Description

Spacious, two-bedroom, second-floor flat, with a private garden, a balcony and city skyline views. Forming part of an established development, located in the desirable Blackford area of Edinburgh, just south of the city centre. A bright, spacious entrance hall is finished with light, neutral decor and leads into a living room on the left. Enjoying plenty of natural light, from a large, south-facing window and opening onto a balcony with a similar, sunny aspect, the well-proportioned reception room includes built-in cupboard storage and, arranged around a slate fireplace with an open working fire, offers a flexible floor plan for a variety of freestanding furniture. Across the hall, a kitchen, with built-in storage, includes fitted units, a cooker, a fridge, a microwave and a washing machine, whilst a freezer is housed in the attached private store. Set to either aspect and continuing the generous proportions of the living space, two double bedrooms, one with wood flooring, benefit from built-in wardrobe storage. Completing the accommodation, a bathroom comprises a three-piece suite, a shower-over-bath and tiled splash walls.

The sought-after district of Blackford lies south of Edinburgh city centre, and provides a number of local amenities for everyday needs, with the nearby neighbourhoods of Marchmont and Newington offering a variety of speciality shops and a vibrant selection of bars, restaurants, and cafes. The popular Cameron Toll Shopping Centre provides a wide selection of high-street shops as well as a Sainsbury’s superstore. Conveniently located for Edinburgh University, The Royal Infirmary, the Scottish Parliament, and the Royal Commonwealth Pool, Blackford also enjoys easy access to many scenic open green spaces including Blackford Hill, the Braid Hills, The Meadows, Holyrood Park and Arthur’s Seat. Well-regarded schooling is available at all levels within the area, and a regular public transport service provides easy access to and from the city centre.
