1 bed Flat For Sale £145,000
4 3F3 Salmond Place (off London Road), Abbeyhill, Edinburgh EH7 5ST

This top floor flat (40 sqm) would be a perfect ‘first step’ on Edinburgh’s property ladder and is equally suitable as a convenient Pied a Terre or investment opportunity. The building is quietly located at a slightly lower level than London Street and right beside the peaceful Abbeyhill Colonies. It is a classic previously refurbished stone tenement (comprising 16 flats) thought to date back to 1890. Flat 15 has character but would greatly benefit from cosmetic improvements including a repair to one ceiling (which occured 5 years ago prior to a major roof repair). Original features including stripped floors, sash-and-casement windows, cornicing and panelled doors have been retained. There is a classic living/dining room having an original fireplace and an access doorway into the internal fitted kitchen featuring gas hob and hood. The bedroom is a double and there is also a shower room with white fittings. Gas central heating is installed.

There is an enclosed communal garden to the rear of the building.

Lying parallel to London Road, Salmond Place adjoins Abbeyhill Colonies which has charming gardens and a distinctive linear street pattern. Although a predominantly urban area surrounded by shops, pubs, cafes and restaurants, it is surprisingly quiet. The very modern Meadowbank sports stadium and Holyrood Park are both around 0.5 mile away. A very wide choice of buses provide easy access across the City and even down to East Lothian.

The oven, gas hob, washing machine, fridge/freezer are included in the sale price.
