Description
On entering the property you are immediately struck by how airy, light and fresh it is. Being on the second floor means that the property benefits from an abundance of light as well as excellent and far reaching views.
Living Room/Kitchen
The living room leading into the kitchen is immediately in front of you off the hallway. With a large window to the south, it has a clean feel with its stripped pine flooring and an area to the rear which is perfect for a dining table and could easily sit up to eight persons. There is an Edinburgh press, which is being used as a larder and situated just next to the kitchen. On the other side is another large cupboard/Butler’s pantry with ample space, shelving and currently housing a freezer.
An opening from the living room leads to the kitchen. This is a compact but well fitted space with a large window, boasting views to the Pentland hills and ample space for a couple of people to cook. With white speckled marble effect counter tops and matching backsplash, a four ring gas cooker and electric oven as well as fridge and washing machine, under counter and overhead cupboards, a sink by the window, there’s a good ambience and it’s well appointed.

Bathroom
The current owners have redone the bathroom very recently and there is now a superb bathroom with the original cast iron bath and an overhead chrome rain shower as well as handheld appliance protected by a glass screen.

Hall Cupboards x 2
Two enormous and useful walk in hall cupboards with shelving and plenty space for storage of domestic appliances. One could be used as a box study room.
Outside Space
The communal garden to the property is a real bonus. Accessed from the back door to the tenement, it is attractive with borders and a mix of flowers and shrubs. It is also sheltered and would make a really good place to sit and enjoy the sun on a good day. It also provides a useful space to dry washing. Well maintained by volunteers in the stair.
