2 bed Flat For Sale £230,000
West Maitland Street, Edinburgh EH12

This cosy, rear-facing garden flat is very conveniently situated in the heart of Edinburgh’s West End, nearby Haymarket where substantial development is nearing completion. The location offers a multitude of shops and services within a moment’s walk.  Princes Street, the financial district are only a few minute’s walk away and the trams and numerous buses along West Maitland Street provide links into and out of the city.

The property can be entered from West Maitland Street, via the communal hallway that also serves the upper flats, or from the rear, via the private, enclosed garden.  The interior is presented in neutral tones and includes recently fitted coordinating floor coverings.  There is gas central heating and traditional glazing.  Notably for a city centre flat, there is a generously sized, undeveloped, enclosed private garden, accessible via steps from the patio area outside the living room.  The existence of neighbouring developments would suggest that extension of the living space into the garden area might be feasible (subject to consent).  The property offers potential for the new owner to create a very unique environment and is likely to appeal to a wide audience, including investors.

The living room offers an attractive focal point with its gas fired, “living flame” stove with a deep storage recess on each side, all beneath a long mantel shelf.  The outlook to the patio is via French doors ornate wrought iron gates.

The kitchen has fitted base and wall-mounted units in a light oak finish, offering comfortable workspace and storage capacity.  There is a stainless steel gas hob, electric oven & extractor hood, stainless steel sink/drainer, a washing machine and a fridge. Slate tile flooring contrasts the light ambience of the room, lit by directional spot lights.

With modern, white 3-piece sanitary ware, the bathroom also offers an electric shower over the bath and is tiled to wet areas, including the floor.

The central hallway incorporates two sizeable, integrated cupboards, one offering abundant, walk-in storage capacity.  The newly fitted carpeting of the hall extends up the stair to the front door, beyond which is the carpeted communal entrance hall.

Bedroom 1 includes parquet flooring, neutral decor and windows to two sides, one overlooking the patio area, whilst Bedroom 2 is similarly sized and presented and has laminate flooring. Please refer to the floor plan for dimensions.

Exterior: There is a patio area immediately outside the living room and concealed storage space beneath the steps leading to the enclosed elevated garden, which provides significant space and potential for development.
