The property

" " This imposing building which fronts onto Lothian Road was once an office block occupied by the tax collectors. In the 1980s, it was converted into flats with a swimming pool and gym in the basement. Since then it has been perennially popular with young professionals who work in the city centre or in and around the Fountainbridge and Tollcross areas, which have seen something of an explosion of new office blocks. This flat is on the top floor, with lift access. Lying at the rear of the building, it has a westerly aspect so sunlight floods in by the large windows in the Lounge and the Bedroom. The flat has gas central heating and is double glazed – in fact all the windows were replaced at considerable expense in autumn 2012. Other work carried out in the flat in the past 18 months includes a new shower installation, a new hot water tank, a new fridge-freezer, a new washer/dryer, and a new electric hob. The flat has lately been tenanted and would make a good addition to someone’s portfolio, given its proximity to nearby offices and the attraction of the pool downstairs. It is also a good flat for those who look to be owner occupiers, as it has generous proportions, particularly when compared to the typical one-bed tenement flats in the immediate locality

  • Hall / Landing

    There is a secure entry system at the front door from Lothian Road ,adjacent to the cinema. The hallway, which is carpeted, leads up a short flight of steps to the lift and the stairwell. This flat is on the 4th floor. This gives access to all the rooms in the flat – the kitchen has its own door as well as access from the Lounge. There are two useful storage cupboards, one with the hot water tank, the other offering good storage space . There is also some roof space.

  • Lounge

    5.2 m X 4.22 m / 17'1" X 13'10"

    This is a very generous space, with a huge bank of windows looking west. There is a gas fire (with back boiler) Cream berber style carpet, burgundy velvet curtains, fully lined.

  • Kitchen

    3.6 m X 2.2 m / 11'10" X 7'3"

    All the essentials, if rather tired units – this could perhaps easily be fixed by replacing the doors. Fridge , hob, washer/dryer all new in 2013.

  • Bedroom 1

    3.5 m X 3.5 m / 11'6" X 11'6"

    Again, this is a bright room, with big windows that let the light burst in. Roomy, it will easily accommodate a king size bed and leave you with plenty of floor space. A large bank of wardrobes behind sliding mirrored doors occupies one wall, giving you enviable storage space. Carpet and curtains to match those in the Lounge.

  • Bathroom

    With a three piece white suite and with a new electric shower unit at one end of the bath, this is finished with laminate sheeting as a splash back. Large mirror behind the sink and loo. Ceramic floor tiles.
