The property

This traditional second floor apartment is set within the salubrious Bruntsfield district of Edinburgh and offers generously proportioned period accommodation as well as a high degree of privacy to the front and rear. Bruntsfield historically was one of Edinburgh's villages and with direct proximity to the City Centre this area is regarded as one of the most sought after high amenity areas in town. With a reputation for an excellent variety of specialist shops coupled with some of Edinburgh's finest bars and restaurants as well as proximity to 'The Meadows' this really is the proverbial 'des res'. This tree-lined Crescent forms a no through road with residents permit parking and offers an ambient pocket of tranquillity in a very central locale. This quality family home is tastefully presented in neutral tones throughout and is literally ready for the market. The accommodation on offer within consists of a spacious reception hallway with 2 inbuilt cupboard storage areas. First impressions are heightened with the exposed wooden flooring throughout (excluding kitchen and bathroom) and the near perfect condition of the 'au natural' internal doors. The large lounge is set to the front and the impressive bay window formation allows for an abundance of natural light which is reflected on the quality flooring. There is a striking marble central fire surround with slate hearth and cast iron solid fuel fire which adds to the romance and allure of this room. There is original period cornicing and centre rose as well as a private pleasant outlook. The good sized kitchen is to the rear and again enjoys a private outlook which can be enjoyed from the inbuilt window seat. This room can accommodate formal dining and has ample fitted floor and wall mounted storage units in light wood effect finish and set upon beech effect work surfaces. There is an inbuilt storage area and an all important ceiling mounted clothes 'pulley'. Bedroom 1 is to the front and again offers great accommodation with that private outlook. The room has an inbuilt walk in wardrobe come dressing area to the rear as well as an inbuilt shelved display area. Bedrooms 2 and 3 are to the rear with pleasant aspects including the castle through the tree line. There are well maintained and highly attractive window shutters in all principal rooms with the exception of the bathroom. The recently fitted bathroom has a modern 3 piece suite with wall mounted over bath thermostatic shower with rainfall head and further detachable head. The room is finished in attractive white ceramic wall tiles and complimentary ceramic floor tiles. The apartment has gas central heating, quality double glazing in sash and case formation and security entry system. There are communal garden grounds to the rear which are laid mainly to lawn. Reasons to view This apartment exudes real quality providing a subtle blend of contemporary minimalist styling with the period opulence of the Victorian era. The postcode really is the jewel in the crown as the proximity to the centre is paramount when balanced against the tranquil tree-lined ambience this no through road provides. We love everything about this apartment we are convinced the discerning public will agree
