacious, both in height and useable floor space. Currently used for additional storage but an owner could look at alternative uses.
A new combi gas-fired central heating boiler has recently been installed and the electrical wiring has also been upgraded and renewed. Double glazing is fitted to the windows to the front of the flat. There is a communal rear garden.
Area:
Comely Bank Road is immediately adjacent to fashionable Stockbridge that is a community within the New Town of Edinburgh; both are famous for their iconic status, historic character and immense desirability and Edinburgh's city centre, with all it has to offer, is only half a mile away.
Stockbridge provides an infinite choice of small independent shops and boutiques, galleries and restaurants, eateries and bars and there is as a Waitrose on Comely Bank Road and both an M&S and Sainsbury's at Craigleith Retail Park.
Leisure and recreation are well catered for with Inverleith Park, the Water of Leith Walkway, the Royal Botanic Garden and Glenogle Swimming pool all within easy reach. Access to the City By-pass, leading to Edinburgh International Airport, the Queensferry Crossing and the central belt motorway system, is easily reached by the Queensferry Road.
